Security & governance

Enterprise controls for procurement data and AI governance.

Mithra is designed for the security, governance, and auditability requirements of enterprise procurement environments. Human-in-the-loop AI review, regional data hosting, access controls, and full audit trails are standard, not optional add-ons.

Security and governance

Six pillars of enterprise-grade procurement data security

Data protection

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Data is isolated per customer, no shared data infrastructure between tenants.

Regional hosting

Data residency on your terms, including EU and UK hosting. If procurement data must stay in a jurisdiction, that's a standard deployment option.

Access controls

SSO via SAML 2.0 and OAuth 2.0. Role-based access controls define exactly who can view, review, approve, or export data. All access logged.

Audit trails

Every classification, supplier merge, taxonomy change, override, and export is logged with timestamp, user ID, and action detail. Exportable for review.

Human-in-the-loop governance

AI generates classifications and normalizations, it does not publish them automatically. Every output passes a structured review workflow. Humans take precedence.

AI model oversight

Customer-specific models tuned to your taxonomy and data patterns. Your data is never used to train shared models, a hard architectural constraint.

Responsible AI

Explainable AI, every decision with a reason code

Enterprise procurement can't operate on a black box. When a supplier is merged or a spend line is classified, the business needs to know why, not just what. Mithra's AI governance is built around three principles.

  • ExplainabilityEvery classification carries a 0–100% confidence score and a human-readable reason code.
  • ReviewabilityLow-confidence decisions and significant changes are surfaced in a review queue. Nothing goes live until approved.
  • AuditabilityEvery human override, and every AI decision left unchanged, is logged permanently for compliance.
