CloudNative, Inc Security Policy

Security at CloudNative, Inc is not only an ethical obligation, but your trust in our competence in this area is crucial to the sustainability of our business. We appreciate you taking the time to read this page along with Terms of Service and other pages on the website that constitute our Legal Terms. We will update these pages from time to time, so it is important that you check back regularly to ensure you still agree to these terms, before using the service.

We do not read your code!

CloudNative employees want your business to thrive, while using the CloudNative service, so privacy and security of your code is of the highest importance. Currently, only the Founders of CloudNative have the ability to read any of your code and would only ever do so in response to an explicit support request from your company. Contractors of CloudNative will never be given access to customer code.

Partners with access to your source code

CloudNative is built using Amazon Web Services, and we check out your code onto an EC2 instance in your AWS account. If AWS becomes vulnerable, your source code may also become vulnerable to accidental disclosure. The AWS Security Center discusses their security in great detail.

Canceling your account

If you need your account canceled and your data deleted, please contact us at info@cloudnative.io. To remove CloudNative's access to your GitHub account, you can remove it via your GitHub application settings page.

Our security model

Your code is only downloaded and executed on your servers. When building an AMI, CloudNative makes API calls to your AWS account to set up a build server. The build server, running in your AWS account, then downloads your code from your Git repository, as well as makes more API calls to your AWS account. This model makes certain that no customer ever has access to any other customer's code.

CloudNative, Inc. Responsible Disclosure Policy

We take the security of our systems seriously, and we value the security community. The responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities helps us ensure the security and privacy of our users.
