Scoped access
Require defined identities, least-privilege roles, and authorization checks for sensitive operations.
TRUST / SECURITY
Trust starts with explicit boundaries
Security claims must describe actual operating controls and their verification status. STANZORA presents its target design principles without inventing certifications.
Security by design principles
These are intended architectural controls, not a blanket statement that every deployment has already passed external audit.
Organizational separation
Prevent one customer’s governance data and evidence from becoming accessible to another.
Data minimization
Limit data collected to a justified purpose with retention and deletion rules.
Accountable events
Capture material operations and administrative actions with appropriate audit context.
Evidence handling
Apply integrity and provenance checks to relevant records where verified implementations support them.
Recovery and response
Specify incident response, failure handling, backup expectations, and recovery responsibilities.
Responsibilities must be explicit
Controls are shared across the platform, deployment operator, customer organization, and any integrated external system.
| Element | What clients should expect |
|---|---|
| Platform provider | Implement and maintain agreed technical controls and disclose limitations. |
| Customer organization | Define policy, owners, users, risk appetite, and lawful use. |
| Integrations | Authorize data transfers and verify third-party control boundaries. |
| Independent assessors | Validate specific claims using suitable evidence and defined scope. |
Claims are evidence-gated
The public website intentionally does not assert specific compliance certifications, penetration-test results, or uptime guarantees.
Security questions for a prospective customer
A purchasing or security team should require testable deployment facts rather than treating architecture intentions as completed controls.
Data handling
Ask what data enters the platform, why it is needed, where it is stored, how long it is retained, and how deletion or export is authorized. Review cross-border and contractual obligations for the intended deployment.
Identity and isolation
Examine authentication, permission enforcement on the server, separation between organizations, privileged access, and negative tests proving that users cannot retrieve another tenant’s records.
Incident and recovery
Require documented logging, containment, escalation, restoration, backup testing, and evidentiary preservation. The implementation must be independently assessed before any public security certification claim.
Before publication of any security or certification claim, link it to current authorized evidence and disclose its exact scope and date.
