AI that earns your trust
Most AI assistants ask you to hand over your data, your credentials, and your control. Sophon was built on the opposite principle: your data never leaves your infrastructure, your secrets are never exposed to the model, and nothing happens without your explicit permission.
Your Infrastructure, Your Data
Sophon runs entirely on your servers. Conversations, memory, documents, and credentials never leave your environment. There is no telemetry, no analytics, no phone-home. You own every byte.
Zero data collectionYour AI Never Sees Your Secrets
Credentials are stored in an encrypted vault and brokered at execution time. The AI agent receives results, never raw tokens. API keys, OAuth tokens, and passwords are architecturally invisible to the model.
Brokered credential patternNothing Happens Without Your Say
Every action is classified by risk. Sensitive operations — sending emails, modifying data, executing code — require explicit human approval. Timeout means reject. Sophon never assumes consent.
Human-in-the-loop by defaultSandboxed From the Ground Up
All code execution happens inside isolated containers with CPU, memory, and time limits. Network access is disabled by default. Skills from the Marketplace run in the same secure sandbox — no exceptions.

Most AI assistant platforms require you to send data to their cloud. Sophon is fundamentally different.
| Security Feature | Sophon | Cloud AI Assistants |
|---|---|---|
| Data stays on your infrastructure | ||
| AI never sees raw credentials | ||
| Human approval for sensitive actions | ||
| Encrypted credential vault | ||
| Sandboxed code execution | ||
| No telemetry or data collection | ||
| Enterprise SSO / OIDC | ||
| Audit logging with export | ||
| Model-agnostic (bring your own) | ||
| Open deployment (self-host anywhere) |
The credential firewall
In most AI systems, the model sees your API keys. In Sophon, that is architecturally impossible.
The AI requests an action → the Credential Proxy fetches the token from the vault → makes the API call → returns only the result. The model never sees, logs, or caches credentials.
Defense in depth
Six layers of protection working together. Each layer is independently valuable — together, they make Sophon one of the most secure AI platforms available.
Encrypted Vault
AES-256-GCM encryption at rest. DPAPI, Keychain, or libsecret for key management. Enterprise support for HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and Azure Key Vault.
OAuth 2.1 + PKCE
All integrations prefer modern OAuth with proof keys. Short-lived tokens, minimum scopes, automatic rotation. Static credentials are a last resort.
Risk Classification Engine
Every tool call is scored from None to Critical. You configure which risk levels auto-approve and which require your review — down to the individual tool.
Quiet Hours
Configure time windows when approvals are queued instead of interrupting you. Sophon waits until morning — it never acts on your behalf while you sleep.
Network Isolation
Sandboxed skills have no network access by default. Skills must explicitly declare network requirements, and elevated access triggers approval gates.
Complete Audit Trail
Every action is logged: who triggered it, what happened, when, and the outcome. Enterprise tier adds compliance export, retention policies, and tamper-evident storage.
You decide what auto-approves
Every tool call carries a risk level. You configure the threshold — from fully autonomous to fully supervised.
| Risk Level | Examples | Default Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| None | Search memory, list calendar, read files | Auto-approve |
| Low | Draft email, create reminder, web search | Auto-approve (configurable) |
| Medium | Send message, create Jira ticket, execute code | Require review (configurable) |
| High | Send email, delete data, shell execution | Always require approval |
| Critical | Transfer funds, modify security settings | Approval + confirmation |
Enterprise compliance ready
From SOC 2 to GDPR to HIPAA — Sophon gives your compliance team the controls they need without slowing down your users.
SSO & Identity
OIDC / SAML integration with any identity provider. Enforce MFA, session policies, and conditional access from your existing IdP.
Role-Based Access Control
Fine-grained RBAC with custom roles. Control who can create agents, install skills, approve actions, access memory, or manage channels.
Multi-Tenant Isolation
Complete data isolation between tenants. Separate databases, memory stores, and credential vaults. No cross-tenant data leakage — by architecture, not policy.
Data Sovereignty
Deploy in any region, on any cloud, or on-premises. Your data residency requirements are met by choosing where to run Sophon — not by trusting a vendor's promise.
