ZeroDriveX // Security Operations

What this page is

ZeroDriveX security exists to keep the platform trustworthy under real-world conditions: hostile inputs, compromised sessions, and unpredictable runtime behavior. Our agent system is built to enforce guardrails by design — not by policy text.

Note: no system can promise “perfect” compliance in all scenarios. Our goal is enforceable controls, measurable evidence, and rapid containment when assumptions fail.

Core security axioms

• Trust is minimized: default-deny access patterns; capabilities are explicitly granted.
• Guardrails are executable: constraints are enforced by code paths and allowlists, not “best effort.”
• Runtime is verifiable: agent execution is designed to be attestable and reviewable.
• Revocation is immediate: sessions and tokens must be kill-switchable fast.
• Evidence is mandatory: security-critical actions produce audit events suitable for review.

TEE-backed agent execution

The agent runtime is designed to support execution inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) so that sensitive computation can run with stronger isolation guarantees and measurable integrity.

• Isolation: agent workloads are separated to reduce cross-agent leakage and lateral movement.
• Remote attestation: deployments can verify the runtime identity/configuration before enabling sensitive operations.
• Sealed secrets: sensitive values are intended to be accessible only to verified runtimes and never exposed to clients.
• Tamper resistance: the system is designed so integrity checks are first-class, not optional.

Alignment guardrails

“Alignment” in ZeroDriveX means agents operate inside explicit boundaries: what they are allowed to do, what they must never do, and what must be logged. Guardrails are implemented as enforced runtime constraints.

• Capability allowlists: agents can only call explicitly permitted tools/routes/functions.
• Policy gates: sensitive operations require additional checks (role, scope, session validity, context).
• Instruction-set integrity: authorized instruction sets are signed/validated and treated as controlled inputs.
• Containment-by-default: when signals are missing or invalid, the system rejects or quarantines actions.
• Audit-first actions: privileged operations are logged with enough detail to reconstruct “who did what and why.”

Sessions, tokens, and revocation

ZeroDriveX is built to support verifiable sessions and fast revocation across distributed services.

• Access tokens: short-lived JWTs carry a unique JTI (token ID) to support traceability and revocation.
• Refresh continuity: refresh tokens are stored using HttpOnly cookies and exchanged for new access tokens.
• Redis-backed revocation: revoked JTIs can be denied quickly using a revocation set with TTL aligned to token expiry.
• Rate limiting: abusive patterns are throttled at the API layer to reduce brute-force and automation abuse.
• Admin enforcement: administrative APIs require validated session cookies and reject unauthenticated access by default.

Data protection

• Encryption in transit: TLS with strict transport policies.
• Encryption at rest: encrypted storage for databases and persisted objects.
• Least data principle: retention and exposure are minimized; internal-only data stays internal.
• Secrets handling: privileged secrets remain server-side; client code never receives admin secrets.

Monitoring and audit evidence

Security controls must produce evidence. ZeroDriveX logs security-relevant events to support review, detection, and incident response.

• Authentication and admin actions emit structured audit logs.
• Guardrail decisions and denials can be logged for later verification.
• Token/session events (issue, refresh, revoke) are traceable by identifiers (e.g., JTI).

Compliance roadmap

ZeroDriveX is designed for compliance readiness across:

• SOC 2 (Security, Availability, Confidentiality)
• ISO 27001 (ISMS)
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
• GDPR & CCPA alignment
