Trust the control plane around AI coding
RIVA helps organizations adopt AI-assisted development with a High-Assurance posture: local-first defaults, governed change, human authority, and evidence aligned to leading quality, secure-SDLC, and AI governance frameworks.
High-Assurance defaults
| Default | Outcome |
|---|---|
| No cloud upload / no non-local semantic path | Source stays in your environment |
| Sandboxed verification required | Checks run with a network-deny posture |
| Private / allowlisted model providers | Intelligence fits your policy |
| Standards-tagged evidence export | Faster security and audit conversations |
| Threat-review when rigor is high | Review before high-risk AI change advances |
| Human lock / approve | Authority stays with people, not the model |
How RIVA is designed to behave
- Local-first by default
- Repository analysis and verification start in your environment.
- Human authority
- Agents propose; gates and human approval decide what advances.
- Provenance over claims
- Model answers are not acceptance. Evidence is.
- Least privilege for AI work
- Scope by blast radius and handoff boundaries.
- Bring your own intelligence
- Use the models and editors your security posture allows.
What leaders can require
| Capability | What you get |
|---|---|
| High-Assurance Profile | Stricter sovereignty and gate defaults in one posture |
| Local-first workspace | Reduce exposure from exporting the estate by default |
| Isolation for verification | Network-deny / sandboxed execution for generated checks |
| Secret-aware evidence | Credentials kept out of shared reports |
| Tiered verification | Unit · Integration · Journey as one quality bar |
| Standards evidence pack | Gate results labeled to control themes security teams recognize |
| Multi-surface contract | Same prepare → gate → evidence path in IDE, MCP, and CI |
Alignment, not certification
RIVA is aligned with ISO/IEC 25010 and 25059, and maps its gates and evidence to NIST SSDF, SOC 2 CC6–CC8, NIST AI RMF, and selected ISO/IEC 27002 themes.
Alignment describes how RIVA’s product controls and evidence relate to recognized frameworks. It does not mean NVIRIA or your organization is certified, attested, or compliant under any standard solely by using RIVA. Formal certification requires your scope, organizational controls, and independent audit where applicable.
What RIVA is not
RIVA complements identity, SDLC, and AppSec tools. It does not replace IAM, SIEM, DLP, or penetration testing. It does not provide fully autonomous secure coding without human authority.
