How Loqet Shield works

This page is for technical buyers who want to understand the operating model before trusting a new security product with workspace access. The design goal is simple: read only what is needed to build a non-human identity inventory, risk it accurately, and surface evidence without introducing a heavy deployment model.

Your tools

Slack, GitHub, and other systems provide inventory metadata through OAuth connections.

OAuth connection

Read-only access is used to enumerate apps, scopes, identities, and credential posture.

Loqet scan engine

The engine builds an identity graph, normalizes findings, and maps ownership gaps.

Risk analysis

Findings are scored for severity, credential age, and remediation priority.

Dashboard

Security teams review risks, generate evidence, and guide remediation from one workspace view.

What data we read, and what we never touch

The security model should be understandable. The product is meant to reduce uncertainty, not add another black box to your environment.

What we read
  • Connected app names, scopes, and installation metadata
  • Machine identity and bot inventory data
  • Credential age, rotation timing, and ownership metadata
  • Risk posture signals used to produce scan results and evidence
What we never access
  • Message bodies or direct message content as part of the core scan flow
  • Source code repositories cloned into Loqet infrastructure by default
  • Raw secrets stored as a long-term credential vault
  • Infrastructure agents or code changes installed into your environment

Integration directory

Current coverage is centered on the places where non-human identity risk accumulates first. Additional integrations should expand the same operating model rather than invent a separate one.

Live

Slack

App inventory, bot visibility, OAuth scope review, and workspace risk analysis.

Live

GitHub

Automation identities, repository-linked credentials, and workflow-related exposure signals.

Coming soon

Google Workspace

Service account inventory and app access posture for workspace-connected systems.

Coming soon

AWS

IAM role and machine identity posture designed for cloud-side NHI governance.

Compliance posture

SOC 2 support

In progress

The product generates evidence aligned to access-control conversations, but formal certification claims should remain conservative until completed.

Security review posture

Operational

The product is designed around read-only initial access, explicit remediation actions, and limited data retention for scan workflows.

Audit transparency

Available now

Teams can review what was scanned, when it was scanned, and which controls or findings were derived from that run.

Data retention policy

Loqet Shield should behave like an operational security product, not like a system that hoards more information than it needs. The retained layer is centered on scan history, risk comparison, and audit support.

Instant scan results

Kept so teams can compare posture over time and revisit prior findings.

Credential posture summaries

Retained as part of scan history rather than as a secret-management database.

Evidence artifacts

Stored long enough to support ongoing audits and compliance workflows.

Connection data

Maintained while the workspace remains connected and the customer account remains active.

Operational model

Built for fast evaluation, explicit access, and auditable change.

The guiding principle is that technical buyers should understand what is connected, what is being read, and what state is being preserved before the product ever becomes part of a security workflow.
