Trust & verification

Don't trust us — verify us

Every action a Pie takes is signed on your device and hash-chained. Change one byte and every block after it breaks — see for yourself.

The audit chain

Tamper with a signed block

Editing any block reverses its hash and breaks every block after it. This is how the chain proves nothing was rewritten.

What is true today

Four facts, each with its status

Live

Signed on your device

An Ed25519 key made at enrollment signs every action. The private key never leaves the device.

Live

The pod calls out

Your pod reports on a heartbeat; the cloud never reaches in. Controls wait as commands the pod pulls.

Live

Keys in a sealed vault

Your provider keys are AES-256-GCM encrypted in the on-device gateway. Never transmitted, never logged.

Roadmap

SOC 2

On the roadmap, not yet audited. We will say so the day it is true — not before.

Data residency

Where your data lives

India-region pods

Your pod and its data sit in-region. Compute stays where you put it.

Metadata-only by default

At the default telemetry dial, only action metadata leaves the device — never message bodies or keys.

DPDP and GDPR-aligned

Mapped to DPDP and GDPR duties — aligned, not certified. The mapping is published below.

The full picture

The rest of this page is the detail your security reviewer will ask for — the gate every action passes, what a CXO can see, and what is ours versus other people's open-source work.

The governance plane — one gate, every action

The part that makes a Pie governed rather than merely useful is ours. Every action a Pie attempts passes a single gate; nothing routes around it: kill switch → per-Pie pause → policy → autonomy floors → approval. What the gate enforces:

  • Live One-tap approvals. A default-deny broker parks anything sensitive until you tap Approve or Deny. Each approval is time-boxed and single-use — silence means no.
  • Live Autonomy dial, L0–L3. Each Pie runs from observe-only to trusted. Above the dial sit platform floors you cannot configure away: payment.* and data.delete always need a human — enforced in code, not a setting.
  • Live Hard-stop budgets. Per-Pie and per-company caps at the model gateway; a Pie that hits its cap stops. Cost-spike anomaly rules watch for runaway burn.
  • Live On-device PII shield. Aadhaar, PAN, Luhn-checked card numbers, email and phone are redacted on the device before any model sees them.
  • Live Content guardrails. Before/after hooks (regex, JSON-schema, code-detection) run in the open SDK — no third-party guardrail SaaS in the path.
  • Live Kill switch. One tap pauses every Pie on the instance instantly; the stop is recorded in the chain and is resumable.
  • Live Durable-once delivery. A governed reply reaches the customer exactly once behind a stable idempotency key — retried through an outage, dead-lettered, never double-posted.
  • Live Governance metrics. A Prometheus surface computed from the signed chain itself. Your monitoring reads the same record your auditor does.

Our access. Support access to your tenant is scoped, time-boxed, reason-logged, and shows up in your own audit log — our actions are hash-chained too.

What leaves your premises

Controlled by the telemetry dial, enforced on-device before anything is sent:

Dial settingLeaves the deviceNever leaves
metadata (default)Action class, tool name, timestamps, cost, autonomy level, hash-chain headers, success/failureMessage bodies, document content, recipient lists, API keys
redactedMetadata + redacted summaries (entities masked)Raw content, API keys
full (explicit opt-in)Metadata + action summaries for richer audit searchAPI keys — never, at any setting

CXO oversight — the Fleet console

When pods enrol with our cloud, a CXO or org admin gets one pane over the whole fleet — and it works without ever reaching into a pod. Each pod calls out on a heartbeat with a secret-free self-report; controls are queued as commands the pod pulls on its next beat. From the console an admin can:

  • See live pod state — service health, companies, Pies, configured providers, and spend today/this month in exact micro-USD.
  • Hold the controls — pause or resume a single Pie, or the whole fleet, from the cloud.
  • Set the org leash — allowed BYOK providers, a monthly budget ceiling, an autonomy ceiling L0–L3 (a ceiling only — the floors always still apply), and an allowlist of hosts any pod may reach.
  • Approve hires and watch anomalies — approve or reject a new-hire board request; chain-verified ingest flags cost spikes, repeated denials, chain gaps and odd-hours activity.
  • See the surface, never the content — which governed connectors each pod runs (names + tool counts, never a token) and a secret-free Founder OS rollup — org names + counts, never a value.

Fleet ingest, org policy and the command channel are shipped and chain-verified Live; a richer live CXO dashboard is being extended Roadmap. A pod only appears here once it's enrolled — Solo pods report to no one.

Connectors, data boundaries & your own database

  • Enableable Governed connectors. Every MCP tool the pod gains is classified, its first use asks you, and a server that changes a tool must re-earn approval (input-schema-hash drift). Endpoints are checked against an SSRF denylist; parameters are hashed on the chain (raw bytes never land); connector tokens are AES-256-GCM encrypted and write-only.
  • Founder OS boundary. The operating plane lives in the pod's own database. The cloud only ever mirrors a secret-free rollup — names and counts — never a field label or a cell value.
  • Enableable Your own database. Opt-in, one-way export to a Postgres, MySQL or MongoDB you control. The connection string is AES-256-GCM encrypted and write-only; the pod pushes OUT on demand — never inbound.

What we built — and what is other people's work

The enforcement above is ours. So is the evidence layer beneath it — the record that proves what happened, verifiable without us.

OursWhat it doesStatus
The audit chainEd25519 over RFC 8785 canonical JSON, hash-linked. Money is integer micro-USD, never a float — two verifiers must agree on a total we signed.Live
Offline verifierChecks a chain with no network and no account with us. A record you can only verify by asking the vendor is not evidence.Live
Driver RecordThe chain projected onto one named human — what they decided, signed, portable, verifiable after they leave.Live
The Itz'atA person's decisions projected out of the chain into a portable credential — verifiable offline with no access to the pod, theirs to keep.Live
The spec, Apache-2.0Driver Record schema + chain format + the verifier — the thin layer, so the evidence outlives us.Roadmap

On the last row, plainly: the thin layer is committed to Apache-2.0 and is not published yet. Until it is, treat it as intent, not something you can go and read. Everything above it — this control plane, the fleet and mentor consoles, provisioning, licence issuance — is not open source and is not planned to be.

What we stand on

Everything the Pie runs on is third-party open source, and we name it — Apache-2.0/MIT-class only, local models Apache-2.0 or MIT. The per-release SBOM is published alongside each golden-image version.

ComponentRoleLicense
Agent runtime (OpenClaw)Agents + chat channelsOSS (see SBOM)
Org/governance layer (Paperclip)Org chart, budgets, approvalsOSS (see SBOM)
Model gateway (LiteLLM)BYOK routing, budget capsOSS (see SBOM)

We also publish an MIT platform toolkit on npm: @demystify/rag, @demystify/extract, @demystify/events, @demystify/gateway-sdk, @demystify/platform-contracts, @demystify/platform-observability, @demystify/platform-profiles, @demystify/platform-state and @demystify/voice-client — published and open, but no Pie depends on them yet. When that changes, the capability list will say so.
