Security & Data Privacy White Paper
At Patterns, security and data privacy are at the core of everything we build. Our mission is to help organizations discover and optimize their internal processes — without ever compromising on data integrity, confidentiality, or control.
Data Privacy by Design
Your organization's data never leaves your network. All identifiable information is fully anonymized before processing.
- User Personal Data is Fully Anonymized
- Hosted Securely in Your Own Environment
- No external data transfer, completely locking out external threats
Secure AI Processing
AI-powered discovery engine operates in secure enclaves that prevent external or internal data exposure.
- Confidential VMs & AI Models in secure enclaves
- TLS 1.3 Encryption at rest and in transit
- System administrators cannot access underlying memory or data
Authentication & Access Control
Comprehensive identity management with granular access controls and internal threat mitigation.
- Single Sign-On (SSO) integration
- Granular Access Controls for authorized users only
- Access to sensitive data is logged and role-limited
Full Auditability
Every access to personal data is monitored, timestamped, and auditable with real-time alerts.
- Audit Logs track who, what, and when for all interactions
- Administrator Alerts for suspicious activity
- Immediate email notifications for confirmed breaches
Data Minimization & Retention
Built on data minimization principles—we only retain what's absolutely necessary to deliver value.
- Minimal Retention of only essential behavioral data
- Data Ownership remains with you at all times
- You can purge all data at any time
Compliance & Regulatory Alignment
Architecture designed to meet SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and ISO 27001 frameworks.
- SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and ISO 27001 Alignment (Pending certification)
- Data Residency Control within your chosen region
- Meets local regulatory and compliance requirements
Network & Infrastructure Security
Private network isolation with strict controls and zero implicit trust between components.
- Private Network Isolation in isolated subnets (no public IPs)
- Firewalls & Security Groups with strict ingress/egress controls
- Every connection authenticated and authorized
Application & API Security
All APIs are authenticated and rate-limited with continuous vulnerability scanning.
- Secure API Gateway with signed token authentication
- Dependency Scanning & Code Integrity via GitHub Dependabot
- Continuous scanning for vulnerabilities in open-source dependencies
Endpoint & Client Security
AES-256 encryption for temporary cache with verified automatic updates.
- Data Encryption on Device using AES-256
- Temporary local cache automatically deleted after upload
- Automatic Updates with integrity verification before installation
Monitoring & Incident Response
Real-time threat monitoring with defined incident response protocols.
- Real-Time Threat Monitoring of network traffic and access patterns
- Incident Response Playbook with step-by-step protocols
- Continuous anomaly detection and response
11. Governance & Internal Controls
Additional security measures ensuring comprehensive protection
Least Privilege Principle
Access granted strictly on 'need-to-know' and 'need-to-do' basis
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Required for all admin and privileged accounts
Change Management & Version Control
All configuration changes are tracked, reviewed, and auditable
Security FAQ
Is my data ever processed in the cloud?
No. All data processing happens within your own network environment. Patterns operates entirely within your secure infrastructure, ensuring no external data transfer.
How do you ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR?
Our privacy-first architecture is designed to align with GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 requirements. Data remains within your chosen region, all personal information is anonymized, and you maintain complete control over data retention and deletion.
What happens if there's a security incident?
We have comprehensive incident response playbooks with immediate notification protocols. Your designated administrators receive real-time alerts for any anomalies, and our monitoring systems provide complete audit trails for forensic analysis.
Can individual users be identified from the collected data?
No. All identifiable information is removed or obfuscated before processing. Our anonymization process ensures that no individual user can be traced from the behavioral and workflow data we analyze.
Your Data, Your Network, Your Control
Patterns ensures your organization stays compliant, your employees stay protected, and your data stays private.
