SECURITY & GOVERNANCE
Auditability first, with enterprise security built in.
This layer is about proving what happened, controlling who can do what, and meeting enterprise security expectations without turning governance into a separate project. Traceability, usage visibility, access controls, SSO, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 Type II all support that goal.
For most teams, the real question is not just whether SEQUESTO is secure. It is whether SEQUESTO stays reviewable, controllable, and defensible as work moves through it.
AUDITABILITY
Full auditability.
Auditability is the centre of this layer. Teams need to know what happened, which documents or inputs were involved, and how work moved from intake to submission without having to reconstruct the story later.
Activity can be followed across documents, tasks, and approvals as part of the normal work record.
Auditability is more useful when it captures context and sequence, not just timestamps.
SEQUESTO should make oversight easier, not push teams into manual evidence gathering.
USAGE VISIBILITY
Usage tracking.
Governance also needs a live view of how SEQUESTO is being used. Usage tracking helps teams understand adoption, spot unusual patterns, and manage the operating health of the system over time.
Usage data helps teams understand where the system is becoming embedded and where support is still needed.
Visibility into how people and agents use SEQUESTO supports better management decisions.
Tracking helps organisations catch changes in behaviour before they become bigger issues.
ACCESS CONTROL
Full user access management configuration.
Access management needs to reflect how real organisations work. This layer supports user- and role-based control so the right people can reach the right work without broadening access just to make the system usable.
Teams can shape access around the responsibilities different contributors actually have.
People should be able to do their job without inheriting unnecessary exposure to unrelated work.
The access model should keep working as more people, projects, and stakeholders come into SEQUESTO.
ENTERPRISE SECURITY
SSO, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and data security.
Security expectations still matter, and this layer supports them directly. SSO and enterprise controls reduce operational friction, while certifications and data-protection measures help organisations assess SEQUESTO with confidence.
Authentication can fit enterprise identity requirements instead of standing apart from them.
Independent controls and certification signals help teams evaluate SEQUESTO faster and more confidently.
Each customer chooses EU or US hosting when the account is created. Documents, knowledge and activity records are stored there, and the AI that works on them runs in the same region.

Data & Integrations
This layer brings source systems, dashboards, MCP-based extensions, and custom APIs into SEQUESTO so teams can work inside SEQUESTO aOS without disconnecting from SharePoint, Teams and the rest of their operating environment.
