Access, enforced at the data
Attribute-based permissions evaluated per request against user, role, and classification — not bolted on at the app layer.
Trust & Security
In the work that matters most, trust is the product.
Parotia is built for environments where a single unaccounted-for action is unacceptable. Sovereignty, access, and accountability are not features bolted on at the end — they are the foundation everything else stands on.
Security is the foundation, not a feature.
For environments where one unaccounted-for action is unacceptable. Every layer defensible, observable, and provably correct.
Every action, on the record
Each query, change, and decision writes to an immutable, tamper-evident audit trail you can defend.
Encrypted, end to end
In transit and at rest, with customer-managed keys and automated rotation under your control.
Compliance, by construction
Built to support SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP-aligned deployments from day one.
Data sovereignty
Your data stays in your jurisdiction.
Parotia deploys in the region you choose — cloud, on-premises, or fully air-gapped. Sensitive data never leaves the borders it is bound by, and you hold the keys to it.
- In-region and on-soil deployment options
- Air-gapped environments for the most sensitive work
- Customer-managed encryption keys, rotated on your schedule
- No silent data transfer across borders, ever
Access & governance
The right people see the right data. Nothing more.
Permissions are evaluated per request against the user, their role, and the classification of the data itself — enforced at the data layer, not patched on at the application. Access you cannot bypass, and cannot forget to apply.
- Attribute-based access control (ABAC) by default
- Row-, column-, and cell-level security
- Purpose-based access and time-bound grants
- Lineage on every value, from source to screen
Compliance
Built to satisfy the people who audit you.
Parotia is engineered to support the standards mission-critical sectors are held to — and to produce the evidence auditors ask for without a fire drill.
- SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 aligned
- GDPR, POPIA (South Africa), and NDPR (Nigeria) ready
- FedRAMP-aligned deployment patterns
- Evidence and reporting generated from the audit log
Security questions, answered plainly.
Talk to our security team- Where is my data stored?
- Wherever you require it to be. Parotia deploys in your chosen region — in the public cloud, in your own data center, or in a fully air-gapped environment. Sensitive data stays within the jurisdiction it is governed by, and you control the encryption keys.
- How does Parotia control who can access data?
- Access is governed by attribute-based access control (ABAC) evaluated on every request against the user, their role, and the classification of the data. Controls are enforced at the data layer down to the row, column, and cell — so they apply consistently across every application and query.
- Can we prove what happened after the fact?
- Yes. Every query, change, and decision is written to an immutable, tamper-evident audit log. You can reconstruct exactly who saw what, what changed, and which action was taken — and generate the evidence auditors require directly from that record.
- Which compliance standards does Parotia support?
- Parotia is built to support SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP-aligned deployments, and to meet the requirements of GDPR, POPIA, and NDPR. Because compliance evidence is generated from the audit log, demonstrating it is a report, not a project.
