Security & Compliance

Ephemeral by design. Encrypted by default. Your data never leaves your control.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Defense in depth across every layer of the stack

Fully Ephemeral Processing

PR and issue content is processed in-memory and never stored at rest. Only generated release notes are persisted—your source data stays yours.

AES-256-GCM Field-Level Encryption

All sensitive credentials (API keys, tokens, webhook secrets) are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before reaching the database. Quarterly automated key rotation with zero-downtime re-encryption.

BYOK — Bring Your Own Keys

Connect your own AWS Bedrock credentials for complete data sovereignty. Your AI inference stays within your AWS account—ReleaseRay never sees the prompts or responses.

Database SSL with Certificate Verification

All database connections enforce SSL with sslmode=verify-full and CA certificate pinning. No plaintext database traffic, ever.

SOC 2 Type II Compliance

Comprehensive security controls across access management, encryption, audit logging, change management, and incident response—aligned with SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria.

Automated Key Rotation

Encryption keys rotate quarterly via automated CI/CD workflows. Previous keys are retained for seamless decryption of existing data during the transition window.

Complete Audit Trail

Every action—draft generation, publishing, credential access, data deletion—is logged with actor, timestamp, IP, and context for full accountability.

Endpoint Security & Penetration Testing

Formal endpoint security policies, scheduled penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning ensure continuous security posture improvement.

Defense-in-Depth API Hardening

NEW

Server-side JWT validation on every authenticated endpoint, Zod schema validation on all inputs, CSRF origin verification with strict URL parsing, and SSRF protection on outbound webhooks.

Rate Limiting with Circuit Breaker

NEW

Multi-tier rate limiting across webhooks, API, LLM, and billing endpoints. Circuit breaker pattern fails closed on security-critical paths—no silent bypasses when infrastructure is degraded.

Privacy First

Complete control over your data—collect less, protect more, delete on demand

30-Day Data Retention

PR metadata and generated drafts are automatically purged after 30 days. Analytics aggregates are retained for 13 months. You control what stays.

Purge My Data

NEW

Organization admins can trigger immediate data deletion with a 24-hour cooling period. Full GDPR Article 17 compliance—your right to be forgotten, enforced.

Data Transparency API

NEW

Query exactly what data ReleaseRay holds about your organization. Export everything or delete it—complete visibility with no hidden storage.

What We Access vs. What We Store

Accessed Ephemerally

PR bodies, issue descriptions, comments, and commit messages are fetched from GitHub, sent to the LLM, and discarded. Never written to disk or database.

Stored (Encrypted)

Generated release note drafts, PR metadata (title, number, author, labels), and your organization settings. All encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.

We never access your source code. ReleaseRay only reads PR/issue metadata and discussion content through the GitHub API, and with BYOK Bedrock, even that data never touches our infrastructure.
