Enterprise Security: Architecture, Compliance & Protection
How MuVeraAI Safeguards Your Construction Data with Defense-in-Depth Security
Version: 1.0 Published: January 2026 Classification: Public Document Type: Technical Whitepaper
Executive Summary
The Stakes
Construction data has become a high-value target. Engineering decisions documented in your BIM models, cost databases, and project schedules directly impact public safety, critical infrastructure, and competitive positioning. A single breach can expose bid strategies worth millions, compromise safety-critical specifications, or leak proprietary construction methods that took decades to develop. Meanwhile, regulatory requirements continue to intensify: federal construction projects demand FedRAMP authorization, enterprise clients require SOC 2 attestation, and international operations must navigate GDPR and regional privacy laws.
Our Approach
MuVeraAI implements a zero-trust architecture with defense-in-depth security at every layer. We assume breach and design accordingly: every request is authenticated, every service-to-service communication is encrypted with mutual TLS, and every data access is logged for audit. Our enterprise-grade identity management supports SAML SSO integration with major identity providers, LDAP/Active Directory synchronization, and granular role-based access control designed specifically for construction workflows. We are actively pursuing FedRAMP Moderate authorization (System Security Plan complete), with SOC 2 Type II certification underway.
Key Differentiators
- mTLS for all service communication: Istio service mesh enforces mutual TLS between every microservice
- Centralized secrets management: HashiCorp Vault provides dynamic credentials with automatic rotation
- FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptography: AWS KMS Level 3 validation with AES-256-GCM encryption
- Comprehensive audit trails: Immutable logging with 7+ year retention and tamper-evident storage
- 24/7 security monitoring: Automated threat detection with defined response SLAs
- Construction-aware security: Multi-tenant isolation designed for competing firms sharing the same platform
Bottom Line
Security is not a feature we add; it is the foundation we build on. MuVeraAI is designed for enterprises that cannot afford compromise, with architecture, processes, and compliance certifications that meet the most demanding requirements in the construction industry.

1. Security Philosophy
1.1 Defense in Depth
Modern security cannot rely on a single perimeter. MuVeraAI implements defense in depth: multiple overlapping layers of security controls where each layer provides protection independent of the others. If an attacker breaches one layer, subsequent layers continue to protect sensitive data and operations.
This approach eliminates single points of failure and ensures that security degrades gracefully rather than catastrophically. Every layer is instrumented for detection, so even if an attacker progresses through multiple controls, security teams receive alerts and can respond before damage occurs.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Key Principle: "We assume breach. Every layer is designed to contain and detect threats even if outer layers are compromised."
This architecture ensures that an attacker who compromises a single component cannot automatically access other systems. Network segmentation, service mesh authorization policies, and application-level access controls each provide independent barriers.
1.2 Zero-Trust Architecture
Traditional perimeter security assumes that traffic inside the corporate network is trustworthy. This model fails in modern environments where applications run in the cloud, employees work remotely, and attackers who breach the perimeter can move laterally with ease.
MuVeraAI implements zero-trust architecture based on three principles:
Never Trust, Always Verify: Every request must prove its identity and authorization, regardless of network location. A request from inside the VPC receives the same scrutiny as one from the public internet.
Least Privilege Access: Users and services receive only the minimum permissions required for their function. Default-deny policies mean that every allowed action must be explicitly granted.
Assume Breach: Security controls are designed assuming attackers are already inside. This drives investments in detection, segmentation, and containment rather than relying solely on prevention.
The zero-trust model is implemented through multiple mechanisms:
- Service-to-service authentication (mTLS): Every microservice must present a valid certificate to communicate, preventing unauthorized services from accessing APIs.
- Continuous session validation: User sessions are validated on every request, not just at login.
- Microsegmentation via Istio authorization policies: Network access is controlled at the service level with explicit allow rules.
- Deny-all default: New services and users have no access until explicitly granted.
ZERO-TRUST REQUEST FLOW
================================================================================
User Request
|
v
+------------------+
| API Gateway | <-- TLS termination, initial authentication
+------------------+
|
v
+------------------+
| Verify JWT | <-- Validate token signature, expiration, claims
+------------------+
|
v
+------------------+
| Check RBAC | <-- Does user have permission for this action?
+------------------+
|
v
+------------------+
| Validate mTLS | <-- Is the requesting service authorized?
+------------------+
|
v
+------------------+
| AuthZ Policy | <-- Istio authorization policy evaluation
+------------------+
|
v
+------------------+
| Execute Request | <-- Perform the requested operation
+------------------+
|
v
+------------------+
| Audit Log | <-- Record action for compliance/forensics
+------------------+
Every step in this flow is logged, creating a complete audit trail of who accessed what, when, and from where.
1.3 Security Principles for Construction
The construction industry presents unique security challenges that generic security frameworks do not address. MuVeraAI's security architecture incorporates construction-specific considerations:
Multi-Tenant Isolation for Competing Firms: Construction companies frequently compete on the same projects. When two general contractors bid on the same infrastructure project, their bid data, cost estimates, and proprietary methods must be absolutely isolated from each other, even though both firms use the same platform. MuVeraAI enforces tenant isolation at every layer: database rows are tagged with firm identifiers, queries are filtered at the ORM level, and separate encryption keys protect each tenant's data.
Protection of Bid and Cost Data Confidentiality: Bid pricing represents the synthesis of decades of experience, relationships with subcontractors, and competitive intelligence. A leak can eliminate competitive advantage overnight. Cost databases are encrypted at the application layer with tenant-specific keys, and access requires both authentication and explicit authorization for financial data.
Safety-Critical Decision Integrity: Engineering decisions made on the MuVeraAI platform affect public safety. Structural specifications, safety protocols, and inspection records must be tamper-evident. The platform maintains complete audit history for safety-critical records, with cryptographic verification preventing undetected modification.
Field Device and Mobile Security: Construction workers access systems from job sites using tablets, smartphones, and ruggedized devices. Security controls must work effectively on these endpoints without impeding productivity. Mobile sessions include device fingerprinting, offline capability with secure sync, and automatic session termination on device anomalies.
Third-Party Integration Security: Construction projects involve dozens of software systems: accounting, ERP, BIM tools, subcontractor portals, and owner systems. Each integration represents a potential attack vector. MuVeraAI validates all incoming data, uses OAuth with limited scopes for integrations, and monitors integration traffic for anomalies.
Regulatory Awareness: Federal construction projects require FedRAMP authorization. Critical infrastructure projects must align with NIST Cybersecurity Framework. International projects face GDPR and regional privacy requirements. MuVeraAI maintains compliance documentation and technical controls for all major regulatory frameworks.
2. Infrastructure Security
2.1 Cloud Architecture (AWS)
MuVeraAI runs on Amazon Web Services with architecture designed for security, compliance, and high availability. For customers with federal compliance requirements, deployment is available in AWS GovCloud regions that meet FedRAMP High baseline requirements.
The network architecture implements defense in depth through VPC isolation, subnet segmentation, and controlled access paths:
AWS INFRASTRUCTURE ARCHITECTURE
================================================================================
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| AWS GovCloud (us-gov-west-1) |
| |
| +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | VPC (10.0.0.0/16) | |
| | | |
| | PUBLIC SUBNETS (10.0.1.0/24, 10.0.2.0/24) | |
| | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | | - Application Load Balancer (TLS 1.3 termination) | |
| | | - NAT Gateways (controlled outbound traffic only) | |
| | | - Bastion hosts (SSH jump servers with MFA) | |
| | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | | | |
| | v | |
| | PRIVATE SUBNETS (10.0.10.0/24, 10.0.20.0/24) | |
| | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | | - EKS Kubernetes cluster (application workloads) | |
| | | - Istio service mesh (mTLS, authorization) | |
| | | - Worker nodes with no public IPs | |
| | | - Security groups: deny all except required traffic | |
| | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | | | |
| | v | |
| | ISOLATED SUBNETS (10.0.100.0/24, 10.0.200.0/24) | |
| | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | | - RDS Aurora PostgreSQL (encrypted, no internet access) | |
| | | - ElastiCache Redis (encrypted, in-transit encryption) | |
| | | - No NAT gateway access (completely air-gapped) | |
| | | - VPC endpoints for AWS API access | |
| | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | | |
| +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| |
| CROSS-CUTTING SERVICES: |
| - AWS KMS: Customer-managed encryption keys (FIPS 140-2 Level 3) |
| - AWS Secrets Manager: Credential storage with rotation |
| - AWS CloudTrail: API activity logging (tamper-proof) |
| - AWS GuardDuty: Threat detection with ML analysis |
| - AWS Config: Configuration compliance monitoring |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Key Architecture Decisions:
Multi-AZ Deployment: All critical components are deployed across multiple Availability Zones. Database replicas, load balancers, and application instances span AZs to survive data center failures.
VPC Endpoints for AWS Services: Traffic to AWS APIs (S3, KMS, Secrets Manager) stays within the AWS network via VPC endpoints, never traversing the public internet.
Transit Gateway for Multi-VPC: Production, staging, and development environments are isolated in separate VPCs connected through Transit Gateway with explicit routing rules.
No Public IPs on Application Nodes: All application workloads run in private subnets with no direct internet access. Outbound traffic flows through NAT gateways with logging.
2.2 Kubernetes Security
MuVeraAI runs on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with the managed control plane, eliminating the operational burden of managing Kubernetes masters while inheriting AWS's security controls for the control plane.
| Control | Implementation | |---------|----------------| | Pod Security | Pod Security Standards (PSS) Restricted profile enforced | | RBAC | Least privilege service accounts for each workload | | Network Policies | Calico CNI with default-deny and explicit allow rules | | Secrets | External Secrets Operator syncing from HashiCorp Vault | | Image Security | ECR scanning, signed images required, admission controller | | Runtime Security | Falco for runtime threat detection and behavioral monitoring |
Pod Security Standards: All pods must comply with the PSS Restricted profile, which prohibits running as root, requires read-only root filesystems, drops all Linux capabilities, and prevents privilege escalation. This limits the blast radius if an attacker compromises a container.
RBAC and Service Accounts: Each microservice runs under a dedicated Kubernetes service account with minimal permissions. Applications cannot access Kubernetes APIs unless explicitly required. Developers cannot directly access production clusters; all deployments go through GitOps pipelines.
Network Policies: By default, pods cannot communicate with any other pod. Explicit NetworkPolicy resources allow only the traffic required for application function. The backend API can receive traffic from the frontend, but the frontend cannot directly access the database.
Secret Management: Kubernetes Secrets are not used directly. Instead, External Secrets Operator synchronizes secrets from HashiCorp Vault into Kubernetes, with automatic rotation and audit logging. Secrets never appear in application manifests or Git repositories.
Image Security Pipeline:
- Developers push code to Git
- CI pipeline builds container image
- Trivy scans image for vulnerabilities (build fails on HIGH/CRITICAL)
- Image is signed with Cosign
- Admission controller validates signature before allowing deployment
- AWS ECR performs additional scanning
2.3 Service Mesh Security (Istio)
Istio service mesh provides critical security capabilities that would be difficult to implement consistently at the application level: mutual TLS for all service communication, fine-grained authorization policies, and observability for security monitoring.
Mutual TLS (mTLS): Every connection between services is encrypted and authenticated. When the backend API calls the scheduling agent, both services present certificates issued by Istio's certificate authority. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and ensures that only authorized services can communicate.
# Istio PeerAuthentication: Require mTLS for all traffic
apiVersion: security.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: PeerAuthentication
metadata:
name: default
namespace: muveraai
spec:
mtls:
mode: STRICT # All traffic must use mTLS
Authorization Policies: Istio enforces who can access what at the network level, independent of application code. A deny-all baseline ensures that any service not explicitly permitted cannot communicate:
# Deny-all baseline policy
apiVersion: security.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: AuthorizationPolicy
metadata:
name: deny-all
namespace: muveraai
spec:
{} # Empty spec = deny all traffic by default
---
# Explicit allow: Only frontend can access backend API
apiVersion: security.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: AuthorizationPolicy
metadata:
name: backend-api-policy
namespace: muveraai
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
component: backend-api
action: ALLOW
rules:
- from:
- source:
principals:
- "cluster.local/ns/muveraai/sa/frontend"
to:
- operation:
methods: ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"]
paths: ["/api/v1/*"]
Rate Limiting: Istio enforces rate limits per tenant and per endpoint, preventing resource exhaustion attacks and ensuring fair resource allocation in multi-tenant environments.
Circuit Breakers: Automatic circuit breaking prevents cascading failures when downstream services are unhealthy, maintaining system stability under adverse conditions.
2.4 DDoS Protection and WAF
Distributed denial-of-service attacks can overwhelm infrastructure, and web application attacks exploit vulnerabilities in HTTP handling. MuVeraAI deploys multiple layers of protection:
AWS Shield: All production workloads are protected by AWS Shield Standard, providing automatic DDoS mitigation for volumetric attacks at the network and transport layers. For customers requiring enhanced protection, Shield Advanced provides additional detection, 24/7 DDoS response team access, and cost protection for scaling during attacks.
AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall): WAF rules filter malicious traffic before it reaches application servers:
- OWASP Managed Rules: Protection against SQL injection, cross-site scripting, local file inclusion, and other OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
- Rate Limiting: Per-IP and per-tenant request limits prevent brute force and enumeration attacks
- Geo-Blocking (optional): Customers can restrict access to specific countries for compliance or security reasons
- Bot Protection: Distinguishes between legitimate automation and malicious bots
CloudFront CDN: Static assets are served from CloudFront edge locations, reducing origin server exposure. Edge locations absorb traffic spikes and provide an additional layer of DDoS protection.
Auto-Scaling: Application tiers auto-scale based on CPU, memory, and request metrics. This ensures legitimate traffic spikes (e.g., project deadline coordination) are handled while providing resilience against attacks that slip through other defenses.
3. Application Security
3.1 Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
Security is integrated into every phase of software development, from design through deployment and ongoing operations. This shift-left approach catches vulnerabilities early when they are cheapest to fix.
| Phase | Security Activities | Tools/Processes | |-------|---------------------|-----------------| | Design | Threat modeling, security requirements | STRIDE methodology, security champions | | Development | Secure coding standards, peer review | ESLint security rules, PR review checklist | | Build | Static analysis, dependency scanning | SonarQube SAST, Dependabot, Snyk | | Test | Dynamic testing, penetration testing | OWASP ZAP DAST, annual third-party pentest | | Deploy | Infrastructure as code review, signed artifacts | Terraform plan review, GitOps, Cosign | | Operate | Vulnerability management, patching | AWS Inspector, automated patching pipeline | | Monitor | Runtime threat detection, anomaly analysis | GuardDuty, application security logging |
Threat Modeling: Before significant features are developed, security engineers conduct threat modeling using the STRIDE methodology (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege). This identifies potential attack vectors and ensures security controls are designed in, not bolted on.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Every pull request triggers SonarQube analysis. Code with critical or high severity findings cannot be merged. Analysis includes detection of:
- SQL injection patterns
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) vectors
- Hardcoded secrets
- Insecure cryptographic usage
- Authentication and session management flaws
Dependency Scanning: Third-party libraries represent a significant attack surface. Dependabot and Snyk continuously monitor dependencies and automatically create pull requests when vulnerabilities are published. Critical vulnerabilities trigger alerts requiring immediate remediation.
Container Image Scanning: Trivy scans all container images during the build process. Images with high or critical vulnerabilities cannot be deployed to production. AWS ECR performs additional scanning and integrates findings with Security Hub.
3.2 Input Validation and Output Encoding
Input validation is the first line of defense against injection attacks. MuVeraAI validates all input server-side, regardless of any client-side validation, using a defense-in-depth approach.
Schema Validation: All API inputs are validated against Pydantic models that define expected types, formats, and constraints. Invalid input is rejected before reaching business logic:
# Example Pydantic model for input validation
class ProjectCreate(BaseModel):
name: str = Field(..., min_length=1, max_length=200)
description: Optional[str] = Field(None, max_length=5000)
budget: Decimal = Field(..., ge=0, decimal_places=2)
start_date: date
firm_id: UUID # Validated against user's authorized firms
@validator('name')
def sanitize_name(cls, v):
# Remove potentially dangerous characters
return bleach.clean(v, tags=[], strip=True)
Parameterized Queries: All database queries use SQLAlchemy ORM with parameterized queries. SQL is never constructed through string concatenation:
# Safe: Parameterized query via ORM
project = session.query(Project).filter(
Project.firm_id == current_user.firm_id,
Project.id == project_id
).first()
# Never: String concatenation (this pattern is prohibited)
# query = f"SELECT * FROM projects WHERE id = {project_id}"
Output Encoding: All output is properly encoded for the context (HTML, JSON, etc.) to prevent cross-site scripting attacks. The React frontend automatically escapes content, and server-side rendering uses contextual encoding.
Security Headers: All HTTP responses include security headers:
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: DENY
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()
3.3 API Security
MuVeraAI's REST API implements comprehensive security controls:
OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect: API authentication uses industry-standard OAuth 2.0 with OpenID Connect for identity. Access tokens have short expiration (15 minutes), and refresh tokens are rotated on each use.
JWT Validation: Every request includes a JWT in the Authorization header. The API validates:
- Token signature (RS256 with rotating keys)
- Expiration time (reject expired tokens)
- Issuer and audience claims (prevent token confusion)
- Required claims (user ID, tenant ID, permissions)
Rate Limiting: Rate limits protect against brute force, enumeration, and denial-of-service attacks:
| Limit Type | Threshold | Window | |------------|-----------|--------| | Per IP (unauthenticated) | 100 requests | 1 minute | | Per user (authenticated) | 1,000 requests | 1 minute | | Per tenant (aggregate) | 10,000 requests | 1 minute | | Sensitive endpoints (login, password reset) | 10 requests | 1 minute |
Webhook Security: Outbound webhooks include HMAC signatures allowing recipients to verify authenticity. Inbound webhooks from integration partners are validated using partner-specific verification (signature headers, shared secrets).
API Versioning: The API is versioned (v1, v2, etc.) allowing security patches to be deployed to new versions while maintaining backward compatibility. Deprecated versions receive security patches but not new features.
4. Identity and Access Management
4.1 Enterprise SSO (SAML 2.0)
MuVeraAI provides full SAML 2.0 implementation for enterprise single sign-on, allowing customers to use their existing identity provider and maintain centralized control over user access.
Supported Identity Providers:
| Identity Provider | Status | Notes | |-------------------|--------|-------| | Okta | Fully Supported | Pre-built integration available | | Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) | Fully Supported | Enterprise attribute mapping | | OneLogin | Fully Supported | Real-time provisioning | | Google Workspace | Fully Supported | SAML and OIDC options | | ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) | Fully Supported | On-premises IdP support | | Auth0 | Fully Supported | Universal login | | JumpCloud | Fully Supported | Cloud directory integration | | Keycloak | Fully Supported | Open-source IdP | | Generic SAML 2.0 | Fully Supported | Any compliant IdP |
SAML Integration Features:
SP-Initiated and IdP-Initiated Flows: Users can start authentication from MuVeraAI (SP-initiated) or from their identity provider portal (IdP-initiated).
Just-in-Time (JIT) Provisioning: New users are automatically created on first login based on SAML assertions, eliminating manual user provisioning.
Attribute Mapping: SAML assertions map to platform attributes:
| SAML Attribute | Platform Attribute | Description | |----------------|-------------------|-------------| | email | user.email | Primary identifier | | given_name | user.first_name | Display name | | family_name | user.last_name | Display name | | groups | user.roles | Role assignment | | department | user.department | Organizational unit | | employee_id | user.external_id | Integration reference |
Single Logout (SLO): When users log out of MuVeraAI, they are logged out of the identity provider (and vice versa), ensuring session termination is comprehensive.
Security Requirements:
- Signed assertions required (reject unsigned)
- Encrypted assertions supported (recommended)
- Assertion validity window: 5 minutes
- One-time assertion IDs (replay prevention)
Integration Endpoints:
GET /auth/saml/{firm_id}/metadata # SP metadata for IdP configuration
GET /auth/saml/{firm_id}/login # Initiate SAML authentication flow
POST /auth/saml/{firm_id}/acs # Assertion Consumer Service (receive assertions)
GET /auth/saml/{firm_id}/slo # Single Logout initiation
POST /auth/saml/{firm_id}/slo # Single Logout response
4.2 LDAP/Active Directory Integration
For organizations preferring directory synchronization over federation, MuVeraAI integrates directly with LDAP directories including Microsoft Active Directory.
Security Requirements:
- LDAPS (LDAP over SSL/TLS) is required; unencrypted LDAP is not supported
- Certificate validation is enforced
- Service account with minimal permissions (read-only)
Synchronization Features:
User Sync from AD Groups: MuVeraAI queries configured AD groups and synchronizes members. Changes in AD (new users, removed users, modified attributes) are reflected within the sync interval.
Role Mapping: AD groups map to platform roles, enabling centralized access control:
| AD Group | Platform Role | Permissions | |----------|---------------|-------------| | CN=MuVeraAI-Admins,OU=Groups,DC=corp | Administrator | Full platform access | | CN=MuVeraAI-PMs,OU=Groups,DC=corp | Project Manager | Project CRUD, team management | | CN=MuVeraAI-Engineers,OU=Groups,DC=corp | Engineer | Project access, BIM tools | | CN=MuVeraAI-Field,OU=Groups,DC=corp | Field User | Mobile access, limited write | | CN=MuVeraAI-Viewers,OU=Groups,DC=corp | Read Only | View-only access |
Automatic Deprovisioning: When a user is disabled or removed from mapped AD groups, their MuVeraAI access is automatically revoked at the next sync (typically within 15 minutes).
High Availability: Multiple LDAP servers can be configured for failover. If the primary server is unavailable, queries automatically route to secondary servers. Local caching maintains availability during brief outages.
4.3 Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
MuVeraAI implements fine-grained RBAC designed for construction workflows. Permissions are assigned to roles, roles are assigned to users, and permissions apply within defined scopes.
RBAC ARCHITECTURE
================================================================================
USER
|
+-- assigned to --> ROLE(s)
|
+-- grants --> PERMISSION(s)
|
+-- on --> RESOURCE(s)
|
+-- in --> SCOPE
(firm / project / asset)
Permission Categories:
| Category | Permissions | Description | |----------|-------------|-------------| | Projects | view, create, edit, delete, manage_users | Project lifecycle and team management | | BIM Models | view, upload, edit, download, clash_detect | 3D model access and coordination | | Safety | view, report_incident, manage_jha, approve | Safety management and compliance | | Quality | view, create_ncr, resolve_ncr, approve | Quality control workflows | | Financial | view_budget, edit_estimates, approve_change_orders | Cost and budget management | | Documents | view, upload, edit, delete, approve | Document control | | Admin | manage_users, manage_roles, view_audit_logs | System administration |
Scope Hierarchy:
Permissions can be scoped to different levels:
- Firm Level: Access to all projects within the firm
- Project Level: Access limited to specific projects
- Asset Level: Access limited to specific buildings, areas, or systems
Pre-Built Roles:
| Role | Description | Typical Users | |------|-------------|---------------| | Administrator | Full access to all features | IT administrators, platform owners | | Project Executive | View all projects, approve financials | VPs, directors | | Project Manager | Manage assigned projects, team access | Project managers | | Superintendent | Field operations, safety management | Superintendents | | Project Engineer | Technical documentation, RFIs | Project engineers | | Field Engineer | Mobile access, daily logs | Field engineers | | Estimator | Cost databases, bid preparation | Estimators | | Safety Manager | Safety compliance, incident management | Safety managers | | Quality Manager | Inspection plans, NCR management | QA/QC managers | | Viewer | Read-only access | Stakeholders, auditors |
Custom Roles: Organizations can create custom roles with specific permission combinations. Custom roles support separation of duties requirements.
4.4 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA adds a critical second layer of authentication, protecting accounts even when passwords are compromised.
Supported MFA Methods:
| Method | Security Level | Use Case | |--------|---------------|----------| | TOTP (Authenticator Apps) | High | Recommended default | | FIDO2/WebAuthn (Hardware Keys) | Highest | High-security users | | Push Notifications | High | Mobile-first users | | SMS | Medium | Legacy support (not recommended) |
MFA Enforcement Options:
- Organization-Wide Mandate: All users must enroll in MFA
- Role-Based Requirements: Require MFA for administrators and financial roles
- Risk-Based Step-Up: Require MFA for sensitive actions even if session was authenticated without it
- Trusted Device Recognition: Reduce MFA prompts for recognized devices (optional)
Recovery Procedures:
- Backup codes generated at enrollment
- Administrator-assisted recovery with identity verification
- Hardware token loss procedures
4.5 Session Management
Session security prevents unauthorized access through stolen or hijacked sessions.
Session Controls:
| Setting | Default | Configurable Range | |---------|---------|-------------------| | Idle Timeout | 15 minutes | 5-60 minutes | | Maximum Duration | 24 hours | 1-72 hours | | Concurrent Sessions | 5 | 1-unlimited | | Session Binding | IP + User Agent | Optional: strict binding |
Security Features:
- Cryptographically Secure Tokens: Session tokens are generated using cryptographically secure random number generators
- Session Binding: Sessions are optionally bound to IP address and user agent fingerprint; changes trigger re-authentication
- Immediate Revocation: Administrators can immediately terminate any user's sessions
- Refresh Token Rotation: Refresh tokens are rotated on each use; old tokens are immediately invalidated
- Logout Everywhere: Users can terminate all their sessions from any device
Session Audit: All session events are logged:
- Session creation (login)
- Session refresh (token renewal)
- Session termination (logout, timeout, revocation)
- Failed authentication attempts
5. Data Security
5.1 Encryption at Rest
All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256, the industry standard for symmetric encryption and the algorithm approved for classified government data.
| Data Store | Encryption Method | Key Management | |------------|------------------|----------------| | RDS Aurora PostgreSQL | Transparent Data Encryption | AWS KMS Customer Managed Key | | ElastiCache Redis | At-rest encryption | AWS KMS Customer Managed Key | | S3 Buckets | SSE-KMS | Customer Managed Key (option: BYOK) | | EBS Volumes | AES-256 | AWS KMS Customer Managed Key | | Elasticsearch | Node-to-node encryption | AWS KMS Customer Managed Key | | Backups | AES-256-GCM | Separate backup key |
AWS KMS Configuration:
- FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated hardware security modules
- Customer-managed keys (CMK) with customer-controlled key policies
- Automatic annual key rotation (configurable)
- Key usage audited in CloudTrail
Application-Level Encryption:
Beyond infrastructure encryption, sensitive fields are encrypted at the application layer before storage:
- Bid pricing and cost data
- Social Security numbers and financial account numbers
- Authentication credentials for integrations
- Customer proprietary methods and specifications
This defense-in-depth approach ensures that even database administrators cannot access sensitive data without application-level decryption keys.
Tenant-Specific Keys: Each tenant's sensitive data is encrypted with a unique key, ensuring that a key compromise affects only one tenant.
5.2 Encryption in Transit
All network communication is encrypted using modern TLS protocols.
External Traffic:
- TLS 1.3 preferred, TLS 1.2 minimum
- Strong cipher suites only (no legacy algorithms)
- HSTS enforced with preload list inclusion
- Certificate transparency logging
Supported Cipher Suites:
TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (TLS 1.3)
TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 (TLS 1.3)
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (TLS 1.2)
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 (TLS 1.2)
Internal Traffic (Service Mesh):
- Mutual TLS (mTLS) for all service-to-service communication
- Istio manages certificate issuance and rotation
- Certificates rotated every 24 hours
- No unencrypted internal traffic permitted
Database Connections:
- SSL/TLS required for all database connections
- Certificate validation enforced
- Connection strings never include plaintext credentials
5.3 Secrets Management (HashiCorp Vault)
Static secrets embedded in configuration files or environment variables are a security liability. MuVeraAI uses HashiCorp Vault for centralized, audited secrets management.
VAULT ARCHITECTURE
================================================================================
+------------------+ +------------------+ +------------------+
| Application | --> | Vault Client | --> | HashiCorp Vault |
| (Backend API) | | (AppRole Auth) | | (HA Cluster) |
+------------------+ +------------------+ +------------------+
| |
| Request: "I need DB credentials" |
| v
| +------------------+
| | Dynamic Secrets |
| | Engine |
| +------------------+
| |
v |
+------------------+ |
| PostgreSQL | <-------------------------------------+
| (connects with | "Here are credentials valid for
| short-lived | 15 minutes, unique to this request"
| credentials) |
+------------------+
Key Vault Features:
Dynamic Database Credentials: Instead of long-lived database passwords, applications request credentials from Vault. Vault creates unique credentials valid for 15 minutes, then automatically revokes them. If credentials are compromised, exposure is limited.
API Key Management: Third-party API keys (BIM platforms, ERP systems, payment processors) are stored encrypted in Vault and retrieved only when needed. Keys never appear in logs or environment variables.
PKI Certificate Issuance: Vault acts as an internal certificate authority, issuing short-lived certificates for service authentication.
Secret Versioning and Audit: Every secret access is logged with who accessed what and when. Previous versions are maintained for rollback.
Automatic Rotation: Vault rotates secrets on a defined schedule without application restarts.
Vault Policies:
| Policy | Scope | Purpose | |--------|-------|---------| | muveraai-backend | Application secrets, database credentials | Normal application operation | | muveraai-admin | All secrets, policy management | Administrative operations | | muveraai-ci | CI/CD pipeline credentials | Deployment automation |
5.4 Multi-Tenant Data Isolation
Construction firms sharing the MuVeraAI platform must have absolute confidence that their data is isolated from other tenants, including competitors.
Row-Level Security:
Every database table includes a firm_id column. All queries are automatically filtered by the current user's firm:
# BaseRepository automatically applies tenant filter
class BaseRepository:
def get_all(self, db: Session, user: User):
return db.query(self.model).filter(
self.model.firm_id == user.firm_id
).all()
This filtering is enforced at the ORM layer, not in application code, preventing developer errors from leaking data.
Separate Encryption Keys:
Each tenant has dedicated encryption keys. Even if an attacker gained access to the database, they would need to compromise keys for each tenant separately.
Query Logging and Monitoring:
All database queries are logged with the tenant context. Anomalous query patterns (e.g., a query without tenant filter, excessive data access) trigger security alerts.
Network Isolation Options:
For customers with elevated security requirements, dedicated VPC deployment provides complete network isolation from other tenants.
Audit Separation:
Audit logs are segregated by tenant. Administrators can only access logs for their own organization, preventing visibility into other tenants' activities.
