A transparent disclosure of our architecture, compliance alignment, threat mitigation strategy, and accountability framework for AI agent deployments in India.
This whitepaper documents the security architecture and compliance posture of all AI agents designed, deployed, and maintained by MudraForge — a boutique AI infrastructure agency based in Assam, India.
This document applies to:
Disclosure: MudraForge follows ISO 27001-aligned information security practices. We are not yet ISO 27001 certified. This whitepaper serves as a transparent record of our current security posture and compliance roadmap.
Every MudraForge agent operates on a Three-Layer Sovereign Architecture designed to separate concerns, limit blast radius, and provide full auditability.

All traffic enters through Cloudflare Workers deployed on India-region Points of Presence. This layer handles TLS termination, adaptive rate limiting, input sanitization against known injection patterns, and session token management.
The core intelligence layer routes queries to the optimal model based on task type, latency requirements, and fallback conditions. No single model is a dependency. See Section 03 and Section 05 for details.
Every interaction is logged with a timestamp, session hash, model used, input/output pair, and a Deviation Score. This immutable audit trail powers weekly logic reviews and is available for regulatory inspection upon request.
MudraForge does not depend on a single AI model. We operate a Multi-Model Reasoning Stack where each model serves a distinct purpose:
| Model | Role | Inference Region | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini Flash | Primary reasoning, search grounding, agentic logic | Google Cloud India (Mumbai/Delhi) | Active |
| Sarvam-M | Indic language precision, cultural context, sovereign fallback | Sarvam India Infrastructure | Active |
| Claude (Anthropic) | Constitutional safety verification, compliance auditing | Anthropic India (Bengaluru) | Planned Q2 2026 |
| Edge-Lite (2B Params) | Low-latency fallback for rural/2G connections | Cloudflare Edge KV (India) | Planned Q3 2026 |
Principle: We use global models for reasoning power, but all inference happens within Indian data centers. The intelligence is global; the data residency is sovereign.
MudraForge aligns with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its associated Rules (released November 2025). Full compliance is mandated by May 12, 2027. We are ahead of schedule.
All inference calls are routed to India-region endpoints. PII never leaves Indian jurisdiction.
Cloudflare Workers execute on India PoPs (Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai). Google Gemini API calls are
routed
to asia-south1 (Mumbai) and asia-south2 (Delhi) regions.
MudraForge contractually ensures that no client conversation data is used for model training by any upstream provider. This is enforced via:
Every agent deployed by MudraForge displays a First-Interaction Notice informing the end-user that they are communicating with an AI agent. Continued interaction constitutes informed consent as per DPDP Section 6. Clients are provided with a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) template as part of the onboarding package.
MudraForge agents are designed for zero-downtime resilience. If any model in the stack becomes unavailable, the system automatically degrades gracefully through a multi-tier failover chain.
Sovereign Failover Promise: If geopolitical events or policy changes restrict access to any foreign model, MudraForge can transition all clients to Indian-only models (Sarvam, IndiaAI Foundation Models) within 24 hours. All client knowledge bases are stored in a Portable Vector Format for instant model migration.
The Detective Engine is MudraForge's proprietary Deterministic Verification Layer that checks every AI output against the client's business rules before delivery.
The Detective Engine does not "auto-learn." Every deviation is reviewed by a MudraForge engineer during weekly Logic Patching sessions. Based on the review, the system instructions are refined to prevent recurrence. This ensures the agent becomes more accurate over time without the risks of unsupervised self-learning.
Clients receive a monthly "Agent Health Report" summarizing:
MudraForge classifies incoming interactions through a multi-tier threat assessment system. Each interaction is scored in real-time and routed through escalating response protocols based on the assessed risk level — from standard processing for legitimate queries, through de-escalation for frustrated users, to advanced containment for coordinated attack patterns.
For high-confidence malicious interactions, MudraForge employs proprietary containment protocols designed to neutralize the threat while preserving forensic evidence. The system maintains session continuity to avoid alerting the attacker while securing all necessary data for post-incident analysis.
MudraForge operates a "Privacy-First, Safety-Second" protocol:
Privacy Safeguard: Rudeness and curiosity are NEVER reported or flagged. Only verified malicious intent — confirmed by our proprietary confidence scoring system — triggers incident protocols. We do not perform mass surveillance. We perform targeted defense.
MudraForge operates under a "Designated Deployer" model. Unlike SaaS platforms that shift all liability to the client, we share accountability for the technical performance and safety of every agent we deploy.
| Domain | MudraForge Responsibility | Client Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Agent Logic & Reasoning | Full ownership. Weekly patching. | Provide accurate business rules. |
| Data Security & Encryption | Full ownership. AES-256 + TLS 1.3. | Secure access to their own dashboards. |
| DPDP Compliance | Technical compliance (data residency, consent, retention). | Legal compliance (Data Fiduciary registration, grievance officer). |
| Model Hallucination Handling | Detective Engine + Logic Audit. | Review monthly Agent Health Reports. |
| Malicious Intent Response | Detection, recording, and reporting. | Decide on follow-up actions (legal, block user). |
| Uptime & Failover | Multi-model failover, proactive monitoring. | None (MudraForge handles all infrastructure). |
| Standard / Regulation | Status | Notes |
