Security
TeNova Axiom is built for regulated environments. Security is not a feature; it is the foundation.
Encryption
In Transit
TLS 1.3
HSTS enforced, HTTP/2, no legacy protocol fallback
At Rest
AES-256
Supabase managed encryption for all database storage
Witness Anchors
SHA-256
Cryptographic fingerprints for every compliance verdict
API Keys
SHA-256 Hash
Raw keys shown once at creation, stored only as irreversible hashes
Access Control
- Row-Level Security (RLS) at the database layer enforces tenant isolation. No tenant can query another tenant's data, even with a valid session.
- Role-based access control with three roles: admin, analyst (read + attest), and assessor (read-only).
- Multi-factor authentication (TOTP) available for all accounts.
- Infrastructure access restricted to SSH key authentication. Password login and root login are disabled.
- All administrative actions are recorded in an immutable audit log (SI-12).
Vulnerability Management
- Daily automated vulnerability scanning with Trivy (pinned binary, SHA-256 verified).
- Scan results correlated against NIST National Vulnerability Database.
- Automated POA&M generation with severity-based remediation milestones: CRITICAL 7 days, HIGH 30 days, MEDIUM 90 days.
- CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) feed correlation and priority boost.
- Current posture: 0 Critical, 0 High, 3 Medium open findings.
Data Handling
- AI Witness SDK operates on a zero-knowledge principle. At Clearing Level 1 and above, raw prompts and model responses are never transmitted. Only cryptographic hashes and numeric factors are stored.
- Infrastructure compliance telemetry is processed deterministically. Raw evidence is not retained after adjudication.
- All exports (OSCAL SSP, POA&M, Assessment Results) are signed with SHA-256 and anchored in the Sovereign Witness Ledger.
- Daily encrypted backups with AES-256 symmetric encryption. 7-day retention for daily backups, 4-week retention for weekly backups.
Compliance Alignment
The Axiom platform is built against and continuously evaluated against the following frameworks:
All compliance evidence is available through the platform itself, including OSCAL-validated exports, cryptographic audit trails, and real-time posture dashboards.
Incident Response
Severity-based response commitments:
| Severity | Response | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | 30 minutes | 4 hours |
| High | 2 hours | 8 hours |
| Medium | 4 hours | 24 hours |
| Low | Next business day | 5 business days |
Responsible Disclosure
If you discover a security vulnerability in the TeNova Axiom platform or any SWT3 SDK, please report it to security@tenovaai.com. We will acknowledge receipt within 24 hours and provide a resolution timeline within 72 hours. We do not pursue legal action against good-faith security researchers.
