What is tenant isolation and why B2B SaaS needs it?

In B2B SaaS, each company should be treated as a separate tenant. A user from company A must not see company B's documents, usage, billing or settings.

Isolation must exist in database queries, storage paths, authorization checks and background jobs. UI separation alone is not enough if backend queries can cross organization boundaries.

Audit logs and permission tests help catch regressions. For sensitive document workflows, tenant isolation is foundational before discussing AI models or OCR.
