SECURITY & DATA HANDLING

Confidential result delivery without hiding the boundary.

ACRD — Attested Confidential Result Delivery is Alert Decision's provider-neutral confidential-result delivery architecture. It is designed to keep customer plaintext out of normal application hosts while keeping the proprietary decision core under service-only control.

Controls designed into ACRD

Control	Purpose
Attestation-gated execution	Reject execution when the confidential runtime or measurement cannot be verified.
Encrypted ingress	Customer payloads enter through a protected path rather than ordinary plaintext application handling.
No plaintext retention on normal hosts	Normal application hosts are not intended to persist customer plaintext.
Approved-output policy	Only customer-facing decisions, evidence and reports are designed to leave the confidential boundary.
Fail-closed runtime contract	If the required confidential provider adapter is not available or evidence is incomplete, ACRD mode refuses to run.

Threat-model priorities

The architecture is designed around four priorities: service-only control of proprietary product IP, non-distribution of the proprietary executable/core, confidentiality of customer data, and provider portability. Provider-specific confidential-computing technology is treated as an adapter rather than the product architecture.

Current truth boundary

The ADCON ACRD contract and fail-closed integration have passed Windows and Linux validation in the tested build. Production confidential execution still requires an actual confidential-computing provider adapter and corresponding attestation/key-release infrastructure. Alert Decision does not claim third-party SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or similar certification unless independently obtained.
