Security
SOC2 in the Loop

Compliance is often seen as a velocity blocker in software development. However, by embedding SOC2 controls directly into the inference pipeline, we've managed to automate 90% of our audit evidence collection, turning security into an enabler rather than a gatekeeper.
Zero Retention Architecture
The biggest risk in AI deployment is data leakage. Standard model providers often log requests for 30 days for "abuse monitoring," creating a massive liability surface area for enterprise data. For highly regulated industries, this is unacceptable.
EON's "Zero Retention" mode processes data entirely in volatile memory. From the moment a request hits our load balancer to the moment the response is streamed back, the data exists only in RAM. Once the inference is complete, the memory tensors are cryptographically wiped, ensuring that no trace of the customer's proprietary data remains on our physical infrastructure.
Audit Trails without Persistence
We solved the paradox of auditing without storage by logging metadata rather than payloads. We record who made the request, when it happened, and the cryptographic hash of the prompt, but never the prompt itself. This allows us to satisfy strict audit requirements for access control and usage monitoring without ever creating a honeypot of sensitive corporate secrets.
Conclusion
Security isn't a wrapper you add at the end; it's the substrate. If you can't prove mathematically where the data went—and more importantly, where it didn't go you cannot use the model in production.
