Governance by design

Trust cannot be added after deployment

Identity, access, evidence and information lifecycle controls are part of the platform architecture — so governance follows the work instead of trailing it as a checklist.

Governance by design

Trust cannot be added after deployment.

ALFO embeds identity, access, evidence and information lifecycle controls into the platform architecture so governance follows the work—not a separate checklist after the fact.

  • Role-based access, MFA and single sign-on through enterprise identity.
  • Complete audit history across versions, workflow, approvals, signatures and decisions.
  • Retention, legal holds, disposition controls and evidentiary records.
  • Tenant isolation, encryption, logging, backups and deployment governance.

Identity & access

SSO, MFA, roles, groups and least-privilege access.

Audit evidence

Versions, approvals, acknowledgements, signatures and history.

Security controls

Encryption, isolation, key management and operational logging.

Information lifecycle

Retention, legal holds, disposition and defensible records.

The four control areas

What “governed” actually means here.

Identity and access control

Access follows enterprise identity rather than a separate directory maintained inside the application.

  • Single sign-on and MFA through Entra ID or your existing identity provider
  • Role, group and least-privilege permissions applied at content and process level
  • External participant access scoped to exactly what a case or transaction requires

Evidence that survives an audit

Every material action is recorded as evidence at the time it happens — not reconstructed afterwards.

  • Version history for every document, form and contract
  • Approvals, acknowledgements and signatures captured with actor, time and context
  • Workflow decisions, exceptions and escalations retained as part of the record

Retention, holds and defensible disposition

Retention is driven by classification, so records are kept and destroyed on schedule instead of by habit.

  • Retention schedules applied automatically by content classification
  • Legal holds that suspend disposition across every affected record
  • Reviewed, evidenced disposition rather than silent deletion

Platform and data protection

Governance extends to how the platform itself is operated, isolated and recovered.

  • Tenant isolation, encryption in transit and at rest, and key management
  • Operational logging, monitoring and backup with tested recovery
  • Deployment governance across SaaS, private cloud, enterprise cloud and on-premises
