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.
Give auditors verifiable evidence, not spreadsheets
Traditional audit prep means engineers pulling logs, compliance teams formatting spreadsheets, and everyone hoping the auditor doesn't ask a question nobody anticipated. InferaDB changes that interaction entirely. Auditors get cryptographically verifiable evidence they can check independently — your team's role shifts from "evidence producer" to "evidence presenter."
Seconds to answer, not days
"Could User X access Resource Y on March 14th?" With traditional systems, that question triggers a cross-team investigation. With InferaDB, you query the audit trail and return a signed decision record — complete with the policy version that was active and the exact authorization path evaluated.
Auditors verify without your help
Hand your auditor the proof chain and the open-source verification tool. They confirm evidence integrity themselves — no vendor calls, no trust assumptions, no back-and-forth. The audit relationship shifts from "trust us" to "check it yourself."
Continuous readiness, not audit sprints
Evidence is generated as decisions happen, not assembled before an audit window. Your compliance team can pull current evidence any day of the year. When audit season arrives, you export — you don't scramble.
Your auditors verify independently
Hand your auditor the proof chain and the open-source verification tool. They confirm evidence integrity themselves — no vendor calls, no trust assumptions. The evidence speaks for itself.
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.
Auditors are asking harder questions. "Trust us" is no longer an answer.
Give them verifiable proof instead.
Cryptographic evidence of every access decision. Data residency by infrastructure, not policy. Compliance that doesn't require engineering sprints.
