Security and Trust

The evidence behind our security claims, not just the claims.

Encevra reads the documents behind your most consequential decisions, so you are entitled to know exactly what is protected today and what is still being built. Every control below carries one of three labels: Available, In development, or Planned. Nothing is listed as Available unless it is implemented and in use.

AvailableImplemented and in use today.In developmentActively being built or assessed.PlannedCommitted, not yet started.

Source-linked evidence

Source-linked findings. Verifiable evidence. Checks run before conclusions reach your workflow.

  • Mechanical quote location

    Every quote a specialist supplies is located in the exact material submitted for the run, with a character span. Model-written quotes that cannot be found are labelled Insufficient evidence and cannot be marked source verified.

    Available
  • Separate interpretation review

    A reviewer on a different model checks whether each located passage supports the claim. Agreement between models is treated as a review signal, not proof.

    Available
  • Uncertainty instead of filler

    Gaps and missing clauses describe what was searched rather than citing absent text. Unresolved findings stay visible and the brief is released as incomplete when checks do not pass.

    Available
  • Version-pinned document citations

    Desk catalog documents reach the engine pinned to an exact stored version, so a replacement upload does not redirect old citations.

    Available
  • Page, bounding box and OCR quality references

    Citations that point to a page region of a scanned original, with OCR quality warnings and a side by side viewer.

    Planned
  • Authoritative legal source checks

    Claims about what the law requires, checked against a dated, jurisdiction specific legal source. Today a contract citation supports only what the contract says.

    Planned

Deployment and data control

Private deployment. Customer-controlled data. Here is what runs today and what still needs infrastructure.

  • Enterprise hosted

    Encevra managed infrastructure calling approved third party model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind). Customer content leaves our infrastructure for inference at those providers.

    Available
  • Server-enforced model policy

    Every specialist call, retry and fallback is checked against an approved model list before it is sent. A blocked call stops the attempt instead of rerouting content. Policy is set per deployment today, not yet per workspace.

    Available
  • Customer private cloud

    Runtime in your cloud account using local models or inference endpoints you approve, with disclosure whenever data leaves your account. Requires packaging the runtime, storage, queues and authentication away from our managed backend.

    Planned
  • On-premises and air-gapped

    All runtime services and models running locally with no external connectivity, including installation, authentication, telemetry, licensing and updates. Hosted proprietary models are not available offline, and results may differ on local models. A private endpoint or your own API key is not air-gapped.

    Planned
  • Region, retention and support access controls

    Per customer settings for processing region, retention and deletion windows, and customer-approved support access.

    Planned

Encryption

Customer documents, prompts and analysis outputs are treated as confidential from the moment they arrive.

  • TLS 1.2+ in transit

    Every connection to the application, the public Noetis API and the database is encrypted in transit, with HSTS and strict transport security headers applied at the edge.

    Available
  • Encryption at rest

    Documents, extracted text, findings and decision records are stored in managed Postgres and object storage with disk-level encryption at rest.

    Available
  • Credential hashing

    API keys are stored only as hashes. A key is shown once at creation, can be given an expiry, and can be revoked immediately without affecting other keys.

    Available
  • Customer-managed encryption keys

    Bring-your-own-key encryption for document storage, for organisations with a key management requirement.

    Planned

Data isolation

No request is trusted to say who it belongs to. Identity comes from a verified session or a verified API credential, and every row is bound to it.

  • Row-level isolation on every table

    Decisions, evidence, findings, feedback, decision records, runs and keys are all constrained at the database layer to their owning account. An identifier supplied in a request is a selector to be authorised, never a claim to be believed.

    Available
  • Server-only writes for the evidence record

    Findings and decision records cannot be written or edited by a client. They are produced by the analysis engine and by explicit release actions, so the audit trail cannot be rewritten after the fact.

    Available
  • Isolation carried through background work

    Queued analyses, workers and document downloads re-check ownership rather than inheriting trust from the request that created them.

    Available
  • Organisation workspaces with roles

    Shared team workspaces with per-role permissions, so several reviewers can work one decision under separate identities.

    In development
  • Data residency selection

    Choice of processing and storage region, including EU-only processing.

    Planned

Audit logging

Security-relevant events and decision history are recorded separately, and neither can be edited through the product.

  • Append-only security event log

    Authentication events, API credential use and failures, approval changes and abuse signals are written to a log that the application cannot update or delete. Raw addresses are never stored; only a one-way hash used for correlation.

    Available
  • Versioned decision records

    Each released decision record freezes the evidence used, the analysis version, every finding, every accept, reject or change your reviewers made, and the decision a human took. Versions are immutable.

    Available
  • Credential-probing protection

    Repeated invalid API credential attempts from the same origin are blocked automatically and recorded.

    Available
  • Customer-exportable audit trail

    Self-serve export of workspace audit events and decision records for internal review.

    In development
  • Log streaming to your SIEM

    Forwarding of workspace audit events to Splunk, Sentinel or an S3 bucket you control.

    Planned

SOC 2 roadmap

Encevra does not claim certification it does not hold. This is the actual sequence of work and where it currently stands.

  • Control design and evidence baseline

    Access control, encryption, logging, change management and vendor review documented and enforced in code rather than policy alone.

    Available
  • Independent penetration testing

    Recurring testing of the application, the public Noetis API and the analysis engine by independent security firms. Results are tracked to closure and shared with enterprise customers under NDA.

    In development
  • SOC 2 Type I readiness

    Formal readiness assessment, mandatory administrator multi-factor authentication and vendor terms review across every model provider.

    In development
  • SOC 2 Type II observation period

    A continuous observation window with an accredited auditor, followed by the Type II report.

    Planned
  • ISO 27001

    Pursued after SOC 2 Type II, where enterprise demand justifies it.

    Planned

Incident response

What happens when something goes wrong, and what you can expect from us while it does.

  • Credential disabling and workload suspension

    Any API key, account or queued workload can be disabled immediately without a deployment, and spending caps are enforced at job creation rather than detected afterwards.

    Available
  • Evidence preservation

    Security events, run history and decision records are retained in append-only form so an investigation can reconstruct what happened.

    Available
  • Documented response runbook and severity ladder

    Named on-call ownership, defined severity levels, containment and recovery steps, and isolated backup restoration drills.

    In development
  • Contractual breach notification windows

    Committed customer notification timelines written into enterprise agreements and the data processing addendum.

    In development
  • Public status page

    Live availability of the API, database, runs and webhooks with 90 days of daily run history, at encevra.com/status.

    Available

Security review before you buy, not after.

Enterprise evaluations include a security questionnaire response, architecture walk through, a data processing addendum and access to independent assessment summaries under NDA. Read the wider program in Project Knox.
