Security Architecture

Enterprise defense-in-depth.
Multi-tenant isolation by design.

Yves protects institutional feedback pipelines through database-level tenant isolation, end-to-end payload encryption, and verifiable access logging. Security telemetry and detection heuristics are generated directly from production environments, ensuring absolute parity between documentation and operational controls.

6

Defense layers

Edge filtering, network isolation, compute sandboxing, database partitioning, crypto, and telemetry.

23

Detection rules

Authoritative FIP-001 to FIP-023 rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK with runbooks.

7

Automated controls

Deterministic, edge-evaluated mitigation policies with zero model-in-the-loop latency.

21

Verified controls

Continuously validated against SOC 2 and ISO 27001 baseline specifications.

Security Posture

Deterministic enforcement. Immutable audit trails.

Automated edge controls enforce rate limiting, injection filtering, and credential abuse throttling. Every intervention is bounded, deterministic, and logged prior to enforcement to guarantee channel availability.

Enforcement mechanisms rely on compiled, deterministic rules rather than stochastic AI models. This design maintains sub-millisecond request latencies and completely isolates the input evaluation path from prompt-injection vulnerabilities.

Data protection is architected at the storage layer: multi-tenant isolation is enforced on every database query, cryptographic keys are managed via dedicated HSMs, and role-based access controls write every authorization check to tamper-evident logs.

End-to-End Traceability

Cryptographic request lineage across all services

Every transaction carries a globally unique trace identifier. Security administrators can reconstruct the complete chronological chain of microservice invocations, data queries, and automated enrichment jobs for any submission.

  • Chronological event reconstruction across a rolling 30-day timeline, restricted to authorized security administrators
  • Every data query and access attempt records an immutable audit log entry, whether granted or denied
  • Enrichment workers record schema reads, field writes, and vector indexing operations on every processing pass
Model Security & Guardrails

Defenses against prompt injection and data extraction

Inbound unstructured text is pre-sanitized and isolated before evaluation. Prompt-injection attempts, jailbreak heuristics, and malicious payloads are quarantined with verbatim incident evidence.

  • Every model inference links cryptographically to source message archives for verifiable provenance
  • Processing pipeline telemetry monitors queue health to detect worker denial-of-service attempts in real time
  • Inference volume tracking by classification domain surfaces anomalous token consumption bursts immediately
Access Governance

Purpose-based authorization and activity auditing

Granular role-based permissions, automated credential revocation, and time-bounded access declarations ensure that sensitive institutional feedback is accessible only on a verified need-to-know basis.

  • Purpose-based access declarations require explicit operational justification and expire automatically after 8 hours
  • Automated field-level redaction isolates respondent identifiers while allowing analytical teams to review categorized themes
  • Privilege recertification derives downgrade and revocation recommendations from actual operational telemetry
Shared Responsibility Model

Explicit boundaries.
Transparent operational controls.

The Yves security model defines exact operational boundaries across cloud hosting, network egress, application runtime, and tenant data. Security and compliance teams can inspect our documented threat models, boundary specifications, and incident response procedures at any time.

Automated Defense Controls

Deterministic edge protection policies

Automated controls execute at the network edge to isolate abuse, enforce rate limits, and sanitize inbound payloads before compute resources are engaged.

01

Edge ingress firewall

Filters malformed headers, invalid HTTP verbs, and known malicious IP reputations before requests enter internal application meshes.

02

Dynamic rate limiting

Applies sliding-window token bucket throttling against rapid automated traffic, preserving channel availability for organic users.

03

Authentication protection

Monitors credential stuffing and brute-force authentication anomalies, enforcing step-up verification and exponential backoffs.

04

Payload sanitization

Inspects inbound JSON, form bodies, and raw text payloads for SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and prompt-injection patterns.

05

Statistical volume baseline

Computes rolling hourly ingress baselines (mean ± 2σ) to identify volumetric anomalies and distributed submission surges.

06

Automated burst quarantine

Routes rapid submissions matching identical device signatures directly to isolated review queues, preventing flood manipulation.

07

Multi-signal correlation

Correlates weak indicators across network, identity, and content layers to detect distributed, low-and-slow manipulation campaigns.

08

Production rule catalog

Maintains a live registry of detection heuristics mapped directly to MITRE ATT&CK techniques, synced with production runtime code.

09

Embedded incident runbooks

Provides structured response checklists, escalation procedures, and containment triggers directly beside active security alerts.

“Security policies and detection rules are compiled directly from production infrastructure code, ensuring zero divergence between audited controls and real-time enforcement.”
