Compliance

Your data never leaves your cloud

Sampleless deploys entirely within your cloud environment. Your telemetry data is collected, processed, stored, and queried inside your VPC. This architecture keeps the heaviest compliance obligations where they belong: within your existing environment.

Full data custody

Instead of trusting a third-party vendor with your data, you retain full custody. Your existing cloud provider agreements, IAM policies, encryption configurations, and network controls remain the foundation of your compliance posture.

Sampleless extends your observability capabilities without expanding your data exposure.

Shared Responsibility Model

Compliance is shared between Sampleless, your organization, and your cloud provider. Our BYOC architecture keeps data custody with you.

  • Control plane security (no telemetry transmitted)
  • Business Associate Agreements
  • Incident response procedures

Your Organization

  • IAM policies and network configuration
  • VPC isolation and encryption settings

Cloud Provider

  • Physical security and data centers
  • Infrastructure availability (SLA)
  • Platform compliance certifications
  • Hardware lifecycle management

Regulatory Framework Support

Our dual-write pipeline (queryable analytics alongside immutable archival storage) supports both real-time access and tamper-proof long-term retention.

These are architectural capabilities that support your compliance program, not a claim that Sampleless alone satisfies any regulatory framework.
