# Tenant & Environment Isolation

How Taloflow isolates tenants and separates dev, staging, and production.

### Scope

This page covers tenant isolation and environment separation.

### Data ownership and storage

Taloflow maintains clear separation between different types of data:

**Taloflow Platform Data**:

* Evaluation configurations
* Methodology templates
* Vendor databases
* Rating criteria

**Client Data**:

* Evaluation results
* Custom configurations
* Reports and exports
* All data created within your evaluations

### Personal Information (PII)

* **No client personal data** is stored in Taloflow's database
* **All Personally Identifiable Information (PII)** is managed exclusively by Auth0
* **Zero proprietary client data** storage outside of evaluation-specific information

### Environment Separation

* **Development**: Isolated development environment
* **Staging**: Pre-production testing environment
* **Production**: Live customer environment

Each environment is separated with no cross-contamination of data or credentials.

No customer evaluation data is used in development or staging.

Secrets and credentials are not shared across environments.

### Network segmentation

Taloflow uses network segmentation to limit lateral movement.

Subnets are restricted by firewall and security rules.

Administrative access uses controlled entry points (for example, bastion-style access).

### Database Access Control

* **Server-level restrictions**: Database access is controlled at the server level
* **OPA authorization**: All user requests pass through Open Policy Agent evaluation
* **Functional table access**: Some tables require related access for functionality (e.g., evaluations require access to policies, status, and settings tables)
* **Resolver-level security**: Additional security controls at the application resolver level

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.taloflow.ai/security/platform-controls/tenant-and-environment-isolation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
