CertentIQ security controls

A scoped inventory of implemented controls, the repository evidence available for review, and the deployment conditions that remain outside those tests.

Implementation inventoryEvidence boundariesReference mappingsExternal assessment pending

Implemented controls and their boundaries

The inventory distinguishes code-level implementation from deployment assurance. A repository test can show that a control behaves as expected in its tested conditions; it cannot establish that every production path, configuration, or operator process is covered.

Control areaRepository implementationReviewable evidenceScope boundary

Identity and tokens

RS256 token signing, issuer and audience checks, scoped actions, JWKS publication, and key rotation support.

Authentication, key-manager, scope, and gateway-route regression tests.

Production key custody, identity proofing, and operational rotation procedures require deployment evidence.

Sessions and administration

Protected user routes, secure session handling, revocation checks, and local-only static administration by default.

Session-cookie, protected-route, proxy-boundary, and admin-access tests.

Reverse-proxy configuration, operator access, device security, and incident response are deployment responsibilities.

Abuse controls

Actor-aware rate limiting separates public browsing, authentication, registration, and evaluation workloads.

Rate-limit unit and route tests for configured application buckets.

Capacity, distributed enforcement, denial-of-service resilience, and upstream filtering are not proven by application tests.

Tool and path controls

Canonical path containment, constrained tool execution, task fixtures, and sandbox policy checks.

Traversal, sandbox, task, and external-tool protocol tests.

Repository controls do not by themselves prove operating-system, container, tenant, or infrastructure isolation.

Outbound access

Configured egress policy, destination checks, and controlled external-service use in supported execution paths.

Egress, provider-adapter, and connector-policy regression tests.

Network-layer enforcement depends on the deployed proxy, firewall, DNS, credentials, and complete routing coverage.

Supply-chain review

Dependency metadata, vulnerability lookup support, component inventory, and reproducible evidence artifacts.

SBOM, dependency-policy, reproducibility, and artifact-integrity checks.

Scanner availability, source provenance, build infrastructure, transitive risks, and remediation remain operational concerns.

Audit integrity

Structured audit events, integrity-chain validation, fail-closed error paths, and signed evidence contracts.

Audit-chain, evidence-contract, signature, and independent-verifier tests.

Integrity checks detect defined changes; they do not provide immutable storage, universal non-repudiation, or complete event coverage.

Browser delivery

Content security policy, security headers, constrained static routing, protected pages, and withdrawn-claim handling.

Header, static-page, injection-sink, and public-claim regression tests.

These controls cover the delivered web surface, not client devices, extensions, upstream compromise, or every browser behavior.

Guidance themes, not conformity claims

The references below help engineers organise review questions. They are not a control-by-control assessment, certification, accreditation, or conclusion that CertentIQ or a deployment satisfies the named framework.

NIST SP 800-207

Identity-aware access, least privilege, explicit trust decisions, and policy enforcement are useful review themes for gateway and runtime boundaries.

NIST SSDF

Version control, dependency review, secure development evidence, change governance, and vulnerability response inform repository practices.

OWASP ASVS

Authentication, session management, access control, input handling, logging, and configuration themes inform web and API review.

OWASP LLM guidance

Prompt injection, sensitive-data exposure, excessive agency, supply-chain risk, and tool misuse inform selected adversarial tasks.

SLSA and CISA guidance

Build provenance, component inventories, dependency integrity, and release controls inform supply-chain evidence design.

Three different questions

Security language becomes misleading when implementation, deployment, and independent assessment are collapsed into one status. CertentIQ reports them separately.

Available

Repository evidence

Source code, contracts, configuration defaults, tests, generated artifacts, and commit history for the reviewed revision.

Deployment-specific

Operational evidence

Topology, secrets custody, network enforcement, monitoring, access reviews, backups, incident response, and retained logs.

Not completed

Independent assurance

External architecture review, threat modelling, penetration testing, conformity assessment, remediation, and retest.

What this page does not establish

Only qualified, scoped review can support stronger conclusions.

  • No independent security assessment or accreditation is represented.
  • No legal-compliance conclusion is made for the EU AI Act, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, CRA, or another regime.
  • No claim is made that all protected effects, tools, networks, or production paths are covered.
  • No guarantee is made against bypass, compromise, data loss, service interruption, or future vulnerabilities.
  • Material changes to code, configuration, infrastructure, models, providers, or integrations require renewed review.
