Security

Security built around identity, scope, and ownership.

Bstrapr helps teams give people controlled access to private infrastructure without turning shared credentials into the access model. Your environments remain under your ownership; Bstrapr manages the relationship between people and the Sites they are allowed to reach.

Architecture claims we stand behind

  • Outbound Site enrollment — Each Site enrolls by installing a VPN client that dials out to the Bstrapr control plane with a one-time auth key; no inbound firewall holes are required on infrastructure you own.
  • Identity- and Site-scoped grants — Access is evaluated per person and per Site, not by flat network membership.
  • Central revoke without rebuild — Revoking access ends that person's Bstrapr-mediated route to a Site; the Site stays enrolled and under your ownership.

Authentication & identity

Users authenticate through Bstrapr before reaching assigned Sites. Access is tied to an identity in your account rather than relying on shared passwords as the collaboration model.

Encrypted connectivity

Traffic to enrolled Sites uses encrypted connectivity via a VPN client that dials outbound to the Bstrapr control plane with a one-time auth key — no inbound firewall changes are required on infrastructure you own. Connectivity protects the path; Bstrapr adds the authorization and lifecycle controls around that path.

Site enrollment and ownership

You enroll infrastructure you already operate — cloud VMs, remote servers or designated machines. Enrollment establishes a Site under your ownership; Bstrapr does not take over your hosting provider.

Site-scoped authorization

Access grants are scoped to Sites and environments. A person can be limited to one authorized environment while your core team retains broader access.

Revocation

When access is revoked, Bstrapr-mediated access for that person ends while the Site remains enrolled and under your control — no rebuild required to end an engagement.

Tenant isolation

Accounts, Sites, and access relationships are isolated by customer context so one team’s collaborator model does not bleed into another’s.

Your data remains on your infrastructure

Bstrapr manages enrollment and access relationships. Application data, source code, and workloads remain on infrastructure you operate, subject to the exact behavior of enabled workspace and documentation features.

Access activity history

Review who was granted access, which Sites they could reach, and when access changed. That history supports day-to-day accountability for lean teams and agencies.

This is described as access activity history — not an audit or compliance control — until immutable evidence retention and formal compliance controls are in place.

Incident response and operations

Operational responsibility for the shared platform is ours; responsibility for your enrolled Sites and workloads remains yours. Dedicated deployments can define support and operational boundaries explicitly — see Dedicated or contact us.
