Security engine

# Catch security regressions before the pen test does

Every build checks sign-in, sessions, headers, secrets and permissions, using the roles and screens your functional tests already know. No separate security suite.

[Book a demo](https://qventis.ai/contact#demo)[See trust and security](https://qventis.ai/platform/trust?hsLang=en)

- Checked on every build
- Role matrix built for you
- Secrets never in tests

**Viewers can't reach payroll admin**Security, 5 steps

1. Use the 'Sign in as viewer' flow
2. Open the 'Payroll admin' screen
3. Check that access is denied for role 'Viewer'
4. Check that header 'Strict-Transport-Security' is present
5. Check that the session ends after 15 minutes idle

## The quiet changes that open gaps

### Every build, not yearly

A new screen without a permission check or a debug header left on is caught on the next run.

### Roles defined once

The engine reads your roles from the App Model, so a new screen gets its permission checks the day it is added.

### Secrets stay vaulted

Steps name a secret by reference. Values come from your vault at run time and evidence redacts them.

## How the security engine works

ChecksSessions, headers, secrets, roles

Role matrixWho may reach what

SecretsReferences, never values

One model, one paneShared roles, one results view

### What gets checked

Most security regressions are ordinary changes. These checks run wherever your tests already go.

- Logout ends the session, idle timeouts hold and old tokens are refused
- Required headers such as Content-Security-Policy appear on every tested page
- Keys, tokens and passwords are flagged in pages, API bodies or headers
- Each role sees what it should and is refused what it shouldn't

[Runs inside functional tests](https://qventis.ai/engines/functional?hsLang=en)

### A matrix from your roles

The engine builds checks for every role against every screen and API it knows about.

| Screen or API | Viewer | Clerk | Manager |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Edit employee | Denied | Allowed | Allowed |
| Payroll admin | Denied | Denied | Allowed |
| GET /payroll/runs | Denied | Allowed | Allowed |

[Roles in the App Model](https://qventis.ai/one/app-model?hsLang=en)

### Secrets by reference

A step never holds a password, key or token. It names the secret, and the value is fetched at run time.

- Values come from your vault, never from the test
- Screenshots and logs redact secret values, so evidence is safe to share
- Secret access follows role-based access and audit

[Trust and security](https://qventis.ai/platform/trust?hsLang=en)

### One picture for release

Roles and screens are defined once in the [App Model](https://qventis.ai/one/app-model?hsLang=en), and findings map back to them.

- Checks run in the same flow as your functional tests
- Findings land in [Quality View](https://qventis.ai/one/quality-view?hsLang=en) next to functional results from the same run
- Nobody merges three reports before a release meeting

## Questions

Does this replace a penetration test?

No. It catches regressions in the controls you have on every build. Keep penetration tests and dedicated tools for depth.

Who can read the results?

Anyone on the release team. Each check is a sentence with a pass or a fail, mapped to its screen and role.

Where do secrets live?

In your vault. Steps hold a reference only, and evidence redacts values.

## See your access rules checked every build

Bring the roles and screens that worry you most, and leave with checks running against them.
