Security at Lumi

Protecting your data is fundamental to everything we do. Lumi is built on a security-first architecture with industry-leading certifications, encryption, and compliance controls — designed to support regulated environments including GxP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and audit-ready workflows.

Certifications & Compliance

HIPAASupports HIPAA compliance — BAAs available for healthcare customers
ISO 42001:2023In progress — Responsible AI governance

Data Protection

  • Encrypted at rest using AES-256 across all storage and backups
  • Encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+ for all platform communications and SRTP for video streaming
  • Data hosted in AWS EU-West (Ireland) by default, with regional controls available for enterprise deployments
  • High availability across multiple availability zones
  • Full audit logging retained for compliance and forensic purposes

Platform Architecture

  • Logical tenant isolation across all customer environments — no cross-customer data access
  • Video data processed in real-time with long-term storage configurable per customer
  • AI outputs stored as structured metadata — raw video access restricted to authorised compliance and audit roles
  • Configurable data retention — customers set retention periods to match their regulatory requirements
  • On-premises deployment options available for enterprise environments requiring local data residency

Customer Control

Lumi is designed to give customers full control over their deployment:

  • You control retention — set data retention periods per your regulatory requirements
  • You control AI — choose which AI capabilities are active, configure parameters, and disable any agent at any time
  • You control access — manage your own users, roles, and permissions within your workspace
  • You control data — request export or deletion at any time per our Data Processing Agreement

AI Transparency

Lumi uses artificial intelligence to observe and analyse laboratory work processes. We are committed to responsible AI:

  • No facial recognition — Lumi does not identify individuals
  • No emotion recognition — Lumi does not analyse emotional states
  • Advisory outputs only — all AI results require human review before action
  • User control — customers configure which AI capabilities are active and can disable them at any time
  • Transparency — AI is Lumi’s core feature, not a hidden capability. Users interact with AI agents directly.

Access Control

  • Role-based access control enforced across the platform, with SSO and SAML-based identity provider integration for enterprise customers
  • Multi-factor authentication required for privileged access
  • Quarterly access reviews across all systems
  • Least-privilege access — granted based on job function only
  • Access revoked within 24 hours of employee departure

Security Testing

  • Annual penetration testing by a CREST-certified provider. Most recent result: Secure — zero critical, high, or medium findings.
  • Continuous automated scanning integrated into every code deployment — builds fail automatically on high-severity vulnerabilities
  • Dependency monitoring with automatic alerts and updates for vulnerable packages

Incident Response

  • Documented incident response plan with GDPR and HIPAA-specific procedures
  • 72-hour regulatory notification for GDPR-reportable breaches
  • 24-hour customer notification for HIPAA breach events
  • Regular tabletop exercises to validate recovery procedures
  • No material security incidents resulting in customer data exposure to date
