SECURITY PROTOCOL // REV 2025.4/ISO-27001 & SOC 2 TYPE II AUDITED/AIR-GAPPED RELAY AGENTS // ZERO CLOUD INGRESS

Air-gapped factory execution. Zero cloud ingress. Bank-grade manufacturing security.

Designed from first principles for mission-critical industrial networks, regulated defense contractors, and pharmaceutical cGMP facilities where production schedules, recipe formulation, and capacity envelopes can never leave the plant perimeter.

Boundary Ingressformat_image_left
0 Ports
Strict Egress Only

Relay daemons push deterministic state packets outbound over TLS 1.3 to DMZ. No inbound ports open to factory subnet.

Trust Assuranceworkspace_premium
SOC 2 Type II
All 5 Trust Criteria

Continuous real-time evidence synthesis audited by Schellman covering Security, Availability, Privacy, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality.

Pharma Standardfact_check
21 CFR Part 11
ALCOA+ Compliant

SHA-256 sealed dispatches, dual-signatory approvals, immutable append-only audit journals, and compliant batch changeover logging.

IP Isolationlock_reset
0% Model Training
Isolated Mathematical Kernel

Combinatorial MILP heuristics execute in isolated volatile memory. Zero proprietary recipe or routing data feeds shared AI models.

Topological Flexibility

Three enterprise deployment tiers, engineered for zero compromise

From regulated defense manufacturing to global consumer packaged goods, deploy Cadence exactly where your security envelope demands.

Strict data handling contract & technical governance

How Cadence handles cryptographic keying, identity verification, memory isolation, and continuous external threat penetration testing.

01 // Key Governance

Cryptographic Key Management (BYOK)

Take full custody of cryptographic secrets. Cadence supports Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) via AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, or HashiCorp Vault. Data is encrypted in-flight with TLS 1.3 and at-rest using customer-held AES-256 keys. Revoke key access instantly to render all solver datastores permanently unreadable.

02 // Access Control

Role-Based Access Control & SAML 2.0 SSO

Synchronize enterprise directories seamlessly via Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, PingIdentity, or CyberArk. Enforce granular permissions down to specific production cells and lines: Plant Controller, Master Scheduler, Floor Dispatcher, Maintenance Tech, or Read-Only Operator. SCIM 2.0 automated provisioning included.

03 // Ephemeral Execution

Ephemeral In-Memory Solving Kernel

Manufacturing capacity variables, machine setup matrices, and formulation rules solve purely inside volatile RAM. Once optimal dispatches are computed and emitted to shop floor MES systems, raw scratch variables and intermediate solver branches are purged from memory, leaving zero residual exposure footprint on local storage.
