Prove to auditors that access control is correct
Compliance frameworks demand evidence that access decisions are accurate, complete, and tamper-proof. Most authorization systems produce logs. InferaDB produces cryptographic proof — every decision hash-chained, Merkle-verified, and independently auditable.
Auditors want proof, not promises
When a SOC 2 auditor asks "can you prove that User X could not access Resource Y on March 14th?", most systems produce application logs that could have been altered. That's not proof. That's a promise. Regulators are increasingly demanding cryptographic evidence that access control decisions are accurate and complete.
Log integrity is assumed, not verified
Traditional audit logs live in mutable databases. Anyone with admin access can alter or delete entries. Auditors have to trust your word that logs are complete.
Compliance is bolted on
Most authorization systems treat compliance as an afterthought — a reporting layer added on top. When regulators ask hard questions, the answers require manual investigation.
Multi-framework complexity
SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, NIS2, DORA — each framework has different access control requirements. Mapping one authorization system to multiple frameworks is painful.
Every access decision is independently verifiable — no trust in InferaDB required
Every permission decision is recorded in a hash-chained, append-only ledger. Each entry includes a Merkle proof that your auditors can verify independently using open-source tooling. If a single entry is altered or deleted, the chain breaks and the tampering is immediately detectable — by you, not just by us.
Hash-chained entries
Every audit record links cryptographically to its predecessor. Altering any entry invalidates every subsequent hash — giving your compliance team a continuous, verifiable chain of evidence.
Independent verification
Auditors verify proof chains with open-source tooling. No proprietary software, no vendor dependency for compliance evidence. You never have to take our word for it.
SIEM export
Stream audit events to Splunk, Datadog, or your existing compliance toolchain. Cryptographic proofs travel with the data, so verification works wherever the logs land.
Purpose-built for regulated environments
InferaDB's architecture maps directly to the access control requirements of major compliance frameworks. Evidence generation is automatic — not a quarterly scramble before audit season.
SOC 2
Logical access controls (CC6.1), system monitoring (CC7.2), and change management (CC8.1) addressed by cryptographic audit trails and policy versioning. InferaDB's hash-chained audit trail provides the continuous monitoring evidence CC6.1 requires — exportable on demand, not reconstructed after the fact.
HIPAA
Access controls (164.312(a)), audit controls (164.312(b)), and person authentication (164.312(d)) built into the core authorization engine. Every access decision affecting ePHI is logged with full subject, resource, and action context — ready for HHS audit requests without manual log correlation.
GDPR
Data minimization (Art. 5), right to erasure (Art. 17) via cryptographic shredding, and accountability (Art. 5(2)) via verifiable audit trails. InferaDB's region-pinned data residency eliminates cross-border authorization data transfers, directly satisfying Chapter V transfer restrictions.
PCI DSS
Requirement 7 (restrict access), Requirement 10 (track and monitor access), and Requirement 12 (information security policies) natively supported. Merkle-verified logs satisfy Requirement 10.5's log integrity mandate without additional file integrity monitoring tools.
NIS2
Access control policies, incident handling, and supply chain security requirements addressed through policy versioning and cryptographic audit trails. Immutable decision logs provide the forensic evidence NIS2 Article 21 requires for incident analysis and post-breach reporting.
DORA
ICT risk management, incident reporting, and operational resilience testing supported by tamper-proof logging and multi-region deployment. Verifiable audit trails give financial entities the evidence trail DORA Article 11 demands for ICT incident classification and reporting.
Authorization data stays where regulators require it
Pin authorization data to specific regions. EU data stays in the EU. US data stays in the US. Cross-border transfers for authorization decisions are architecturally eliminated — not managed by policy, but prevented by infrastructure. Your DPO gets a clean answer when regulators ask where personal data flows.
Honor erasure requests completely, not approximately
When a data subject exercises their right to erasure under GDPR Article 17, InferaDB destroys the encryption keys for their authorization data. The data becomes cryptographically irrecoverable — satisfying erasure requirements completely, without the risk of incomplete deletion across distributed storage. Your DPA response is "data destroyed", not "we believe we found all copies."
Your compliance posture with InferaDB Cloud
InferaDB Cloud is designed to meet the security and privacy requirements of regulated organizations on every plan. Compliance is not a premium add-on.
GDPR compliant on every plan
Data processing agreements available. Region-pinned storage, cryptographic shredding, and verifiable audit trails are standard capabilities — not enterprise upsells.
Encryption everywhere
All authorization data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3. Encryption is always on, with no configuration required.
Shared responsibility model
InferaDB secures the infrastructure: storage encryption, network isolation, access logging, and platform availability. You own your authorization policy logic and access patterns. Clear boundaries, no ambiguity.
SOC 2 Type II in progress
SOC 2 Type II certification is underway. Contact us for current status, security questionnaire responses, or to schedule a security review with our team.
