Security & Compliance

Security is how we built it,
not what we added

Every agent action, every data transformation, every decision is governed. Protection runs at every layer — from network to AI reasoning.

Four layers of protection

Sensitive data protection

Sensitive information is automatically detected and masked in agent reasoning traces before it reaches storage. Credit cards, SSNs, API keys, tokens, and other credential patterns are recognized and redacted in real time — so secrets never persist in logs or agent memory.

AI agent governance

AI agents can only access tools that are explicitly granted in the workflow definition. There is no tool discovery, no privilege escalation, and no way for an agent to exceed its permissions. If an agent attempts an unauthorized action, the system rejects it immediately.

Threat defense

Every input — from users and from AI agents — is scored against known attack patterns including prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, and adversarial inputs. High-risk inputs trigger an immediate halt with full logging for investigation.

Network isolation

Agents cannot access internal IP ranges, cloud metadata services, or unauthorized endpoints. DNS pre-resolution and egress filtering ensure your agents only communicate with approved destinations. Deploy in your own VPC for complete network sovereignty.

Compliance-ready by default

Every capability your security and compliance team needs is built in from day one — not bolted on after the fact.

Full audit trails

Every step logged with timestamps and decision context. Trace any outcome back to its origin.

Automatic PII redaction

Credentials and sensitive patterns are detected and masked in agent traces and reasoning logs before storage.

Private deployment

Data stays in your infrastructure. Deploy on your own cloud or on-premises with full control.

Role-based access

API keys scoped by permission level. Teams see only what they need to see.

Built for regulated industries

Hyphen is designed for teams in finance, healthcare, insurance, and government — where data sovereignty and auditability are requirements, not features. Deploy on your own infrastructure with full control over encryption, network access, and data retention.
