Security built into the platformfor practical enterprise deployment
SmartSpace is deployed on Microsoft Azure. Your data stays within your Azure environment. Identity, access, and integration controls are part of the platform so organisations can deploy with confidence.

Security in the SmartSpace model
The security model covers four areas: deployment and environment, identity and access, integration and API security, and oversight. Each is part of the platform rather than added separately.
Secure deployment inside your Azure environment
SmartSpace is deployed inside your own Azure subscription. Your data stays within your Azure environment. Deployment is aligned with your existing Azure security foundations rather than introducing a separate layer to manage.
- Deployed inside your own Azure subscription
- Your data stays within your Azure environment
- Network and access controls aligned with Azure deployment
- Encryption supported through Azure security capabilities
- Data residency aligned with your chosen Azure region
Built-in identity and access controls
Access is managed through your existing identity infrastructure. SmartSpace supports enterprise SSO and MFA, with role-based and fine-grained access controls consistent with how your organisation already manages access.
- Enterprise identity and access controls
- Role-based access control at workspace and data source level
- Multi-factor authentication support
- Single Sign-On across the platform
- Fine-grained permissions at the workspace level
- Dynamic access controls updated in real time
- Access management aligned with your existing identity setup
Secure integration and API access
Secure API access
API connections to data sources and line-of-business systems use token-based authentication. Access is controlled and scoped to what each integration requires.
Data connector controls
Each data connector is scoped to the workspace it serves. Access is limited to approved sources only. Connectors cannot read across workspace boundaries.
Works with your existing security setup
SmartSpace is deployed on Azure, so your existing Azure security capabilities apply. Security controls extend rather than duplicate what your organisation already manages.
Controlled data access
Data access is managed through your Azure environment. Connectivity to sensitive workloads follows the access controls and policies you already have in place.
Monitoring and oversight built in
Security teams need visibility, not just controls. SmartSpace provides monitoring, logging, and oversight capabilities that work within your existing Azure environment.
Audit logging
Interactions, queries, and data access are logged within your Azure environment. Compliance and security teams have a record of platform activity for review.
Usage monitoring
Visibility into access patterns, usage volumes, and policy events across workspaces. Your security team can review activity without needing direct platform access.
Output and access controls
Model outputs and data access are managed through the controls configured within your environment. Governance rules apply at the workspace level.
Compliance alignment
SmartSpace is designed to support enterprise security requirements. Deployment documentation is available to help organisations review the platform with confidence.
Built to support enterprise security requirements
Security and access controls are part of the platform. Organisations can review the deployment model, understand how data is handled, and roll out with confidence.
Supports security review before deployment
The deployment model, identity controls, and data handling approach are documented. Organisations can review how SmartSpace operates within their environment before going live.
IT retains full control
Your team configures access, manages connectors, and sets policies. SmartSpace does not override or abstract away your existing controls.
Users get governed access, not open access
Business users interact through governed workspaces with the permissions their role requires. Access to data and model capabilities is controlled from the start.
Designed for practical enterprise rollout
Security and access controls are built into the platform. Organisations can deploy SmartSpace within their existing enterprise security requirements.
Related, but distinct
Security and governance are complementary layers in the SmartSpace platform. Both are built in from day one, but they address different concerns. Governance has its own dedicated page.
Security
- Deployment inside your Azure environment
- Identity and access controls
- Encryption and key management
- Network isolation
- API and integration security
- Monitoring, logging, and audit
Governance
- Policy configuration and enforcement
- Output filtering and content rules
- Data quality and source management
- Retention schedules and archiving
- Reporting for compliance teams
- Workspace-level governance rules
Deployed on Azure. Aligned with Azure security.
SmartSpace is deployed on Microsoft Azure. Your existing Azure security capabilities apply to SmartSpace without requiring a separate security architecture. The platform operates within your Azure environment and your existing controls.
SmartSpace is available on the Azure Marketplace, supporting procurement through your existing Microsoft agreement.
