Security overview

Security you can trust.

BuildMax is built for teams that ship production software. Enterprise-grade isolation, encryption, and compliance baked in — not bolted on.

AES-256 encryption

TLS 1.3 everywhere

Isolated sandboxes

SOC 2 in progress

Security pillars

Four layers of protection.

From the moment your code enters BuildMax to the moment it's deployed, every layer is secured.

Data Isolation

Every workspace runs in a dedicated sandbox environment. There is zero filesystem, memory, or network sharing between tenants. Your code and data never touch another customer's environment.

Zero cross-tenant access

Encryption at Rest

All stored data — including your codebase, environment variables, and connected API keys — is encrypted with AES-256. Secrets are stored in an encrypted vault, never in plaintext.

Encrypted Transit

All traffic between your browser, BuildMax servers, and deployed projects is encrypted over TLS 1.3. We enforce HTTPS everywhere — on platform APIs and every deployed subdomain.

TLS 1.3 end-to-end

Compliance Ready

SOC 2 Type II certification is in progress. Our data handling practices are GDPR-aware with documented data residency, retention policies, and the ability to export or delete all data on request.

Architecture

How we protect
your code.

A deep look at how sandboxes, secret vaults, and OAuth flows work inside BuildMax.

Sandbox architecture

Each build spins up an isolated container. The container has no knowledge of other workspaces, no shared filesystem paths, and no inter-process communication with other tenants. Containers are torn down completely after each build.

# Every build gets a fresh namespace sandbox.create({ tenant: workspace.id }) sandbox.run(build_plan) sandbox.destroy() # automatic on completion

Secret and key storage

API keys, OAuth tokens, and environment variables you add to your workspace are stored in an encrypted vault. They are injected at runtime into sandboxes and never written to disk in plaintext or exposed in logs.

Connector OAuth flow

When you connect a service like GitHub or Stripe, you authorize via the provider's official OAuth flow. BuildMax stores only the encrypted access token — we never see your passwords, and tokens are scoped to the minimum permissions required.

Audit and observability

All platform actions — builds, deploys, connector connections, team invites — are timestamped and logged. Workspace owners can review their full activity timeline at any time.

Team controls

Built for teams that move fast.

SSO, role-based access, and a full audit trail so you stay compliant as you scale.

Role-based access

Assign owner, editor, or viewer roles to workspace members. Each role has explicit permissions — viewers can't deploy, editors can't manage billing.

SSO ready

Enterprise workspaces can enforce single sign-on via your existing identity provider. Google Workspace and Okta are supported in the Business plan.

Coming soon

Audit trail

A complete, immutable audit log of all workspace actions — who built what, when it deployed, which connectors were used — is available to workspace owners.
