What you'll learn

Key Takeaways

Robust Data Segregation and Encryption

Customer data is logically separated using unique account identifiers across all platform layers. All data is encrypted at rest using the AES-256 algorithm.

Comprehensive Access and Authentication Controls

The platform secures access through Single Sign-On, two-factor authentication, and IP allowlisting. Granular permissions are enforced using role-based and attribute-based access controls.

Extensive Audit Trails and Event Streaming

Detailed audit logs track all platform events and changes for up to two years. This data can be streamed to external tools like Splunk or AWS S3 for continuous monitoring.

Automated Governance with Policy as Code

Harness utilizes Open Policy Agent to enforce compliance and security policies automatically across the platform. This prevents unauthorized or non-compliant activities during the software delivery lifecycle.

Secure and Flexible Delegate Connections

The customer-installed Delegate communicates with the platform via outbound-only encrypted connections. It supports custom certificates, mutual TLS, and non-root user privileges for enhanced security.
