Controlled pilot posture
Verela is built for sensitive institutional workflows, but it does not claim certifications, regulatory approval, or production readiness that has not been independently earned.Trust starts with clear boundaries.
Security model
Identity evidence receives the highest protection. Operational telemetry uses safe identifiers and allowlisted metadata only.Controls follow the data and the decision
Six operating controls
- Institution isolationWorkOS identity, server-resolved organization membership, role checks, and tenant-scoped data access on every sensitive request.
- Evidence protectionPrivate checksummed uploads, encryption-capable object storage, progressive collection, and no raw evidence in application logs.
- Credential boundariesHigh-entropy applicant links, hashed API keys, explicit scopes, short validity, revocation, and redaction from URLs and artifacts.
- Reconstructable decisionsVersioned policy, normalized checks, actor history, request IDs, and immutable decision events preserve accountability.
- Retention and recoveryConfigurable evidence deletion, legal-hold controls, separate metadata history, and production restore testing before activation.
- Operational securitySeparate environments, bounded service access, encrypted backups, dependency scanning, secret scanning, and compiled-artifact inspection.
What remains gated
Production identity or credit data, a real verification provider, BIC/BRH connectivity, official registry claims, biometric or credit model use, and each additional country require named contracts, qualified legal review, institution approval, security sign-off, and jurisdiction-specific authorization.Security documentation is reviewed with a prospective institution before any production-data decision.
