•Audit trails: Capture all actions and decisions made by your Cerbos policies, ensuring compliance with standards like ISO27001 and SOC2.
•Low-latency: Make decisions locally at runtime in sub-milliseconds without requiring cloud lookups.
•Flexible deployment models: Self-hosted, compatible with air-gapped environments, and deployable with serverless functions or a sidecar model.
