MOD-009 · Evidence & ProofPlanned
Security / IP Clerk
The Security / IP Clerk reviews security, data, vendor, dependency, license, and IP risk across Software 4 All lanes. It protects the founder from false confidence, hidden legal / security exposure, and unsafe public or investor claims.
What it does
- Maintain the License / IP Register and AI Tool / Vendor Register.
- Flag unknown, high-risk, or unclear licenses and vendor terms.
- Review data classification, secrets, production data, and DO_NOT_EXPORT material.
- Block or downgrade unsupported claim words.
- Create human expert escalation cards when AI / CTO cannot decide.
- Produce Security / IP Clerk verdicts for relevant lanes and PRs.
What it never does
- Never give legal advice or final license approval.
- Never claim a system is secure, compliant, or production-ready.
- Never approve open-source use when license / IP risk is unknown or high.
- Never modify code, merge PRs, deploy, or change FounderGate safety rules.
Roadmap
Build phases
This module is delivered in disciplined phases. Each phase is proof-gated before the next begins — the light shows the intended flow, not completion.
- Manual license / IP register
- Secret handling & data classification review
- Dependency & copied-code review
- AI tool / vendor register
- Security / IP verdict workflow
- Claim blocker engine
- Expert escalation packet
- Merge gate integration
- Minimal SBOM & vulnerability review
