chat.xpander.ai and your agents run. The runtime controls are the same as in every deployment: see Security Architecture.
Architecture
xpander cloud. xpander operates the control plane (xpander Chat, identity, agent registry, skills catalog) and the data plane (the execution tier, the agent-controller's skill relay, PostgreSQL, Redis). LLM providers and the systems your skills reach sit outside and are reached from the data plane.
The
deployment_type field in the List Agents API still reads serverless.
Identity and access
RBAC governs who may build, deploy and use agents. API keys are scoped and revocable. Audit logs record skill calls, data access and configuration changes (the record). Every control on Govern lives in xpander Chat.Encryption and data handling
xpander.ai is SOC 2 Type II certified (Security, Availability, Confidentiality), with the report under NDA. ISO 27001, HIPAA and FedRAMP are in progress. See Certifications & Compliance.
