Security

Secure the path that authorizes execution.

TracePoint applies policy before execution, binds authorization to one exact action, rejects invalid state, and connects the resulting evidence and recovery context.

Controls verified in the local product

Controls exercised through Operational Change Authorization.

The local product verifies these controls before applying a bounded operational change. Enterprise identity, durable persistence, tenant isolation, external connectors, and production operations require deployment-specific implementation and verification.

CONTROL / 01

Server side policy evaluation

Evaluates authority and policy on the server before an authorization can be issued.

CONTROL / 02

Action bound authorization

Binds permission to the actor, target, operation, purpose, policy version, and action fingerprint.

CONTROL / 03

Single use enforcement

Consumes an authorization after its permitted execution to prevent replay.

CONTROL / 04

Revocation and expiry

Refuses authorization that has been withdrawn or has passed its validity window.

CONTROL / 05

Idempotency and replay rejection

Returns the original decision for duplicate evaluation and rejects repeated execution.

CONTROL / 06

Payload mismatch rejection

Compares the execution payload with the authorized action fingerprint before side effects.

CONTROL / 07

Ordered evidence

Keeps decision events and referenced versions connected in sequence.

CONTROL / 08

Receipt and recovery context

Connects the execution result, receipt, and available remediation path to the decision.

Secure decision path

Security follows the decision from request to evidence.

Each stage narrows the authority to proceed and preserves the basis for the next control.

STAGE 01
Request boundary

Validate the actor reference and proposed action contract.

Validate
STAGE 02
Policy boundary

Evaluate purpose, scope, eligibility, limits, authority validity, and pinned policy version.

Evaluate
STAGE 03
Human boundary

Route defined exceptions to an accountable reviewer.

Review
STAGE 04
Execution boundary

Require a valid, matching, active, single use authorization.

Enforce
STAGE 05
Evidence boundary

Connect the decision, authorization, execution, receipt, and recovery context.

Record

The public product environment uses local identity and process memory. Enterprise identity, durable storage, tenant controls, and external enforcement are deployment specific.

Deployment requirements

External enforcement depends on a verified implementation boundary.

Each deployment defines identity, access, durability, target authentication, monitoring, recovery, and shared operational responsibility before an external system treats TracePoint as an authorization dependency.

01

Identity and access

Authenticated actors, reviewers, administrators, role enforcement, and revocation.

02

Durability and recovery

Transactional persistence, idempotency retention, backups, and receipt reconciliation.

03

Platform security

Transport security, encryption, secrets management, monitoring, and incident response.

04

Shared responsibility

Explicit customer, connector, hosting, operations, and availability responsibilities.
