What security, compliance, and data-residency guarantees does AI RFP software provide?
SOC 2 Type II, encryption baselines and what GDPR actually requires on data residency, plus the security controls Inventive AI documents.
Three distinct guarantees get conflated here. Attestation: SOC 2 examines controls against the AICPA's five trust criteria, security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy. Type II is the one that matters, because it tests operating effectiveness over a period rather than design at a single date. Encryption: current baselines are AES-256 (FIPS 197) and TLS 1.2+. Residency: no GDPR provision requires EU-only storage, Chapter V permits transfers under adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses. Buyers request region-pinning to avoid transfer-assessment burden, not to satisfy a mandate.
Inventive AI is SOC 2 Type II compliant, independently audited against all five trust principles. The security documentation specifies AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2 in transit, strict tenant isolation across dedicated production and staging VPCs, SAML SSO with Google, Microsoft and Okta, and encrypted logs with sensitive fields scrubbed.
