Identity, Access, Execution, Evidence
Built to protect the control plane itself.
A platform that can change your production cloud has to be held to a higher standard than the systems it governs. This is how it is built.
- Identity
- Policy
- Least privilege
- Vault
- Short-lived credentials
- Approval
- Execution
- Audit
The server decides
The browser and the mobile app are treated as untrusted. Tenant, role, attributes, device, session, policy version and approval state are evaluated on the server for every sensitive action.
Secrets stay in Vault
Provider credentials are held in HashiCorp Vault. The application database stores a reference, never the secret, and credentials are never sent to a browser or a phone.
Short-lived by preference
Where a provider supports federation or temporary credentials, such as AWS STS, SecureCloudGate uses them. Static tokens are used only where a provider leaves no alternative, and are scoped, rotated and health-checked.
Approvals that cannot drift
An approval is bound to a SHA-256 hash of the exact change. Authorisation is checked again immediately before execution, and a requester can never approve their own request.
Audit that shows tampering
Security events are append-only and hash-chained. The chain is verified on a schedule and can be exported as a signed evidence package.
Isolation and sessions
Tenant boundaries are enforced in the service layer and in queries. Sessions use secure, HttpOnly cookies with idle and absolute timeouts, rotation and revocation.
