Security

Your data stays yours.

Sediment runs on a machine dedicated to your company and never sends your data to an outside model provider.

What's true today

  • No outside calls

    Sediment 1 runs entirely on your dedicated machine. It makes zero outbound calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, or anyone else. Block all outbound traffic at your firewall and it still runs.

  • One company per machine

    Your records, and everything built from them, live only in your deployment and are deleted with it. Nothing is pooled or reused for another company.

  • An audit log you can read

    Every question, answer, source, and user is written to an append-only log you can export at any time. The application never edits or deletes it.

  • Access by person

    Each user sees only what they are scoped to. Someone on one project can't read another.

  • Files stay put

    Files attached to a conversation stay in that conversation, are never indexed, and can be deleted at any time.

  • Encrypted at rest

    Your data is encrypted at rest on the machine's disks.

What we sign

  • Your NDA or ours.
  • A data processing agreement.
  • A no-reuse clause: your data and anything built from it is used for you only.
  • Outputs belong to you.
  • When we part ways, a deletion certificate, with the audit export as proof of what was accessed.
