Trust & Compliance Layer

The control plane for secure, compliant, and auditable AI operations—built for public sector rigor.

What It Is

The Trust & Compliance Layer is where LaplaceX enforces policy and proves accountability. It manages identity and access, guards how data is used by models, redacts sensitive fields, and records every decision—so teams can move fast without breaking rules.

Why It Matters

Policy-by-Design

Guardrails before any action or external call—policies are enforced at the system level, not left to human discretion.

Least-Privilege Access

RBAC/ABAC, row/column filters, purpose-bound tokens—users see only what they need for their specific role and context.

Proof, Not Promises

End-to-end audit trail with human override and justification—every decision is traceable and explainable.

How It Works

1

Identity

SAML/OIDC authentication with SSO integration

2

Contextual Access

RBAC/ABAC with dynamic permissions

3

Policy Engine

Allow/deny decisions with clear reasoning

4

Data Protection

PII redaction, hashing, and masking

5

Model Governance

Tool/model controls with rate limits

6

Audit & Override

Signed logs, approvals, and replay

Key Capabilities

SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM provisioning

RBAC/ABAC + row/column-level security

Data residency selection (UK/EU/Middle East)

PII/PHI detection & redaction (regex + ML)

Policy engine with custom rules

Guarded actions w/ approvals & SLAs

Decision traceability (inputs, outputs, context)

Immutable audit logs, SIEM export

Key management via KMS/HSM

Model catalog & safety notes

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you block low-confidence answers?

Yes—policies can require confidence thresholds and citations. Any AI output below the defined threshold is automatically blocked, with options for human review and override when justified.

Who can override policy decisions?

Only users with specific approval roles can override blocked actions. Every override requires a written justification and is logged with full context, creating an immutable audit trail for compliance reviews.

What deployment options are available?

Cloud deployment with data residency controls, VPC peering for hybrid setups, or fully on-premises installation. All options maintain the same security standards and policy enforcement capabilities.
