Data, Product & Security Systems

The infrastructure that makes AI features safe, fast, and trustworthy. Pipelines that feed the model, security that doesn't block velocity, product surfaces engineered for trust. In business terms: pass the audits that unblock enterprise deals, without slowing your release cadence.

▸ What's in scope

Three pillars, one engagement

Data pipelines

ETL/ELT, CDC, vector index freshness, contract testing on schemas. The data your AI consumes has to be right and fresh — not "we re-index when someone notices."

DevSecOps

Secrets via OIDC and KMS, SAST/DAST in CI, supply-chain attestation (SLSA), dependency policy. Velocity-preserving — security gates that don't grind releases to a halt.

Product trust surfaces

Confidence indicators, source citations, fallback UX when the model errors. The frontend pieces that turn an AI feature into one users actually trust.

▸ Specialized add-ons

For teams with regulated data

Private inference path

vLLM in your VPC for sensitive workloads. Hybrid routing — sensitive prompts stay private, non-sensitive use frontier vendors via private link.

Per-prompt audit log

Every model call logged with redacted payload, requester identity, model version, and cost. Auditor-ready by design, not by retrofit.

Redaction gateway

Pre-call PII detection and removal. Patterns tuned to your data shape. Fail-closed when uncertain.

DPA & compliance support

We help shape vendor DPAs for HIPAA / GDPR / SOC 2 contexts. We're not lawyers; we know which questions to bring to yours.

▸ Proof & deliverables

What you actually walk away with

Representative outcome

Platforms built to pass SOC 2 · ISO 27001 · PCI-DSS

Our founding CTO has architected and operated cloud platforms for financial services and security companies under SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS regimes — including payment infrastructure where an audit finding is a business problem, not a checkbox.

Founder track record, anonymized. Compliance scope varies by engagement — we'll map yours on the intro call.

Concrete deliverables
  • Data pipelines with schema contract tests and freshness SLOs — in your repos, documented
  • Secrets on OIDC + KMS, SAST/DAST wired into CI, dependency policy that doesn't block releases
  • Per-prompt audit log and redaction gateway, configured for your data shapes and retention rules
  • Evidence pack for your auditors: architecture diagrams, control mappings, access policies
  • Trust-surface UI patterns (citations, confidence, fallbacks) ready for your product team to ship
