SECURITY & TRUST

Your Data Stays Yours

Security isn't a feature at Knowi - it's the foundation. From architecture to AI, every layer is built to keep data in your environment, under your control.

SOC 2 Type II Certified AES-256 Encryption Private AI / No External LLMs On-Premises Available

Data Stays in Your Environment

Knowi queries your databases directly using native protocols. No data is copied into proprietary storage. Results are held in a configurable, temporary cache - then discarded.

Encrypted at Every Layer

AES-256 encryption for credentials and cached results at rest. TLS 1.2+ for all traffic in transit. Optional IP whitelisting, SSL/SSH tunneling, and private deployments.

Enterprise Governance

SSO via SAML & OpenID Connect, 2FA, LDAP, role-based access control, row-level security, multi-tenancy isolation, and full audit trails.

How Knowi Handles Your Data

Knowi generates a secure query, retrieves only the result, and stores it in a temporary cache. Your source data never moves.
