Security & Compliance

What we've built.
What we're building.

This page is written for IT and compliance teams reviewing ValixData as a vendor. We've tried to be honest about what exists now and what is on our roadmap — because a vendor who overstates their security posture is worse than no vendor at all.

Current certification status

Where we are today. We don't claim certifications we don't have.

Live
HTTPS / TLS 1.3
All traffic encrypted in transit. HSTS enforced. Certificate transparency monitoring active.
Live
Encryption at rest
All stored data encrypted at rest. Passwords hashed with bcrypt. API keys hashed, never stored plaintext.
Live
Zero retention on ARIA
Conversation sessions are ephemeral. No ARIA query logging. No behavioral profiling. Independently verifiable.
In progress
SOC 2 Type II
Audit preparation underway. Estimated completion Q3 2025. Current controls documented and available for review.
In progress
Penetration testing
First formal third-party pen test scheduled. Results shared under NDA on request.
Planned
ISO 27001
Planned following SOC 2 completion. Frameworks are aligned — control set overlaps significantly.

Security controls in place

What is implemented and verifiable today.

Session isolation — each user session is independent
No shared session state. Sessions expire on logout. Session tokens are not reused.
Directory access controls on all data files
.htaccess deny-all on all data directories. Web server cannot serve raw data files directly.
No third-party tracking or advertising pixels
No Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any third-party analytics SDK on the platform. Verifiable by inspecting network requests.
API key authentication with rate limiting
All API endpoints require authentication. Rate limiting enforced per key. Keys can be revoked instantly.
Anthropic API — zero training on user data
ARIA runs on Anthropic's API under enterprise terms that explicitly prohibit training on user queries. Anthropic's enterprise data processing commitments apply.
Document analysis in-session only
Uploaded documents are analyzed in memory during the session. No document storage on our servers. Nothing persists after logout.
Payment data handled entirely by Stripe
ValixData never sees, processes, or stores card data. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. We store only a Stripe customer ID.
Access logging and anomaly detection
Server-level access logging active. Anomaly detection tooling being formalized. SIEM integration planned Q2 2025.
Formal incident response plan
Incident response runbook drafted. Breach notification process in place. Formal IR retainer planned Q2 2025.

Is ARIA output considered investment research?

The compliance question that matters most to regulated firms.

ARIA does not make investment recommendations
ARIA's system prompt explicitly prohibits giving investment advice, buy/sell recommendations, or price targets. Outputs are structured analytical context, not research in the regulatory sense.
NOVA briefs are labeled synthesized intelligence, not research
Every brief item carries a synthesized data disclosure. Outputs are explicitly framed as context for human judgment, not conclusions. "Human judgment leads" is built into every prompt.
ValixData is not a registered investment adviser
We do not provide personalized investment advice. The platform provides structured intelligence tools for professionals who make their own decisions. We are not subject to investment adviser registration requirements as a result of the platform's design.
Formal regulatory opinion letter available on request
We are preparing a formal securities counsel opinion on the regulatory classification of ARIA outputs. Available to enterprise clients under NDA. Contact .
