Trust & Security

RLVNCE is infrastructure for regulated, citation-heavy workflows. Security, data isolation, and provenance are foundational - not afterthoughts.


In place today

Current security and data protection controls

Encryption

TLS encryption for all data in transit (HTTPS everywhere)

AWS-managed encryption at rest for all stored data

Passwords hashed with bcrypt (never stored in plaintext)

API keys hashed with SHA-256 (shown once on creation, never retrievable)

Tenant isolation

Application-level data isolation - every API request scoped to authenticated tenant

Corpora, documents, API keys, and usage data fully isolated per organization

API gateway enforces authentication and per-plan rate limiting on every request

Inter-service communication authenticated via HMAC-SHA256 signed tokens

Authentication & access control

API key authentication with scoped permissions (per-corpus, per-operation)

API key expiration dates and immediate revocation

OAuth 2.1 for MCP server (authorization code + PKCE, JWT access tokens)

Session authentication with JWT for dashboard access

Organization-level team management with admin/standard roles

Append-only audit logs of all administrative actions - corpus changes, policy updates, API key lifecycle, team membership

Provenance & auditability

Every search result includes source URL, content hash, and timestamps

SHA-256 content hashing for document integrity and change detection

Webhook deliveries signed with HMAC-SHA256 for authenticity verification

robots.txt respected by default with configurable override

Data handling

No customer data used for model training, benchmarking, or any purpose beyond service delivery

Corpus deletion permanently removes all documents, indexes, and change events

Defined data retention periods for all data types (see Privacy Policy)

Usage metering with real-time plan enforcement and spend controls

Infrastructure

Hosted on AWS (US region) with managed encryption

Kubernetes-orchestrated services with automated scaling

Structured logging and OpenTelemetry tracing across all services

Secrets managed outside code repositories with rotation policies


In progress

Actively building toward enterprise-grade compliance

SOC 2

Working toward SOC 2 Type I with controls mapped to the platform architecture. Type II to follow.

SAML SSO

Enterprise single sign-on via SAML (IdP-initiated and SP-initiated) for dashboard and API access.

Data Processing Addendum (DPA)

Standard DPA template with subprocessors list for enterprise procurement. Explicit contractual language on data handling and no-training guarantees.

Vulnerability management program

SAST/DAST scanning, dependency auditing, patch SLAs, and tracked exceptions. Annual external penetration testing with remediation tracking.

Incident response

Formal IR playbooks, communication templates, on-call rotation, and postmortem process.

Status page

Public status page with uptime monitoring, incident history, and maintenance notifications.


On the roadmap

Planned for upcoming releases

Regional deployments

EU, UK, and Australia regions for data sovereignty compliance.

RBAC with fine-grained roles

Admin, Operator, Developer, Read-only roles with per-corpus permissions.

SCIM provisioning

Automated user provisioning and deprovisioning from your identity provider.

IP allowlisting

Restrict API and dashboard access to approved IP ranges.

Private connectivity

VPC peering or PrivateLink for customers requiring network-level isolation.

SLA with uptime guarantees

Formal SLA template with uptime commitments and support response targets.

Customer-managed encryption keys

BYOK support for customers requiring their own KMS key management.

Data retention controls

Per-corpus configurable retention for query logs, extracted content, and audit logs.
