Security by Architecture, Not by Promise
TraceGov is built with security and compliance at the infrastructure level. Your data never leaves the EU. Every interaction is cryptographically verified. Every design decision prioritizes your data sovereignty.
How Your Data Flows
Every component runs in the EU. There are no exceptions.
Six Security Pillars
Each pillar is enforced at the infrastructure level — not by policy documents.
EU Data Residency
Zero US data transfer. Zero CLOUD Act exposure.
All data is processed and stored exclusively in AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1). This is enforced at the infrastructure level — IAM policies, VPC configuration, and service endpoints are locked to the EU region. No data leaves the EU, ever.
Merkle-Chain Audit Trail
Cryptographic proof of what happened and when.
Every AI interaction produces a SHA-256 hash-verified record. Each record chains to the previous via cryptographic linking, creating a tamper-evident evidence trail that any auditor or regulator can verify independently.
Encryption at Every Layer
AES-256 at rest. TLS 1.3 in transit. AWS KMS managed.
All data is encrypted using industry-standard algorithms managed through AWS Key Management Service. No plaintext storage of sensitive data at any point in the processing pipeline.
7-Year Evidence Retention
Meeting the most stringent regulatory requirements.
Audit trail records are retained for up to 7 years, satisfying the EU AI Act's record-keeping obligations (Article 12) and aligning with financial services regulatory retention requirements.
GDPR Article 25 Compliant
Data protection by design and by default.
TraceGov implements GDPR principles at the architectural level — not as an afterthought. Minimal data collection, purpose limitation, storage limitation, and cryptographically verified data deletion.
Zero Third-Party Data Sharing
Your data stays in your account. Period.
TraceGov never shares your data with third parties for training, analytics, or any other purpose. AI inference runs through AWS Bedrock EU Inference Profiles — your prompts and responses are never used to train foundation models.

Operational Security
Security is not just architecture — it's process, monitoring, and response.
Monitoring & Alerting
- AWS CloudWatch for real-time infrastructure monitoring
- Automated alerting for anomalous access patterns
- Lambda function error tracking and auto-scaling
- CDN performance and security event monitoring
Incident Response
- Detection: automated, within minutes
- Acknowledgment: within 1 hour
- Containment: within 4 hours
- Customer notification: within 24 hours
- Post-incident review: within 72 hours
Access Control
- Role-based access control (RBAC) for all services
- Least-privilege IAM policies — no admin-by-default
- MFA enforced for all infrastructure access
- Audit logging for all administrative actions
Secure Development
- Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK / CloudFormation)
- Automated dependency vulnerability scanning
- Code review required for all production changes
- Separate staging and production environments
