Trust · Governance
Data residency, audit trail, kill switch, version lock.
In short: your data stays in Europe, every run is logged, anything can be stopped instantly, and every version can be restored. Below are the documents your security lead and DPO want before a call.

Principles
Three promises we'll put in writing.
01
You own everything
Code, prompts, configuration, logs. We hand it over turnkey.
02
No shadow operations
The agent runs where you already have security, backup and incident response.
03
Reversible
A kill switch. A rollback. No lock-in to our platform, because there is none.
Data residency
We deploy where your security already lives.
Your environment, your rules
Data never leaves your house.
The agent runs in the cloud tenant you have already security-reviewed. We install, you own it. We never see production data.
- Deployment via your existing IaC pipeline.
- Keys and secrets stay in your vault.
- Logs and traces are written to your observability system.
We deploy where you already are

Have a different environment? We adapt to you, not the other way around.

Direction, not red tape
Rules that show the way forward.
You don't get more rules to manage. You get a direction to follow, with the documents your security lead and DPO actually ask for.
Direction before regulation. Proof before claims.
