Needs

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation. We launched a trust portal to speed up reviews, but keeping attestations and documents current still takes manual effort.

Today: gated trust portal publishing audit reports and test results, with certifications added over time · Urgency: this year

Guardrails for AI agents and LLM apps. Customers build AI apps on our service and want assurances about data handling and explainability for their models.

Today: explainability statements on its security page, with no runtime agent controls described · Urgency: later

Logs & metrics at controlled cost. Our managed cloud produces a lot of telemetry, and observability costs rise faster than customer usage.

Today: telemetry for managed clusters across tiers handled by internal platform engineers · Urgency: later
