# Security and Risk Controls

The Issuance & Operation Layer inherits a robust security operating model and extends it to product-level issuance and operations. While this infrastructure provides rigorous safeguards, it does not make the underlying assets risk-free. Products still carry market risk, liquidity risk, strategy risk, oracle risk, smart contract risk, counterparty risk, legal risk, and operational risk.

To mitigate these risks, Venzo enforces strict product-level security controls:

<table><thead><tr><th width="209.33203125">Control</th><th>Purpose</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Component Whitelisting</td><td>Restricts products exclusively to approved TaaS products, verified VaaS vaults, and whitelisted external components.</td></tr><tr><td>Product Mandate Enforcement</td><td>Prevents managers from changing assets, weights, venues, leverage, liquidity terms, or fees outside the approved rule set.</td></tr><tr><td>Issuance Controls</td><td>Links product tokens, receipts, shares, or position records strictly to approved registry entries, eligibility logic, NAV sources, and redemption terms.</td></tr><tr><td>NAV Signer Quorum</td><td>Requires multiple authorized valuation signers before a product-level NAV becomes authoritative.</td></tr><tr><td>Deviation and Freshness Checks</td><td>Automatically flags abnormal NAV moves, stale component data, missing reports, or inconsistent component pricing.</td></tr><tr><td>Status Propagation</td><td>If an underlying component is paused, impaired, expired, or deemed ineligible, the overarching product status updates automatically.</td></tr><tr><td>Role Separation</td><td>Strictly separates the roles of issuer, manager, NAV signer, whitelist manager, verifier, guardian, and governance participants.</td></tr><tr><td>Fee Visibility</td><td>Transparently displays management fees, performance fees, entry/exit fees, and fee layering before any subscription occurs.</td></tr><tr><td>Emergency Pause</td><td>Allows deposits, redemptions, rebalancing, issuance, or transfers to be paused immediately during abnormal market, oracle, strategy, or security events.</td></tr><tr><td>Disclosure Versioning</td><td>Links each product to its current methodology, risk disclosure, component list, fee schedule, and material updates.</td></tr><tr><td>Look-Through Reporting</td><td>Allows integrators and participants to inspect product-level exposure and the real-time status of underlying components.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://venzofinance.gitbook.io/venzofinance-docs/security-and-risk-controls/security-and-risk-controls.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
