Security and data residency.

An AI governance assessment holds sensitive detail about how an organisation operates. This page sets out how Aegis protects it, in plain terms.

Tenant isolation by the database

Every table that holds an organisation’s data is protected by Postgres row-level security. Each request declares who is acting before it runs, and the database itself decides which rows that person may see.

The application connects as a role that owns no tables and cannot bypass these policies. A query written incorrectly still cannot return another organisation’s records.

Data residency

The standard deployment runs on managed cloud infrastructure. The sovereign deployment is a dedicated, single-tenant installation in a Ghana data centre, so interview content and evidence stay in Ghana.

On the sovereign tier, interviews and drafting can run on self-hosted models, so no content needs to leave the country for AI processing.

Append-only audit log

Significant actions, including reviews, approvals and signatures, are written to an audit log the application can add to but not edit or remove. Interview answers are append-only in the same way: a correction is a new answer, and the original is kept. The one exception is a deliberate, recorded erasure when data protection law requires deletion.

Encryption

Data is encrypted in transit between your browser and the platform, and our deployment standard requires encryption at rest. Per-organisation encryption keys for uploaded evidence are on the roadmap.

AI vendors

AI providers sit behind adapters, so a deployment can use a different provider or a self-hosted model without changing how scoring works. Our policy is to use AI providers only on terms that prohibit training on your data.

What the AI can and cannot do.

The division is enforced in how the platform is built. The AI produces language; rules and people produce decisions.

The AI can

  • Conduct interviews and ask follow-up questions
  • Suggest which uploaded document supports an answer, with a citation
  • Draft organisation-specific wording within vetted clauses

The AI cannot

  • Set or change any score
  • Decide whether a control is met
  • Approve, sign or issue a document
  • Read another organisation’s data

Uploaded documents and transcripts are passed to the AI as data to read, never as instructions to follow.

Public verification, without disclosure.

Every issued document carries a QR code and a verification code. The public check confirms the document type, the issuing organisation, its version and date, and whether it is current or superseded.

It reveals no score, finding or content. Drafts are never verifiable, because they were never issued.

Certifications and testing

Aegis does not yet hold third-party security certifications. An independent penetration test is planned before the first public-sector deployment goes live. We are happy to answer security questionnaires and share our data processing agreement on request.
