  • Automated security scanning in CI/CD pipeline
  • Dependency updates checked with safety tool
  • Static analysis with bandit for Python security issues

Model Security

  • Whisper models are loaded from official sources
  • Translation models from Hugging Face undergo community review
  • No model weights are modified or redistributed
