Truthlocks B2G Procurement Pack
Institutional Security, Privacy, and Data Governance
1. Executive Summary
The Truthlocks B2G Procurement Pack is designed for government agencies and public institutions. It addresses the unique requirements of public sector data handling, including rigorous auditability, sovereign data control, and incident response readiness.
2. Institutional Architecture
Truthlocks provides Sovereign-Ready Infrastructure:
- Regional Data Residency: Support for localized hosting within approved AWS regions.
- Logical Isolation: Enhanced RLS policies and dedicated encryption keys per government tenant.
- Auditability: Real-time, tamper-evident logs for every administrative and transactional action.
3. Privacy & Compliance Matrix
| Objective | Truthlocks Control |
|---|---|
| Data Retention | Configurable TTLs and automated erasure schedules. |
| Data Minimization | Private payloads are never indexed; only cryptographic hashes are persisted. |
| Access Control | Fine-grained RBAC with mandatory multi-party authorization for high-stakes ops. |
| Transparency | Publicly verifiable signed checkpoints for platform integrity. |
4. Incident Response & SLAs
We maintain a robust operational posture for public sector reliability:
- Uptime SLA: 99.99% availability for core signing and verification services.
- Recovery: Multi-AZ failover and encrypted point-in-time recovery for all system logs.
- Security Disclosures: Dedicated PGP-signed security communications and a 24/7 Response Team.
5. Deployment Framework
- Pilot Phase: Sandboxed integration for feasibility and security assessment.
- Compliance Review: Detailed mapping of Truthlocks controls to local institutional standards.
- Production Rollout: Incremental migration of public service records to the high-integrity layer.
Technical Appendix: Data Lifecycle
Truthlocks treats data as a transient asset. Once an attestation is minted and the proof bundle is delivered to the citizen/consumer, the system transitions to a preservation-mode where only the non-repudiable metadata remains active for verification.
[!IMPORTANT] Truthlocks avoids the "forever-ledger" pitfalls of blockchain by allowing institutions to define clear end-of-life policies for their signing records while maintaining verification integrity.
