Least privilege
People and integrations receive only the access required for the approved role and workflow.
Security + trust
Security is an operating discipline, not a logo in the footer.
ARC designs permissions, data flow, AI safeguards, integrations, retention, and recovery around the actual risk and governance requirements of each organization.

Security principles
Controls designed around real operations.
Specific controls, providers, data locations, contractual terms, and compliance requirements are confirmed during implementation.
Human review
Sensitive communication, AI output, and consequential decisions remain behind explicit review steps.
Traceable change
Important content, configuration, and publishing actions should retain version and accountability context.
Data boundaries
Sources of truth, retention, exports, and integration ownership are defined before implementation.
Resilient delivery
Critical submissions save before external delivery and retain retry or review status if a connector fails.
Evidence over badges
ARC will publish certifications and audit claims only after they are independently complete and verifiable.
Enterprise security scope
Make requirements explicit before the architecture is approved.
- Identity, SSO, roles, and approval boundaries
- Data classification, migration, retention, and deletion
- Integration ownership, secrets, retries, and reconciliation
- AI knowledge sources, review, logging, and prohibited uses
- Incident response, backup, recovery, and vendor responsibilities
- Contractual, municipal, network, and funder requirements
