Agentic AI Security and SOC 2 Compliance

Why SOC 2 Matters for AI Governance

SOC 2 Type II certification demonstrates that a platform has maintained security controls over an extended period. For AI governance, this means:

  • Data is protected at rest and in transit
  • Access controls prevent unauthorized modifications
  • Audit trails are comprehensive and tamper-evident
  • Incident response procedures are documented and tested

The VPC-Native Advantage

Mala.dev's Sidecar runs entirely within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This architecture provides:

  • **Zero data egress**: Sensitive data never leaves your infrastructure
  • **Network isolation**: The Sidecar operates behind your firewall
  • **Existing security controls**: Your SOC, IAM, and monitoring tools apply
