NeuralTrust Architecture

NeuralTrust provides enterprise-grade AI security protection, testing, and vulnerability management through a distributed architecture designed for scalability, security, and performance. The platform operates with a unique data sovereignty model where your Data Plane runs entirely within your cloud environment while the Control Plane operates in NeuralTrust’s secure infrastructure.

High-Level Architecture

Data Plane Components (Your VPC)

The Data Plane operates entirely within your cloud environment, providing complete data sovereignty while delivering enterprise-grade AI capabilities.

DP API (Data Plane API)

Your DP API serves as the primary ingestion endpoint for AI monitoring data from your applications and systems. This high-performance service provides:
  • High-Throughput Ingestion: Handles millions of AI monitoring events per second with minimal latency
  • Real-Time Validation: Validates and enriches incoming data streams for immediate processing
  • Secure Authentication: Implements robust API key management and authentication mechanisms
  • Auto-Scaling: Automatically scales based on incoming data volume and processing demands

DP Worker (Background Processing)

The DP Worker performs all data processing operations within your environment, ensuring sensitive data never leaves your infrastructure:
  • Real-Time Analysis: Processes AI monitoring events for immediate insights and anomaly detection
  • Privacy-Preserving Analytics: Performs analysis while keeping raw data within your environment
  • Alert Generation: Triggers immediate alerts for critical AI security and performance events

DP Message Queue

The DP Message Queue provides reliable, high-performance message processing between Data Plane components:
  • Event Sourcing: Maintains complete audit trails of all AI monitoring events
  • Guaranteed Delivery: Ensures no data loss during processing with configurable durability
  • Stream Processing: Enables real-time data processing and analysis workflows
  • Backpressure Management: Automatically manages load balancing during traffic spikes

DP Database

Your DP Database stores all sensitive AI monitoring data within your controlled environment:
  • Complete Data Sovereignty: All raw AI monitoring data remains in your VPC
  • High-Performance Analytics: Optimized for real-time queries and complex analytics
  • Automated Encryption: All data encrypted at rest with your managed keys
  • Compliance Ready: Designed for GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and other regulatory requirements

Control Plane Components (NeuralTrust VPC)

The Control Plane provides centralized management, advanced AI security capabilities, and global insights while never accessing your raw data.

CP API (Control Plane API)

The CP API provides the backbone for all Control Plane operations and customer interactions:
  • Customer Portal Integration: Powers the NeuralTrust dashboard and customer interfaces
  • Multi-Tenant Architecture: Securely isolates customer environments and data
  • Global Orchestration: Coordinates across multiple customer Data Plane deployments

CP Application

The CP Application delivers the comprehensive NeuralTrust user experience:
  • Real-Time Dashboards: Interactive dashboards showing AI security and performance insights
  • Global Analytics: Cross-environment insights that don’t compromise individual data privacy
  • Alert Management: Centralized alert configuration and notification management

CP Scheduler

The CP Scheduler manages automated testing and monitoring operations:
  • TrustTest Job Scheduling: Schedules and orchestrates TrustTest execution jobs across customer environments
  • TrustScan Job Scheduling: Schedules and coordinates TrustScan security analysis jobs and vulnerability assessments
  • Metrics Check Scheduling: Coordinates periodic metrics checks for alert generation and monitoring
  • Automated Test Execution: Manages the timing and execution of AI testing and scanning workflows

CP Database

The CP Database stores only basic operational data for CRUD operations:
  • Zero Raw Data: Never stores customer’s sensitive AI monitoring data
  • Configuration Management: Stores system configurations and user preferences
  • User Management: Handles user accounts, permissions, and authentication data
  • Operational Metadata: Basic CRUD operations for system management and administration

Data Flow and Privacy Model

NeuralTrust’s architecture ensures complete data sovereignty while enabling comprehensive AI security protection, testing, and vulnerability management through privacy-preserving data flows.

AI Application Data Flow (Your Environment)

  1. AI ApplicationsTrustGate Gateway Service: AI applications route through the Gateway service for real-time validation against configured security policies
  2. TrustGate Gateway ServiceDP Queue: Validated and protected AI interaction data is written directly to the queue for processing
  3. DP QueueDP Worker: Workers process and analyze data while keeping everything in your VPC
  4. DP WorkerDP Database: All raw AI interaction data is stored in your controlled environment
Policy Management Flow:
  • TrustGate Admin Service: Configure security policies, routing rules, rate limits, and access controls that govern the Gateway service behavior

Cross-VPC Security Operations (Privacy-Safe Only)

Privacy-Preserving Security Analysis: NeuralTrust’s security products provide comprehensive AI security analysis through different operational models:
  • TrustTest: Operates in NeuralTrust Control Plane for comprehensive red teaming and testing capabilities
  • Local Analysis: TrustScan and AISPM perform analysis within your Data Plane using your complete data
  • Privacy-Safe Results: Only aggregated, anonymized security insights cross the VPC boundary
  • No Raw Data Transfer: Customer prompts, responses, and user data never leave your environment for vulnerability scanning and posture management
Security Product Operations:
  • TrustTest Red Teaming: Runs in NeuralTrust Control Plane to maintain centralized, up-to-date jailbreak database and threat intelligence
  • TrustScan Vulnerability Assessment: Conducts security scanning within your environment, shares only privacy-safe threat detection results
  • AISPM Posture Management: Scans your complete AI environment including cloud artifacts, Hugging Face models, MCP servers, and external AI service integrations to assess overall security posture and provide comprehensive risk metrics and improvement recommendations
Why TrustTest Runs in Control Plane TrustTest operates exclusively within NeuralTrust’s Control Plane infrastructure to maintain a centralized, continuously updated jailbreak database containing the latest AI attack techniques, prompt injection methods, and adversarial strategies. This centralized approach is critical because new jailbreak techniques emerge daily across the AI security landscape, and maintaining an up-to-date threat intelligence database requires continuous research, monitoring of security communities, and analysis of emerging attack vectors. By running TrustTest in our Control Plane, we ensure that all customers immediately benefit from the latest red teaming capabilities without each organization needing to independently research and catalog new attack methods. Our security research team continuously updates this database with novel jailbreak techniques, sophisticated prompt injection attacks, adversarial examples, and emerging AI vulnerabilities discovered across the global AI security community.
