Platform Features

Every Tool You Need to Stay Compliant

From AI-powered analysis to automated document generation, Alternivite gives you complete visibility and control over your compliance posture.

Architecture

Multi-Tenancy

Every organization gets its own isolated workspace with dedicated data, users, and settings. Share the platform, never share data. Tenant boundaries are enforced at the database, API, and application layers.

  • Complete data isolation between organizations
  • Independent user directories per tenant
  • Custom branding and configuration per workspace
  • Scalable infrastructure that grows with your client base

Technical Highlights

Data Isolation

Row-level security with tenant IDs enforced at the ORM and database layer. No cross-tenant queries possible.

Scoped APIs

Every API request carries a tenant context token. Middleware validates scope before any data access.

Resource Limits

Per-tenant rate limits, storage quotas, and compute allocations prevent noisy-neighbor problems.

Tenant Admin

Self-service tenant settings for branding, SSO, notification preferences, and user management.

Security

Secure Uploads

Drag-and-drop your compliance documents with confidence. Every file is scanned, encrypted at rest, and stored in an isolated tenant bucket. Support for PDF, DOCX, CSV, XLSX, and image formats with automatic metadata extraction.

  • End-to-end encrypted file transfers with TLS 1.3
  • Malware and virus scanning on every upload
  • Automatic format detection and metadata extraction
  • Version history with full rollback capability

Technical Highlights
