Security Principles & Practices

Transparency, accountability, and relentless protection for your code, data, and infrastructure. We treat security as a foundational requirement, not an afterthought.

Core Security Principles

Our architecture and operational practices are guided by industry-standard security frameworks. Every feature, pipeline, and deployment adheres to these foundational rules.

Zero Trust Architecture

Never trust, always verify. All access requests are authenticated, authorized, and encrypted, regardless of origin or network location.

Privacy by Design

Data minimization, purpose limitation, and strict retention policies are embedded into every system component from day one.

Defense in Depth

Multiple layered security controls across network, host, application, and data levels ensure no single point of failure compromises security.

Least Privilege Access

Users, services, and CI/CD runners receive only the minimum permissions required to perform their intended functions.

Continuous Verification

Automated security scanning, dependency auditing, and runtime monitoring operate 24/7 across all environments.

Transparent Operations

Public status reporting, documented incident post-mortems, and open security disclosures keep our community informed.

Compliance & Certifications

We maintain rigorous compliance postures to meet enterprise, regulatory, and industry standards. Third-party audits are conducted annually by independent assessors.

Standard / Framework Status Last Audit Scope
SOC 2 Type II Certified 2025-03-12 Security, Availability, Confidentiality
ISO 27001:2022 Certified 2025-06-28 Information Security Management

Auditor reports and compliance documentation are available to enterprise customers upon request. Contact our compliance team for access.

Infrastructure & Data Protection

Our platform runs on hardened, isolated infrastructure with strict controls over data lifecycle, key management, and network boundaries.

  • 🔐
    Encryption Standards Data at rest: AES-256-GCM with tenant-isolated keys. Data in transit: TLS 1.3 with HSTS and certificate pinning for APIs.
  • 🔑
    Key Management HSM-backed cryptographic key management. Rotation every 90 days. Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) available for Enterprise.
  • 🌐
    Network Security Private subnets, strict egress filtering, WAF, DDoS mitigation, and microsegmentation between compute, storage, and CI/CD runners.
  • 👥
    Access Control RBAC with mandatory MFA for all administrative accounts. Session timeout policies, IP allowlisting, and audit logging for all privileged actions.
  • 🗄️
    Data Residency & Retention Region-isolated storage. Configurable data retention policies. Automatic secure deletion using cryptographic erasure standards (NIST 800-88).

Supply Chain & Dependency Security

We treat our software supply chain with the same rigor as customer data. All base images, SDKs, and dependencies are verified before release.

  • SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generated for every release using SPDX/CycloneDX formats.
  • Strict dependency pinning with automated CVE scanning and automated patching workflows.
  • Immutable release artifacts with cryptographic signatures verified by GPG and transparency logs.
  • Third-party component vetting aligned with SLSA Level 3 guidelines.
  • Private registries and isolated build environments prevent dependency injection attacks.

Incident Response & Transparency

Security incidents are inevitable; how we respond defines trust. Our IR process follows NIST SP 800-61 and SANS frameworks.

Detection & Triage

Automated monitoring, anomaly detection, and manual review trigger severity classification within 15 minutes of alert.

Containment & Eradication

Isolated affected systems, credential rotation, and forensic preservation. Customer impact is prioritized above all.

Communication

Real-time updates via status.git.dev and direct customer notifications. No delayed disclosures or ambiguous language.

Post-Incident Review

Public post-mortem published within 14 days. Root cause analysis, timeline, and implemented mitigations are documented openly.

Historical incident reports and security bulletins are archived at security.git.dev/advisories.

Report a Vulnerability

If you believe you've discovered a security issue in .git products, APIs, or infrastructure, please report it responsibly. We welcome coordinated disclosure and offer bug bounty rewards for valid findings.
