# Secure Multi-Tenant RAG
A production-style RAG system where multiple tenants share a single deployment but are **fully isolated at the retrieval layer** — not just in the prompt.
Tenant identity comes from a validated JWT claim and is applied as a hard filter on every pgvector query. There is no code path that can return cross-tenant data. A prompt injection eval suite verifies this automatically.
**Eval results:** 15/15 grounding (100%) · 0/10 cross-tenant leaks (0%)

**Key security invariant:** `tenant_id` is extracted exclusively from the validated JWT — never from the request body, query params, or headers. Every pgvector query has the tenant filter applied unconditionally.
## Tenants (Demo)
| Tenant | Domain | Sample questions |
|---|---|---|
| **NovaPay** | Fintech / Payments | Fees, chargebacks, fraud detection, API auth |
| **MediLink** | Health-tech | Appointments, telehealth, prescriptions, billing |
| **CodeNest** | Dev Tools / Eng KB | Deployments, incidents, coding standards, on-call |
## Stack
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| API | FastAPI (Python 3.11) |
| Vector store | pgvector (PostgreSQL 16) |
| Embeddings | OpenAI `text-embedding-3-small` |
| Generation | OpenAI `gpt-4o-mini` (JSON mode) |
| Auth | JWT — `python-jose`, `tenant_id` in claims |
| Frontend | React 18 + Vite + Tailwind CSS |
| Dev infra | Docker Compose |
## Quick Start
**Prerequisites:** Docker Desktop, Python 3.11+, Node 18+, an OpenAI API key.
git clone https://github.com/AlfredoAtCPI/secure-multi-tenant-rag
cd secure-multi-tenant-rag
**1. Configure environment**
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set OPENAI_API_KEY
**2. Start the database**
docker compose up -d
**3. Install Python dependencies**
pip install -r requirements.txt
**4. Start the API**
uvicorn app.main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8001 --reload
**5. Seed tenant documents**
python seed/ingest_seed.py
**6. Start the frontend**
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:5173
## Running the Eval Suite
python eval/run_eval.py
Output:
============================================================
GOLDEN QA -- grounding + citation checks
============================================================
[PASS] [novapay] What are the transaction fees for card-not-present payments?
...
============================================================
ISOLATION ATTACKS -- cross-tenant leak checks
============================================================
[PASS] cross-tenant: novapay asks about medilink appointments
Keywords mentioned in denial (OK): ['medilink']
...
============================================================
EVAL SUMMARY
============================================================
Grounding + citation rate : 15/15 (100%)
Cross-tenant leak rate : 0/10 (0%) [target: 0%]
Overall : ALL PASS
============================================================
The eval distinguishes real data leaks from correct denial responses — a model saying "I don't have NovaPay information" is correct behavior, not a leak.
## Security Design
**Tenant isolation is enforced at the database layer:**
# app/db.py — tenant_id comes from validated JWT, not user input
rows = await conn.fetch(
"SELECT ... FROM documents WHERE tenant_id = $1 ORDER BY embedding <=> $2 LIMIT $3",
tenant_id, # from JWT claim only
embedding,
top_k,
)
**Prompt injection is tested, not assumed safe:**
The eval suite includes 10 adversarial attack cases:
- Direct cross-tenant data requests
- `SYSTEM:` override attempts
- Roleplay jailbreaks
- Tenant enumeration
- Social engineering ("my admin authorized this")
All 10 pass with 0% leak rate.
## LLM Response Design
Responses use OpenAI's JSON mode with schema validation and up to 3 automatic retries:
# app/rag.py
response_format={"type": "json_object"}
# → { "answer": "...", "relevant_source_ids": ["uuid1"] }
