Security

How Stedhold keeps each app private and separate.

Sign-in

  • Invite-only, through Amazon Cognito. Stedhold never sees your password.
  • Each app has its own short-lived cookie. Every request re-checks access.
  • Guest passes end after 24 hours and carry no identity.

Isolation

  • Each app runs in its own sandbox with fixed memory and process limits.
  • Sandboxes can't reach Stedhold's database or internal network.
  • Customer code never runs on the servers that run Stedhold.

Network

  • HTTPS everywhere.
  • A web application firewall blocks known-bad traffic and rate-limits sign-in.
  • A DNS firewall blocks malware, botnet and mining domains from sandboxes.

Data

  • Hosted on AWS in US East (Ohio).
  • Private settings and keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, with the key held outside the database.
  • Backups kept 7 days, request logs 90 days, DNS logs 30 days.
