GitFlare Zero Trust

Controls we enforce before repository data is shared.

GitFlare is designed as a trust boundary between third-party apps and provider data. These controls are applied consistently across embedded connect and API access flows.

Default-deny posture Repository-level scope Auditable request trail Revocation-first operations

Repository-level approvals

Apps can access only explicitly approved repositories, not full provider accounts.

Permission-scoped tokens

Tokens are constrained by granted permissions and validated for every API request.

Connection-level identity checks

Every access path is bound to tenant, app, and connection context before data is returned.

Request audit logging

Endpoint, status, repository, and timing events are logged for audit and investigations.

Security firewall filtering

Sensitive patterns and blocked paths are filtered at the gateway boundary.

Secret hashing controls

Potential secrets are detected and transformed before payloads leave GitFlare.

Provider callback validation

OAuth callback domains and redirect paths are validated against configured app boundaries.

Fast revocation workflows

Admins can revoke app access, provider connections, and grants without waiting for token expiry.

Operating Principles

How we run Zero Trust in production

These principles guide implementation and incident response across customer environments.

  • Least privilege: default access is deny-until-approved.
  • Policy before data: requests are evaluated against authorization state on every call.
  • Customer visibility: logs and status surfaces explain what happened and when.
  • Fail-safe defaults: unavailable policy data fails closed for protected routes.
