Commitments, not certifications

This page states what Hecato AI will contractually commit to. It does not claim third-party attestations we do not yet hold.

Posture
Data residency
Hosting region agreed at deployment, against the restrictions that flow down your main contract.
Deployment model
Available inside your own environment where data classification prohibits an external processor.
Access
Permissioned by role and by project. Teams see what their role allows and nothing else.
Training
Project data is not used to train models for other customers.
Audit
Output is source linked, so every figure traces to the document, revision and clause it came from.
Retention
Retention period and deletion on exit are set in the agreement rather than assumed.

Flow-down restrictions

On defence and government adjacent projects, obligations arrive through the main contract rather than through your own policies. They commonly limit which sub-processors may touch project data, where that data may be hosted, and who may be granted access.

Those constraints are treated as inputs to deployment rather than exceptions to it. Where an external processor is not permitted, Hecato is deployed inside your environment. Where it is, hosting region and sub-processor list are agreed in writing before any record is shared.

What we will not claim

Hecato AI holds no security certification at the time of writing. When an audit is complete the report will be named here and made available under NDA. Until then, treat any assurance on this page as a contractual commitment we will make in writing rather than as a third party attestation.

We would rather lose a procurement round on a missing certificate than pass one on a claim that does not survive diligence.
