A practical guide to securing enterprise Weaviate deployments, told through the story of a fictional health-tech company (MedVector) preparing for a HIPAA audit. Covers OIDC integration with identity providers (Okta, Entra ID, Auth0), granular role-based access control with least-privilege policies, OIDC group mapping for automatic provisioning and revocation, multi-tenant data isolation within shared collections, audit logging for compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2), and network security via PrivateLink and TLS. Also compares Weaviate Cloud Shared vs. Dedicated tiers and introduces the Weaviate Assurance support package for self-hosted deployments.
