Enterprise-Grade Security by Design
Security-First Architecture
Sherpa is built with modern security controls across infrastructure, data handling, and access management to meet enterprise and regulated-industry expectations.
Key principles include:
-
Encrypted data in transit and at rest
-
Strict access controls and role-based permissions
-
Segregation of customer data
-
Continuous monitoring and logging
-
Secure cloud infrastructure with least-privilege access
Security is not an add-on — it is foundational.

Privacy-First Data Governance
Your Data Stays Yours
Sherpa follows strict data-minimization and privacy principles.
We do not:
-
Sell customer data
-
Train public AI models on your data
-
Use personal data beyond its intended purpose
Customer data is used only to deliver insights within your organization, under clearly defined contractual terms.
Transparent, Explainable AI (No Black Boxes)
Explainability Through R.A.G. AI
Sherpa uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (R.A.G.) AI, meaning every response is generated only after retrieving approved, auditable context.
This allows organizations to:
-
Understand why an answer was generated
-
Trace responses back to motivation science and contextual data
-
Avoid hallucinations and uncontrolled outputs
-
Maintain auditability and accountability
AI decisions should be understandable — especially when people are involved.
Ethical AI: Human-Centered by Design
AI That Supports Human Judgment
Sherpa is designed to guide, not replace, human decision-making.
Ethical principles include:
-
No automated hiring or firing decisions
-
No opaque scoring or hidden profiling
-
No behavioral manipulation
-
Human-in-the-loop for all high-impact decisions
Sherpa reveals motivation patterns — it does not dictate outcomes.
Governance & Organizational Control
Built for HR, IT, and Legal Oversight
Sherpa follows strict data-minimization and privacy principles.
Sherpa supports organizational governance through:
-
Role-based access and permissions
-
Defined usage boundaries by function
-
Organizational-level controls and visibility
-
Clear ownership of data and insights
-

Understand how Sherpa fits enterprise oversight models.

-
Leadership development
-
Engagement and retention

Team dynamics

Organizational design
