Built for due diligence

Security & privacy.

Cross-asset risk research is only useful if the system holding it can be trusted. Sentealpha was built for institutional due diligence from day one — edge-gated access, append-only audit, role-based authorization, and signature-verified cross-zone calls. Every layer independent and individually auditable.

Security & privacy.

Cross-asset risk research is only useful if the system holding it can be trusted. Edge-gated access, append-only audit, role-based authorization, and signature-verified cross-zone calls — every layer independent and individually auditable. Full architecture available to evaluators on access approval.

Edge access

Cloudflare Access gateway
Every authenticated route sits behind Cloudflare Access. Per-user one-time-passcode authentication establishes a 24-hour session; revocation propagates in seconds. The origin host is never reachable from the public internet — outbound tunnel only, no port-forward.
  • Per-user OTP · 24h session · sub-5s revocation
  • Origin host IP never publicly reachable

Authorization

Role-based access control
Five roles — visitor, free, pro, institutional, admin — checked against a default-deny capability matrix on every gated endpoint. Sensitive operations (audit export, GDPR erasure, key rotation) require a fresh time-based one-time password on top of the standard session, and are logged twice (attempt and completion).
  • Forty actions enumerated · default-deny on missing pair
  • Per-tier rate limits prevent runaway use

Audit trail

Append-only usage log
Every authorization check, every gated request, every administrative action writes to an append-only audit log. The store is partitioned by month for query performance; entries cannot be modified after write — even by the operator. Retention is at least 90 days; longer on contractual request.
  • Per-event request ID + hashed IP + hashed payload (no raw PII)
  • Append-only enforced at the database role level

Defense in depth

Multiple independent safety nets
Edge controls, transport controls, and runtime controls are independent and individually auditable. A failure in any single layer does not compromise the others. Every server-rendered page carries a per-request content-security-policy nonce; every cross-zone token is signature-verified before any backend call resolves.
  • RS256 signature verification on every authenticated request
  • Cloudflare WAF Managed Ruleset (caught 3× CVE-2025-55182 React RCE)

Framework alignment

We speak the language of due diligence.

Sentealpha's architecture maps to the controls institutional buyers verify in evaluation. We are not yet SOC 2 audited; the audit is targeted Q4 2026 conditional on first institutional pilot signing — the cost is gated to revenue.
