Intelligent Governance

Automate policy enforcement

Governance that enforces policies automatically while maintaining complete audit trails for compliance. With strong controls, you have the confidence to let AI build automation and run inside it.

Automated Guardrails

Policy-as-code

Harness Policy as Code provides centralized policy management using Open Policy Agent (OPA) to enforce governance across software delivery. Policies written as declarative code enable team autonomy with guardrails to maintain standards.

Approval requirements and security gates. Define approval requirements, security gates, deployment windows, and compliance rules that automatically enforce across all pipelines without manual intervention.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Control who does what

Fine-grained RBAC enforces separation of duties and controls user group access to resources through assigned roles.

Scoped role hierarchy. Pre-built roles at account, organization, and project levels give teams the right access without overprivileging.

Custom roles. Define roles tailored to your exact needs and compliance requirements.

Granular resource permissions. Control access at the pipeline, environment, connector, or secret level so teams can only view and modify what they own.

Automated Record keeping

Streamline audit

Embedded audit trails provide visibility for organizational governance and external audits by tracking all Harness resource changes within accounts.

Two-year audit history. Every change made within your Harness account is retained for up to two years, giving compliance teams the history they need.

Audit-ready on demand. Generate audit reports without manual data gathering — Harness compiles the full change history automatically.

Full attribution chain. Every event is stamped with the timestamp, acting user, and resource affected, creating an unambiguous record for forensic review.

Log Sanitization

Protect secrets in logs

Harness scrubs deployment logs and script outputs to mask sensitive text values. Text secrets stored in selected Secrets Managers appear as asterisks (*) in deployment logs, ensuring secret values remain hidden. Protect credentials, API keys, and sensitive configuration from accidental exposure while maintaining full operational visibility.
