Metadata only: our security promise

Ricky Sparks · July 20, 2026 · 7 min read

Some data tools ask for access to your rows to "monitor quality." That's solving the wrong problem and creating a new one.

VectorData is built around metadata: information_schema update times, job stats, bytes billed, dbt artifacts. Customer PII, order lines, and event payloads stay in your project.

Access is read-only. Prefer a dedicated service account with the narrowest roles that make monitoring work. If a vendor can't explain their IAM ask on one page, walk away.

We are not SOC 2 certified today. I'm not going to pretend otherwise on a marketing page. When we pursue it, it'll be because customers need it — not because a checklist looks good on a homepage.

Full breakdown: /security. Security reviewers can email hello@vectornosis.com and I'll walk a questionnaire line by line.
