Security Posture

Compliant today. Audit-ready path documented.

LouieAuto is FTC Safeguards Rule compliant at the control level. SOC 2 Type I certification targeted Q2 2026 — Type II operating-period audit follows. This page is the public summary; full control matrix and readiness roadmap available in the diligence data room under NDA.

Data handling.

Data classes

  • Dealer identifiers — rooftop name, DMS integration tokens. Encrypted at rest.
  • Customer PII — name, phone, email, DOB for deal structure. Encrypted at rest; redacted before LLM calls.
  • Financial data — credit score tier, income range, deal structure. Never transmitted to third-party LLMs as raw values; bucketed before send.
  • Operational telemetry — request latencies, error rates, module usage. No PII.

Retention & deletion

  • Dealer-initiated deletion: honored within 5 business days.
  • Customer deletion request: honored within 30 days (CCPA / CPRA aligned).
  • Broker access logs: 24-month retention under NDA, then purge.

Cross-border transfer

  • All data resides on US-region infrastructure.
  • LLM inference: provider routing allows selecting US-region endpoints (Anthropic, Azure, GCP).
  • Local Ollama inference available for dealers who require on-prem processing.

Incident response.

SeverityDefinitionResponse SLA
P0Data exposure confirmed60 minutes to containment; 24 hours to dealer notification; 72 hours to regulator where required
P1Service outage affecting deal flow15 minutes to acknowledge; 4 hours to restore or provide workaround
P2Degraded feature or non-critical errorBusiness-hour response; 48 hours to resolve
P3Cosmetic or low-impactNext release cycle

Detailed runbook, contact tree, and post-mortem template are in the data room. Report vulnerabilities to brian@louieauto.com — PGP key published in /.well-known/security.txt.

Dependency & supply chain.

  • SBOM generated per release (CycloneDX format).
  • Dependencies pinned; npm audit + Snyk CI integration on readiness path.
  • No known high-severity unpatched CVEs at date of publication.
  • LLM provider routing isolates single-vendor failure — Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure, GCP, local Ollama all supported.
