Security & Data Protection

Vector Vault implements enterprise-grade security measures to protect your data and ensure privacy compliance.

Data Encryption

All data is secured both in transit and at rest with industry-standard encryption:

In Transit: TLS/SSL encryption for all data transfers between clients and Vector Vault infrastructure
At Rest: AES-256 encryption for all stored data, including vectors, metadata, and user content
End-to-End Protection: Your data remains encrypted throughout the entire pipeline

Vector Vault employs robust access control mechanisms to ensure data security:

API Authentication: Secure API key-based authentication for all requests
Principle of Least Privilege: Users and API keys are granted only the minimum permissions necessary
Isolated Vaults: Each vault is a completely separate namespace with independent access controls
User Authorization: Multi-level permission system ensures only authorized users access specific resources

Your privacy is our highest priority:

No Third-Party Sharing: We never share your data with third parties without explicit permission
Data Ownership: You maintain complete ownership and control of your data
Compliance Ready: Infrastructure designed to support GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliance requirements
Tenant Isolation: Complete data isolation between different user accounts

Automated backup and disaster recovery systems protect against data loss:

Automatic Backups: Regular automated backups of all vault data
Disaster Recovery: Built-in failover and recovery mechanisms ensure high availability
99.9% Uptime SLA: Production-grade infrastructure with automatic failover
Permanent Deletion: User-deleted data is permanently removed and cannot be recovered, ensuring privacy

API keys are protected with industry-standard security practices:

Hashed Storage: API keys are stored using secure cryptographic hashing (not reversible)
Easy Rotation: Generate new API keys instantly if one is compromised
Instant Revocation: Immediately disable exposed keys to prevent unauthorized access
Password Protection: API key generation and management protected by user password authentication

When using Vector Vault, we recommend:

Rotate API Keys Regularly: Update keys periodically and when team members change
Use Environment Variables: Never hardcode API keys in source code
Monitor Access Logs: Review API usage for suspicious activity
Separate Environments: Use different API keys for development, staging, and production
Secure Storage: Store API keys in secure secret management systems (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, etc.)
