Security at North Idaho AI

Enterprise-grade security for AI solutions built on your own Abacus.AI infrastructure

North Idaho AI designs and implements AI solutions on top of your own Abacus.AI account. You own the Abacus tenant, your data, and your deployed models. We design and operate the AI workflows inside that environment.

Security is handled at two levels:

Platform security – Abacus.AI's enterprise-grade security and compliance program.
Solution security – How North Idaho AI designs data flows, access, and guardrails for your specific use cases.

Solution Security (How North Idaho AI Builds on Abacus.AI)

We're responsible for solution design, data flows, feature usage, and guardrails.

Tenant Isolation & Access

  • •Each client has their own Abacus.AI tenant—no shared infrastructure or data commingling
  • •North Idaho AI works inside your tenant with accounts/roles you provision
  • •Access can be removed by admins at any time

Data Classification & Minimization

  • •We work with your team to classify data (internal, confidential, regulated)
  • •Workflows are designed to use minimum data required
  • •When appropriate, mask or redact personal identifiers

Guardrails for Prompts, Documents & Retrieval

  • •Define "safe use of AI" rules—what's off-limits
  • •Pre-process documents to remove PII/PHI when needed
  • •Access scopes by role and project
  • •RAG pipelines that respect data segmentation

Logging, Observability & Lifecycle

  • •We encourage logging of assistant usage, data source access, and project changes
  • •At end of engagement, archive or delete datasets as appropriate
  • •Align data retention with your corporate policies
