Governance Inside SNAP: Tenant Isolation, Audit, and Access Control

Enterprise memory is only useful if security and compliance teams sign off. SNAP's governance layer is built for that conversation.

Tenant isolation by default

Each customer's memory lives in an isolated tenant. No shared embeddings, no cross-customer retrieval, no model fine-tuning on your data. Isolation is the default posture, not a configuration.

Permissions inherited from source systems

When SNAP captures a document from your source systems, it inherits the access controls already defined there. A user querying memory sees only what they'd already be allowed to see in the underlying tool. New employees don't accidentally surface restricted context on day one.

Every answer, every access, audited

Every query, retrieval, and generated answer is logged with the user, timestamp, retrieved sources, and reviewer decisions. Auditors get a complete trail without instrumentation projects.

Reviewer gates for high-stakes answers

Categories you flag as sensitive route through a human reviewer before the answer reaches the requester. This is the same pattern we describe in Real-Time AI Compliance Checks — governance enforced at the moment of use, not after the fact.

Retention and right-to-be-forgotten

Retention policies apply to captured memory the same way they apply in source systems. When a source record is deleted, the corresponding memory is invalidated. Regulated industries — healthcare, banking, government — can map SNAP directly to existing data-handling policies.

Why this matters for adoption

Security review is where most enterprise AI pilots die. Building governance into the memory layer, rather than around it, is how SNAP clears procurement in weeks instead of quarters. For the broader philosophy, see our Responsible AI-by-Design Framework.
