Security Model

3 subsections

Security in Cerulea is structured across runtime, governance, infrastructure, and operational layers. The security posture of a system depends on its deployment type and the configuration decisions made during the build lifecycle.

Operational vs Data Control Boundary

Cerulea manages

  • Deployment orchestration
  • Upgrade management
  • Monitoring surface provisioning
  • Lifecycle control tooling

Enterprise owns

  • Transaction execution and state
  • Smart contract state
  • Validator key management
  • All enterprise data within the deployed system
Cerulea does not read transaction payloads, access smart contract state, or control enterprise validator keys. This boundary is enforced architecturally, not contractually.

Enterprise Data Sovereignty

Organizations retain exclusive control over transaction content, validator key management, network exposure boundaries, governance participation, and all infrastructure decisions. Cerulea systems are built so that the platform cannot access data it has no operational need to touch.

Compliance Positioning

  • Role-based access control for permissioned participation
  • Governance-controlled upgrade and change management
  • Audit trails for all governance actions and configuration changes
  • Enterprise-defined compliance rule enforcement at the module level
  • Cross-border governance adaptability for multi-jurisdiction deployments
Cerulea does not provide legal compliance certifications. It provides the structural controls through which organizations can implement and enforce their own compliance requirements.
