LYVATE

Step 04

Security & Compliance

Least privilege, audit logs, dependency review, secure SDLC, and readiness for SOC 2, ISO, GDPR, and HIPAA contexts.

Why this matters

Security decided at the start is a design input that costs a conversation. Retrofitted, it is an expensive rewrite that tends to arrive at the least convenient moment — usually when a customer, auditor or regulator asks a question the system cannot answer about its own behavior. This matters more for AI work than for conventional software, because a system whose output depends on data and models needs to be able to reconstruct why it did what it did on a particular day for a particular customer.

What this includes

  • Apply least-privilege access, secrets hygiene, code review, dependency scanning, and incident paths.
  • Design AI systems with evaluations, audit logs, access controls, and human review from the outset.
  • Prepare evidence for SOC 2, ISO, GDPR, HIPAA, and client-specific controls where relevant.
  • Agree what data each workflow may see before designing how it works.

What you receive

  • Data boundary and access model per workflow
  • Audit evidence captured as the system runs
  • Dependency and secrets scanning in the pipeline
  • Control documentation your auditors can read

In practice

An honest note on compliance claims

LYVATE can build to the controls your auditors and compliance function specify, and can prepare the evidence a framework expects. What we cannot do is certify you, and no engineering firm can. Certification depends on your organization, your jurisdiction and an assessor's judgment. Where a page on this site mentions SOC 2, ISO, GDPR or HIPAA, it means readiness work and control implementation — never that a certification has been obtained on your behalf.

Described as how LYVATE runs this work. It is not an account of a completed client engagement.

Security & Compliance

Start with the control objective you have to meet.

Tell us which framework applies and what evidence you need to produce. We will design delivery toward those objectives — LYVATE helps prepare evidence, it does not certify anyone.
