Built zero-trust, authorized for the mission.
Security is the platform, not a feature. Every request is authenticated, authorized and logged; every dataset is encrypted; and every workspace is isolated by default.
Zero-trust core
No implicit trust between services. Mutual TLS, short-lived tokens and per-request policy checks throughout.
Encryption everywhere
TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest with envelope keys managed in an HSM-backed key service.
Immutable audit
Every access and change is written to a tamper-evident, exportable audit log with full attribution.
Strong identity
CAC/PIV, federated SSO and attribute-based access control with automated SCIM lifecycle.
Tenant isolation
Mission workspaces are logically isolated with per-workspace keys, roles and network policy.
Continuous monitoring
Runtime threat detection, anomaly alerting and 24/7 defensive telemetry across the estate.
Assessed, authorized, and continuously re-verified
