Security and provenance

Trust starts before the retrieval request.

CorpusMesh is being designed around source integrity, tenant isolation, bounded access, and operational recovery. This page describes the current engineering principles, not certifications we have not earned.

Source integrity

Immutable source artifacts, checksums, deterministic document identities, and explicit version activation.

Tenant boundaries

Scoped entitlements, default-deny filters, bounded responses, and auditable API-key lifecycle design.

Operational recovery

Health checks, release traceability, rollback paths, and restore verification for canonical data.

Secret handling

Runtime credentials stay outside source control and are injected through the managed secret system.

Provenance by design

The source record is part of the product.

Knowledge-base versions are intended to preserve source authorities, canonical locations, licensing evidence, document checksums, transformations, and verification state.

Retrieval projections remain replaceable. Canonical records and immutable artifacts do not depend on a particular vector database.

Inspect the EU AI Act trace to see the current lineage and boundary evidence. Published availability, service commitments, and security claims will be added only when they are operationally supported.

Responsible disclosure
