Security
How the platform is built to keep one organization's data away from every other organization — and how to tell us if you find a way around it.
Last updated 21 September 2026
Tenant isolation
Every record in Intellia belongs to an organization. Chatbots, knowledge sources, embeddings, conversations and leads are all scoped to a single tenant, and that scope is enforced at the data access layer rather than being left to individual queries to remember.
Permissions are also evaluated per organization, so a person who belongs to two workspaces holds the rights of each one separately.
Access control
Access is role-based: Owner, Admin and Member, each with a distinct permission set. Sensitive operations — managing members, deleting an organization — are permission-checked on the server, not merely hidden in the interface.
An organization must always retain at least one Owner, which prevents a workspace from being orphaned.
The public surface
The widget is the only part of the platform an anonymous visitor can reach. It is addressed by a per-chatbot UUID that grants nothing except the ability to converse with that one chatbot, and only while it is live. A conversation can only be continued by the browser that started it. Public endpoints are rate limited per IP.
A draft chatbot is not reachable publicly even if its widget is already installed.
Data protection
All traffic is served over TLS. Passwords are stored as salted hashes and are never recoverable. API access uses bearer tokens that you can revoke by signing out.
Content retrieved from your knowledge sources is passed to the model as reference material only, never as instructions, which limits what text planted in a document or web page can do.
AI-specific risks
Answers are grounded in your own knowledge base, which narrows — but does not eliminate — the risk of a confidently wrong answer. Chatbots are instructed to say they don't know rather than guess, and the questions they couldn't answer are surfaced to you as knowledge gaps so you can close them.
Your content is not used to train foundation models.
Reporting a vulnerability
If you believe you have found a security issue, tell us before telling anyone else. Send the details — what you found, how to reproduce it, and what you were able to reach — through the contact form, marking it as a security report.
We will acknowledge within three working days and keep you updated until it is resolved. We will not pursue action against researchers who report in good faith, stay within their own test workspace, avoid accessing other customers' data, and give us reasonable time to fix the issue.
Certifications
We do not currently hold SOC 2, ISO 27001 or equivalent third-party certification, and we would rather say so plainly than imply otherwise. If your procurement process requires formal attestation, talk to us about what your timeline needs — we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.
