Trust & Security
Tellodb is built with security and privacy as first principles. SOC 2 compliant, GDPR ready, and fully auditable.
Security by Design
Tellodb is built from the ground up with security as a core requirement. The core engine is a single Rust binary with zero runtime dependencies — no npm, no pip, no system libraries. This dramatically reduces the attack surface compared to languages like Python or Node.js.
All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). API keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes and compared using constant-time comparison to prevent timing side-channel attacks.
Encryption
AES-256
At rest. TLS 1.3 in transit.
Auth
SHA-256
API keys hashed. Constant-time comparison.
Runtime Deps
0
Single Rust binary. No npm/pip/system deps.
Auth Model
RLS + Clusters
Row-Level Security + namespace isolation.
Infrastructure & Isolation
- Multi-tenant isolation: every API key is scoped to a cluster_id. Data is partitioned at the database level using RLS policies.
- Platform proxy: the Qwik frontend authenticates all requests and prefixes entity_id with the user's namespace. The Rust engine never sees raw user IDs from other tenants.
- Vercel Edge + Supabase: both platforms are SOC 2 certified. Our dependency on their infrastructure means inheriting their security posture.
- Self-hosting option: for organizations requiring full control, the core engine runs as a standalone binary with no external dependencies and no telemetry.
- No data sharing: we never use customer data for training, benchmarking, or product improvement without explicit opt-in.
