| Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE) | The calculated total money a business could lose in one year if specific software vulnerabilities are exploited. Stored internally as whole-integer cents. |
| Billing Gate | A barrier that checks whether the monthly subscription paid successfully. Failed payment redirects you to a secure billing hold screen. |
| Compliance | Meeting legal and regulatory rules (for example SOC 2 or ISO 27001) to prove data is handled securely. |
| Data Processing Addendum (DPA) | A legal contract describing how the platform processes and protects corporate information. |
| Evidence Locker | Secure vault for audit records. Epic 12 WORM rules prevent deletion after seal. |
| Fixed dollar precision | Storing money as exact whole pennies instead of decimals, so financial reports never lose cents to rounding. |
| Hazard pipeline | Dashboard view of live risks from entry through automatic mitigation. |
| Ingress | Data entering the system from outside. Threat ingress passes Irongate sanitization. |
| Quarantine | Temporarily locking a user or record until verification completes. |
| Sentinel (Ironsight) | Agent-8 in the Command Post left panel — a tactical, read-only risk scanner. Operators type a natural-language instruction and run a Sentinel sweep to produce a readiness checklist against tenant-scoped threats without writing to the ALE ledger. Not the same as the public constitutional integrity sentinel APIs that poll TAS health on marketing surfaces. |
| Telemetry | Live operational measurements sent into monitoring dashboards. |
| Tenant isolation | Security boundary ensuring one company's data is invisible to all other tenants on the platform. |
| WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) | Save a record once; no one can modify or delete it afterward — preserving audit trails. |
