Data Protection
Define data controls for the actual system.
Data protection requires system-specific evidence. This page describes review questions; it does not claim universal encryption settings, tenant isolation, backup schedules, or tested recovery.
Controls
Protection review framework
Confirm implementation and evidence for each system, provider, and environment.
Encryption and secrets
Transport and storage
Verify protocol, storage encryption, key ownership, and coverage in the selected environment.
Key lifecycle
Record key owner, access, rotation, revocation, and evidence; no standard rotation interval or BYOK capability is asserted.
Credentials
Keep credentials out of source, front-end bundles, prompts, and public documentation; identify approved storage and revocation.
Backups and recovery
Backup scope
Identify systems, data, frequency, access, retention, encryption, and expiry.
Restore evidence
Record restore procedure, test scope, date, result, and unresolved limitations.
Recovery objectives
Set RTO/RPO only where architecture, ownership, and tests support the commitment.
Isolation and deletion
Tenant boundaries
Test tenant-scoped authorization, queries, files, integrations, and administrative paths.
Environment boundaries
Map identities, data, secrets, and network paths across environments.
Deletion lifecycle
Define deletion scope, downstream providers, backup expiry, verification, and legal exceptions.
Data lifecycle
Map data from collection through deletion.
For each data class, record source, purpose, authorized users, storage and provider locations, model processing, retention, export, deletion, backup expiry, legal holds, and a named owner. No universal retention period or deletion deadline is published.
Isolation
Test tenant and environment boundaries
Isolation depends on the actual architecture. Verify authorization and data-flow boundaries rather than assuming tenant separation from a product label.

Identify the data, system boundary, providers, retention needs, and evidence requirements for your review. Availability of detailed documentation must be confirmed individually.
