Security Appendix

Effective Date: April 2026

1. Security Model

Forge is designed as a distributed execution system with minimized trust assumptions.

2. Core Principles

least privilege access
isolation between workloads
deterministic execution
auditability

3. Infrastructure Security

encrypted communication
node isolation
secure orchestration

4. Data Protection

encryption at rest and in transit
fragmented storage
limited data exposure

5. Access Control

authentication required
role-based access where applicable
restricted internal access

6. Monitoring and Logging

audit logs
anomaly detection
execution tracking

7. Incident Response

Forge maintains processes for:

detection
containment
remediation

8. Vulnerability Management

ongoing updates
patching
monitoring

9. Third Parties

Third-party services are evaluated for security risk.

10. Limitations

No system is completely secure.

Forge minimizes risk through architecture.

Final Statement

Security in Forge is enforced structurally, not assumed.
