Security

At Spacelift, your security while using our service is our first and foremost priority. Here's what we're doing to maintain your trust by keeping Spacelift secure by design.

You can access security reports, compliance information, and controls details in our Trust Center.

Certifications

Spacelift is SOC2 Type II Certified.

Certification performed by an independent external auditor, who confirms the effectiveness of internal controls in terms of Spacelift Security: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, and Privacy of customer data.

Security audits

Spacelift performs regular security audits using:

• Automated security tooling.
• Internal audits by the Spacelift security team.
• External security firms for audits and penetration testing at least once per year.

Encryption

All of Spacelift's data is encrypted in transit and at rest. All traffic is handled using secure transport protocols with the exception of intra-VPC traffic between the web server and the load balancer, which is protected by a restrictive AWS security group.

All the data sources (Amazon S3, database, Amazon SNS topics, and Amazon SQS queues) are encrypted at rest using AWS KMS keys with restricted and audited access.

Customer secrets are extra encrypted at rest to keep them safe from all attackers, internal or external.

Security features

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

This feature elevates the security of your Identity Provider (IdP) sessions by integrating the use of FIDO2 security keys, managed within Spacelift. MFA provides an additional layer of security for your identity. Designed for seamless integration, MFA can be enforced across all user accounts to maintain consistent security protocols. You can learn more about our MFA feature here.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

In addition to the default login providers (GitHub, GitLab, Microsoft, and Google), Spacelift supports Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML or OIDC using your favorite identity provider. Using SSO, Spacelift can be configured in a password-less approach, helping your company follow a zero-trust approach. As long as your Identity Provider supports SAML or OIDC, and passing the email scope, you're good to go! You can learn more about our Single Sign-On support here.

Environment variables

Spacelift allows for granular control of environment variables on your stacks either by setting environment variables on a per-stack basis, or creating collections of variables as a context. These environment variables can be either plain or secret.

Private worker pools

Spacelift supports the ability to host the underlying compute resources that are accessing your codebase and executing your deployments, on your own infrastructure as a private worker pool. This grants customers the option of full control over the security of their deployments.

Furthermore, the image used by Spacelift private workers is open source, giving customers full transparency into their private workers.

Access private version control systems

For customers that use privately hosted version control systems (such as on-premise installations of GitHub Enterprise or other VCS providers), Spacelift provides the ability to access your private VCS securely using VCS agent pools.

A single VCS agent pool is a way for Spacelift to communicate with a single VCS system on your side. You run VCS agents inside of your infrastructure and configure them with your internal VCS system endpoint. They will then connect to a gateway on our backend, and we will be able to access your VCS system through them.

Spacelift VCS agent pools utilize gRPC on HTTP2 for secure, high-performance connectivity.

Policies

Spacelift policies provide a way to express rules as code to manage your infrastructure-as-code environment. Users can build policies to control Spacelift login permissions, access controls, deployment workflows, and even govern the infrastructure itself to be deployed. Policies are based on the Open Policy Agent project and can be defined using its rule language Rego. You can learn more about policies here.
