Built to be operated inside the most regulated environments in the world.
KeenSafe runs inside Tier-1 banks, national grid operators, healthcare groups and federal-aligned defense suppliers. Every control on this page is enforced at the platform level — not described in a marketing PDF, not left to operator discretion.
Twelve controls procurement teams ask about. Every one is platform-enforced.
We assembled this list from the actual questions our largest customers — and their auditors — ask during procurement. Each pillar links to the underlying enforcement; ask for the full implementation memo under NDA.
Every customer runs in a cryptographically isolated tenant — no shared application state, no shared keys, no shared evidence chain.
- Per-tenant logical isolation enforced at API gateway, orchestrator, and storage tier
- Per-tenant encryption keys derived from tenant-bound key material (KMS / HSM-backed)
- Cross-tenant access requires a signed authorization manifest and is logged as a high-severity event
- Tenant deletion is cryptographic — keys are destroyed first, blobs are zeroized within 24h
TLS 1.3 everywhere in transit. AES-256-GCM at rest. Customer-managed keys supported across SaaS, single-tenant cloud, on-prem and air-gapped.
- TLS 1.3 only — TLS 1.2 is deprecated for new tenants, with mTLS available for high-trust integrations
- AES-256-GCM for at-rest data · KMS-fronted envelope encryption with per-object DEKs
- BYOK and HYOK supported via AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, GCP KMS and HSM (Thales / Entrust)
- FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography modules available for federal-aligned deployments
Every operator action, every API call, every evidence-chain write — append-only, signed, and exportable to your SIEM.
- Tamper-evident audit log written to append-only WORM storage, signed per-event
- Real-time streaming to customer Splunk / Sentinel / Chronicle / S3 via native sink
- Retention defaults to 7 years; configurable per-tenant up to indefinite
- Independent operator-action visibility — KeenSafe staff actions are logged in the customer-visible audit feed
Tenant data, evidence, and processing stay in the region you select. Sovereign-cloud overlays for EU, UK, US, AU, and federal-aligned environments.
- Region pinning enforced at orchestrator and storage layers — data never crosses region without explicit policy
- Sovereign-cloud patterns supported: Bleu (FR), Delos (DE), GCC-High (US-Fed), IL5 / IL6 paths
- Single-tenant deployment available in any AWS / Azure / GCP region
- On-prem and air-gapped options for environments that cannot egress to a vendor cloud
You decide what is retained, for how long, and what gets purged. Cryptographic deletion is the default.
- Configurable retention per data class: scope inventory, attack-path evidence, audit logs, identity metadata
- GDPR Art. 17 / CCPA right-to-delete supported within SLA — surfaced via tenant admin console
- Cryptographic erasure available for high-sensitivity datasets — key destruction precedes data deletion
- Backup and DR copies inherit the source retention class — no retention drift
Fine-grained roles, scoped tokens, short-lived credentials and SSO-everywhere — including for KeenSafe staff access.
- Native SSO via SAML 2.0 and OIDC — Okta, Entra ID, Ping, Auth0, JumpCloud
- Just-in-time provisioning + SCIM 2.0 for user lifecycle automation
- Granular role catalog with 24 built-in roles; custom roles defined via policy DSL
- Phishing-resistant MFA required for admin roles — FIDO2 / WebAuthn (passkeys), TOTP fallback
Every API call is authenticated, signed, rate-limited and scope-bound. The platform exposes nothing more than it needs to.
- OAuth 2.1 with mTLS-bound tokens · short-lived access tokens (15m default) with refresh rotation
- Per-endpoint scope enforcement · token capabilities cannot exceed their grant
- Rate limiting + DDoS protection at the edge · request signing on high-risk endpoints
- OWASP API Security Top 10 mapped to platform controls and re-validated quarterly
No agents required for discovery. Validation is read-only by default. Exploit-grade payloads only execute against written-authorized scope.
- Default-deny on any execution that could cause downtime — promoted to "verify only" mode
- Production-safe validation primitives: read-only enumeration, topological proof-of-reach, sandboxed payload replay
- OT and clinical exclusion lists honored at the orchestration layer — never sent to operators
- Per-run sign-off workflow for any path that crosses a designated critical-asset boundary
Authorized scope is a first-class object. The platform refuses to run against any asset that is not explicitly in scope.
- Written authorization manifest binds every engagement to allowed asset classes, regions, and operators
- Per-asset scope checks at the orchestrator — out-of-scope assets are silently dropped from the run
- Scope changes require multi-party authorization and are logged with reason codes
- Customer-side scope-revocation API — pull a scope and every operator is denied within 60 seconds
DPA, SCCs, BAAs, and procurement collateral ready before the first call with your legal team.
- Standard Contractual Clauses (EU SCCs 2021/914) executed at order time
- HIPAA Business Associate Agreement available for US healthcare deployments
- DPIA template + Transfer Impact Assessment ready to share under NDA
- No customer data is used to train AI models · evidence chain is customer-scoped only
Independently attested and audit-ready for the frameworks your auditors and regulators care about.
- SOC 2 Type II · SOC 3 public report · refreshed annually
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 · ISO/IEC 27017 (cloud) · ISO/IEC 27018 (PII)
- PCI DSS 4.0 SAQ-A (for tenants processing card data context only — KeenSafe never stores PAN)
- HIPAA Security Rule, GDPR Art. 32, NERC CIP-014 evidence acceptance, IEC 62443-3-3 alignment
Zero-trust internal architecture, hardware-key-bound operator access, signed evidence chain end-to-end.
- Internal services use mTLS + SPIFFE workload identities — no shared secrets at the service boundary
- Operator access brokered through a zero-trust gateway with FIDO2 hardware keys and session recording
- Evidence is signed at point of generation; chain-of-custody is verifiable end-to-end
- Quarterly independent penetration tests on the platform itself · summary letter available under NDA
What KeenSafe touches at every phase — and what it does with it.
Independently attested. Audit-ready. Regulator-accepted.
We don't treat compliance as the goal — we treat it as a baseline. The frameworks below are the floor we operate on, not the ceiling we aim for.
The vendors that handle your data — and the ones that don't.
The list below is exhaustive for SaaS deployments. Single-tenant and on-prem deployments may use a subset or none, depending on your region and operating model.
What happens when something goes wrong.
Our IR commitments are operational, not aspirational. If a control on this page fails, you will hear about it from us, with enough detail and enough lead time to brief your own stakeholders.
