Security & PrivacyControls, audits, and least-privilege defaults
Security and privacy you can operationalize
Upcube is built to support safe deployment: strong access controls, scoped tooling, auditability, and privacy-minded data handling. This page outlines the controls we prioritize and the baseline we recommend for real-world use.

Core principles
The security posture we optimize for: practical controls, measurable checks, and reliable incident response.
Secure by design
- Defense-in-depth across app, infra, and model integrations.
- Threat modeling for new surfaces (agents, tools, connectors).
- Least-privilege by default for actions and data access.
Strong access controls
- Role-based access control (RBAC) and scoped permissions.
- Audit logs for admin actions, config changes, and tool calls.
- Rate limits and allow/deny lists for tool and web access.
Privacy-first handling
- Data minimization, scoped retention, and purpose limitation.
- Separation of concerns with tenant isolation where applicable.
- User controls for visibility and safer defaults for sensitive topics.
Controls that matter
This is the stuff you actually use in production: policy boundaries, visibility, permissions, and fast containment when the world gets messy.
Customer controls
Practical defaults you can enforce and audit.
- Workspace / tenant policiesEnforce allowed tools, connectors, and content boundaries.
- Visibility controlsWhere feasible: sources, citations, and activity summaries.
- Safer-mode togglesExtra friction and warnings for sensitive categories.
Monitoring & incident response
Practical defaults you can enforce and audit.
- Telemetry + alertingAnomaly detection and abuse signals.
- Triage SLAsSeverity-based on-call and escalation paths.
- ContainmentScoped rollbacks, throttles, and kill-switches.
- PostmortemsBlameless reviews with tracked remediations.
Governance & compliance support
Practical defaults you can enforce and audit.
- Security reviewsGated launches for risky capabilities.
- Data governanceLeast privilege + logged elevations.
- Compliance supportDPA on request; aligned privacy workflows.
Recommended admin baseline
If you do nothing else, do these first.
- Enable SSO (if available) and enforce MFA for admins.
- Lock down tool access: start with allow-lists, expand gradually.
- Turn on audit logs and review them during onboarding.
- Use scoped API keys and rotate on a schedule or after incidents.
- Set retention to the minimum that supports your workflow.
- Create an incident channel + runbook for escalation and comms.
Operational posture
How we think about security in real deployments.
Data protection
- Encrypt in transit and at rest where applicable.
- Minimize stored content; limit logs to what you need.
- Separate customer content from system telemetry.
Tooling safety
- Explicit opt-in for tool calls and external side effects.
- Hard boundaries for high-risk actions (payments, deletion).
- Domain allow/deny lists for web-connected tools.
Evaluation & drift control
- Regression suites for jailbreaks, leakage, and prompt injection.
- Shadow launches for risky changes with monitoring gates.
- Continuous re-evals when models, tools, or policies change.
FAQ
Do you train on my content?
Upcube is designed to support privacy-preserving operation. For enterprise use, we aim for clear controls around retention, access, and isolation. If you need a specific data-handling posture, treat it as a contract requirement and validate it in evaluation.
What happens when something goes wrong?
We treat incidents like engineering problems: detect → triage → contain → remediate → learn. We prioritize fast containment (rate limits, scoped disables) and then publish tracked fixes and evaluation updates.
How do you handle tool-call risk?
Tool calls are gated by policy, permissions, and scope. We recommend least-privilege defaults, explicit opt-in for side effects, and audit logs for every external action path.
