Security and Integration

Confidential by design. Ready to use.

Suppliers entrust Discoverer with their most sensitive technical evidence. Buyers entrust it with their procurement decisions. The platform is built to honor both — with encryption, access control, and data residency engineered for industrial sensitivity.

The architecture

Encryption, access, residency — engineered against the standards procurement actually tests.

Discoverer's security architecture is built on AWS infrastructure, with cryptographic primitives and access controls aligned to NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 252.204-7012, CMMC 2.0, and ITAR. The baseline is strong. The enhanced tier adds client-side encryption and per-customer key control for the most sensitive programs.

01

Encryption & Key Management

Data is encrypted before it leaves the supplier's device, at rest in AWS, and in transit between every party. Keys are isolated per customer.

  • Client-side AES-256 encryption — on the enhanced tier, files are encrypted before upload; AWS never sees plaintext
  • SSE-KMS at rest — per-customer Customer Master Keys (CMK) for cryptographic isolation
  • TLS 1.2+ in transit — FIPS endpoints available where required
  • FIPS 140-3 validated HSMs — AWS KMS keys are backed by validated hardware
  • Annual key rotation — or per-customer cadence on the enhanced tier
02

Access, Authentication, Audit

Suppliers control who sees what. Every action is authenticated, every download is logged, and storage paths never leak supplier identity.

  • Fine-grained IAM — supplier-controlled access to restricted documents
  • Multi-factor authentication — MFA challenge before sensitive actions on the enhanced tier
  • Short-lived pre-signed URLs — generated on request, unique per user, limited exposure window
  • CloudTrail data events — user, timestamp, IP, user agent logged for every upload, download, encrypt, decrypt
  • Opaque object IDs — file paths use document and customer IDs, never names — a breach can't leak who has what
  • Optional watermarking — on-the-fly download watermarking discourages leaks and supports forensics
03

Data Residency & Compliance

Sensitive data stays in the jurisdiction it belongs to. Tenants are pinned to the right AWS region or partition — with storage, keys, and audit logs all kept in-region.

  • AWS GovCloud (US) — for ITAR-eligible workloads and U.S.-only data boundaries
  • AWS Canada (ca-central-1) — for CGP and Canadian residency requirements
  • AWS Europe Sovereign — for EU residency and sovereignty mandates
  • Architected to meet NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 7012, CMMC 2.0, ITAR — the frameworks U.S. defense and aerospace procurement actually tests
  • 72-hour cyber-incident reporting — playbooks and evidence preservation aligned to DFARS expectations
  • Versioning, legal holds, lifecycle retention — meets policy and litigation-hold obligations
Integration

There is no integration project. Discoverer connects to nothing on your side — no ERP, no procurement system, no IT change-management cycle.

Buyers activate with company + user check and launch a project immediately.

Suppliers start from a prepopulated profile, built from public sources. They validate, upload their evidence, and the AI extracts and populates the rest. Finalization is minimal manual entry.

On the roadmap
SOC 2 Type II — in progress
ISO 27001 — planned
AS9100 operational alignment — planned
CMMC Level 3+ — for defense programs
Enterprise SSO — SAML 2.0, Okta, Azure AD
Embedded 3D CAD viewer — browser-based, no local file storage
