Customer control
Customers approve connected data, authorized users, workflows, retention and the professionals responsible for action.
Security & Trust
Governed Intelligence.
Customer-Controlled Action.
Heimdall is designed for high-consequence environments where data scope, access, evidence, accountability and deployment choice must be explicit.
Trust principles
Controls follow the decision—not just the technology.
Each deployment starts with its purpose, data, users and operating responsibilities. The control model is then aligned to the environment and the consequences of the decisions it supports.
Least privilege
Unique identities, multifactor authentication and role-based permissions restrict access according to responsibility.
Evidence and accountability
Intelligence remains connected to supporting context, ownership, review, intervention and outcome.
Deployment fit
Cloud and on-premises options support customer architecture, security and operating requirements.
Data protection and access
Protect information throughout its use.
Controls are configured according to the agreed deployment model and sensitivity of the information involved.
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Data classification and handling requirements
- Unique identities and multifactor authentication
- Role-based and least-privilege access
- Controlled storage, transfer and approved access paths
Customer-defined boundaries
Customers determine which systems and information are appropriate for the use case, who can access them and how long deployment information should be retained.
Where customer identity services are used, provisioning and revocation can remain connected to the customer’s access-management process.
Monitoring and accountability
Maintain an operating record that can be reviewed.
Security-relevant events are logged according to the deployment so authorized teams can investigate access, configuration and application activity.
Activity records
Authentication, administrative, application and data activity can be recorded at the appropriate layer.
Security review
Findings and control status are reviewed through documented security processes and assigned for remediation.
Incident escalation
Suspected security, privacy and legal events follow defined documentation, assessment, escalation and notification procedures.
Secure delivery
Security continues through the software lifecycle.
Standard source changes follow controlled review, testing and deployment practices, with proportionate review for approved exceptions.
- 01
Review
Changes are authorized, peer reviewed and connected to documented work.
- 02
Test
Automated checks evaluate code, dependencies, secrets and application security where applicable.
- 03
Remediate
Material findings are resolved or formally risk reviewed before production use.
- 04
Validate
Deployment and security-relevant outcomes are logged, reviewed and tracked.
Deployment flexibility
Fit the architecture to the customer.
Heimdall supports cloud and on-premises deployment options. The chosen model determines the detailed architecture and division of responsibilities.
Plan a Focused PilotAgreed before connection
- Hosting and network model
- Authorized systems, data and integrations
- Identity, access and administrative paths
- Logging, monitoring and retention expectations
- Backup, continuity and incident responsibilities
- Customer, partner and Davista ownership
Human authority
Intelligence informs. Authorized professionals decide.
Heimdall identifies meaningful change, explains supporting evidence and routes an accountable review path. It does not replace policy, professional judgment or the authority of the customer organization.
Consequential decisions remain human-led
- Customers define purpose and policy
- Evidence remains available for review
- Roles determine who can see and act
- Professionals determine intent and response
- Actions and outcomes remain traceable
