Zero data transfer to Asterminds. All processing runs inside your private cloud tenancy (AWS, Azure, or GCP). Asterminds never receives individual employee records. The knowledge graph is computed on your infrastructure and queried through our API.

Message content is never read. Only participation metadata (who contributed to what, when) is processed to infer expertise signals.

Security

Privacy and data governance built for large Japanese organizations

Asterminds was designed from the beginning for the strict data governance requirements of large Japanese enterprises. The core principle: your data never leaves your infrastructure.

Every connector uses read-only API access. The knowledge graph is built and stored in your private tenancy. Asterminds operates as a query layer, not a data store.

  • All processing runs in your private cloud tenancy
  • Read-only API connectors, no write access to source systems
  • Message and document content is never transmitted
  • Role-based access controls on graph query permissions
  • Full audit log of all expert-finder queries
  • Data residency in Japan for all tenancies
