Trust center
Security isn't a tier.
It's the foundation.
Autonomy is only valuable if it's trustworthy. Chimes is built so that isolation, encryption, and AI safety are properties of the architecture — not features you bolt on later.
Defense in depth
Six layers, working together.
From the database row to the last token of an AI response, every layer assumes the others might fail — and protects you anyway.
Tenant isolation
Row-level security on every tenant-scoped table. One tenant can never see another's data — enforced at the database, not the application.
PII protection
AES-256-GCM envelope encryption at rest via the KMS adapter, plus a typed redactor that scrubs PII before anything reaches a log.
API security
Argon2id-hashed keys with rotation and revocation, and GCRA rate limiting on every endpoint to stop abuse cold.
Hardened transport
TLS 1.3 with rustls — no OpenSSL — plus HSTS, a strict CSP, COOP/CORP, and a locked-down Permissions-Policy.
AI safety
Confidence thresholds, grounding checks, hostile-sentiment escalation, and per-session budgets keep autonomy inside the lines.
Immutable audit
Every action — human or agent — is hash-chained and attributable. You can reconstruct exactly what happened, and why.
Your keys, your control
Bring your own everything.
Identity, secrets, and storage are adapters. Run Chimes against your OpenBao, your KMS, your Postgres — the platform never assumes it owns your sensitive infrastructure.
[adapters.kms]
provider = "openbao" // your vault
[adapters.iam]
provider = "keystone"
mode = "postgres" // your database
[security]
pii_redaction = "strict"
tls = "1.3" // rustls, no openssl
audit = "hash-chained"“The most autonomous system we evaluated was also the most auditable. That's not a coincidence — it's the design.”
Questions
The short answers.
Row-level security is applied to all tenant-scoped tables in PostgreSQL. Isolation is enforced by the database itself on every query, so a bug in application code can't leak one tenant's data to another.

Autonomy you can actually trust.
