Verbaco™ Architecture
The Verbaco™ system architecture is designed from the ground up to meet the rigorous demands of public sector and enterprise-grade AI deployments. From secure ingress and encrypted APIs to multilingual AI and modular automation, every layer is engineered for resilience, scalability, and control.
High-Level Architecture Overview
Verbaco™ consists of five key layers:
- User Interface Layer
- Web, mobile, or embedded front-end
- Optional Teams or Slack connectors
- Supports branded UI and multilingual input
- AI and NLP Engine
- OpenAI-backed response generation
- Contextual memory and fallback routing
- Translation layer with user locale detection
- Knowledge and Retrieval Layer
- Embedding + vector store (via Azure, Redis, or Weaviate)
- Secure document processing with source referencing
- Controlled knowledge domains per bot/user role
- Automation & Integration Layer
- n8n workflow engine for no-code logic and API calls
- Integrates REST, GraphQL, SOAP, Azure services
- Conditional logic, branching, and response shaping
- Infrastructure & Security Layer
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster
- Azure API Management (APIM) for routing and auth
- HTTPS via DigiCert and cert-manager
- Ingress isolation and firewalling
- RBAC, audit logging, container scanning
Deployment Architecture
- Cloud Native: Azure-native stack with scalable nodes
- Ingress Security: All traffic encrypted via HTTPS, ingress controllers with isolation
- API Gateway: Azure APIM handles versioning, throttling, and authentication
- Data Privacy: PII redaction options, optional data residency controls
- Observability: Integrated logs, telemetry, alerting, and usage dashboards
Security Framework
We apply a STRIDE threat model across all services:
- Spoofing: API token verification and auth headers
- Tampering: Immutable logs and container image signing
- Repudiation: Full audit trail of workflows and LLM responses
- Information Disclosure: TLS 1.3, encrypted secrets
- Denial of Service: Rate limiting via APIM
- Elevation of Privilege: Role-based access control, scoped API keys
Compliance-Ready
Verbaco™ is aligned with:
- NCSC Cloud Security Principles
- GDPR and UK Data Protection Act
- ISO 27001 hosting standards
- Optional private hosting or on-prem installation
