Enterprise Security & Architecture Assessment
Launching without a documented security decision exposes you to operational, financial and compliance risk. This service is an independent technical evaluation using the Clearance Methodology — AlfaNest Labs’ decision layer for whether a system can proceed in its current form.
This is not an automated vulnerability scan and not a marketing badge. It reviews how the application operates as a system: architecture, access, operations and resilience. The output is a written verdict with reasons, not a “safe forever” promise.
What is evaluated
The assessment follows 25 technical functions, grouped as:
• Core Logic — contract / application integrity, access control (RBAC), business logic, ownership / admin structure, disclosure, deployment safety, plus Web3-specific checks (LP lock, oracle / pricing) when in scope
• Operational Stability — backup and recovery, monitoring, incident response, session management, rate limiting, dependency risk, upgrade mechanism, timelock / governance, operational documentation
• Resilience Layer — post-quantum (PQC) readiness, emergency invalidation / kill switch, single points of failure (SPOF), key management, disaster recovery, migration / exit path, third-party risk, sunset capability
For AI-enabled products, six additional AI-SHIELD checks can be included: model source verification, drift and hallucination controls, guardrails, prompt sanitization, auth intent / RBAC, and replay protection.
Typical systems: SaaS, APIs, Web3 / crypto, e-commerce, FinTech, and AI agents.
How it works
1. You choose a package and send scope: primary URL, architecture notes, and (if relevant) repo, contract addresses, or AI endpoints.
2. Scope is locked in writing — what is evaluated and what is excluded — before work starts.
3. Evaluation runs against the confirmed scope. Evidence is documented. No shortcuts.
4. You receive the Clearance Report with an explicit verdict:
— GRANTED (Ready): proceed in the evaluated form
— CONDITIONAL (Pending Action): proceed only after listed conditions
— DENIED (Blocked): critical impediments; do not proceed until remediated
Deliverables
• Clearance Report with criteria, findings, limitations and validity (snapshot at the time of evaluation)
• Explicit verdict: GRANTED / CONDITIONAL / DENIED
• Actionable remediation guidance per material finding
• Deployment / launch recommendation
• Project ID for the decision record
• On GRANTED: Verification Seal (technical marker, not a marketing badge)
What you need to provide
• Primary product / app URL (required)
• Short description of architecture, auth model and third-party dependencies
• Optional: GitHub or docs, evidence files (PDF / text)
• Web3: contract addresses and chain
• AI package: agent endpoints and model provider
What is not included
• Implementation, rebuild or “we will fix it for you”
• Ongoing monitoring or a subscription
• A certification or attestation (not ISO / SOC 2 / MiCA certification — readiness mapping only if selected)
• A guarantee of listings, investor approval or future security
• Transfer of responsibility — the verdict is a documented decision at time T0, not a warranty
After the report
Material changes (code, vendors, admin keys) invalidate the verdict. If the result is CONDITIONAL or DENIED, a paid re-evaluation (CL-RE) is available after you remediate. There is no appeal: fix the issues and re-apply.
