You stay in control
Scrydon is built so that security is the default, not an add-on. Every external request crosses five gates before it reaches any service, the platform ships fail-closed, and your data, keys and AI stay inside your perimeter.
Fail-closed by default
If a check cannot be satisfied, access is denied. The secure outcome is the standard outcome.
Your keys, your perimeter
LOCAL, BYOK and HYOK key strategies keep encryption — and trust — on your side.
Provable & auditable
Immutable audit and framework evidence packs make control demonstrable, not just claimed.
Five gates, then fail-closed
Defence-in-depth is not a slogan here. Every external request crosses five independent gates before it ever reaches a service. Each gate is designed to deny by default, so a misconfiguration or a missing grant blocks access rather than quietly granting it.
- 1
Ingress hardening
Forged identity headers are stripped at the edge. Internal identity is never trusted from the outside; it is established inside the perimeter.
- 2
Authorisation
A single policy decision point evaluates every request as policy-as-code (Rego) across both the application and data planes.
- 3
mTLS service mesh
Services authenticate one another with mutual TLS. No shared bearer tokens, no implicit trust between workloads.
- 4
Secrets management
Credentials are encrypted at rest, scoped per grant and redacted in logs. A secret read without a valid grant fails outright.
- 5
DLP & audit logging
Outputs pass through the guardrails engine and every privileged operation is written to an immutable, queryable audit trail.
Fail-closed by default. Invalid mTLS identities are rejected, failed authorisation checks deny access, and workflows run under server-issued grants — never under user-supplied identities.
The guardrails engine
Data loss prevention is the fifth gate. Before any model output leaves the platform it passes through the DLP guardrails engine, which scans for personally identifiable information, flags potential hallucinations and validates against regex patterns and JSON schemas. What does not pass does not leave.
Zero-trust identity
Access is governed by a single policy decision point that evaluates every request as policy-as-code. Identity is layered into three tiers — organisation roles, workspace membership and team grants — and integrates with your existing SSO and SCIM so joiners, movers and leavers are handled automatically.

Encryption on your terms
You choose how far trust extends. Scrydon supports three key strategies, and external AI vendors are always opt-in — the platform can run air-gapped from public cloud, entirely inside your perimeter, until you decide otherwise.
LOCAL
Platform-managed encryption. Credentials are encrypted at rest and redacted from every log line — the fastest path to a hardened default.
BYOK — bring your own key
You supply the encryption keys. Scrydon uses them to protect your data while you retain ownership and the ability to revoke.
HYOK — hold your own key
Keys never leave your custody. The platform operates against keys you hold, keeping ultimate control firmly on your side of the line.
External AI is opt-in. No request leaves for a third-party model unless you have explicitly allowed it, so sovereignty is a setting you control rather than a promise you have to trust.
An immutable record
Every privileged operation emits an immutable, queryable audit entry — capturing the actor, their IP address and the action taken, retained according to your policy. Because the trail is append-only, the record of what happened cannot be quietly rewritten, giving you and your auditors a single, trustworthy source of truth.
Accountability is governed end-to-end by AI Governance, which ties policy, identity and audit into one control plane.
Controls that map to the frameworks you answer to
Scrydon's controls are designed to map to and support the regulatory and assurance frameworks European organisations face. The platform produces framework evidence packs so you can demonstrate control during your own audits and assessments rather than reconstructing it after the fact.
See the full compliance overview for the detail behind each mapping. Scrydon describes how its controls support these frameworks and produces evidence packs; it does not claim formal certification on your behalf.
