# Cord Security And Governance

Cord is built for sensitive financial and operating data. The platform emphasizes governed access, auditability, and source-backed answers.

## Security Posture

- SOC 2 audited and enterprise-ready controls.
- Security, availability, and confidentiality focus.
- Continuous security monitoring.
- Trust center: https://trust.cord.nyc

## Access Governance

- Role-based governance.
- Granular role and team permissions.
- Least-privilege access.
- Controlled access to sensitive data and workflows.

## Lineage And Auditability

Cord is designed so material answers can be traced back to source records. Key governance concepts include:

- Answer-level lineage.
- Source-backed citations.
- Calculation paths.
- Assumption audit trails.
- Full audit trail on actions and outputs.

## Why This Matters

Capital and resource allocation decisions often use sensitive financial, customer, contract, employee, vendor, and operational data. Cord treats that data as decision infrastructure and gives leaders a way to defend outputs with source-level context.
