Security Review Readiness

Inspect deployment boundaries, tenant isolation, authorization paths, credential lifecycle, and evidence before rollout. This page describes the review process and control objectives; it does not claim a certification or a completed third-party assessment.

Structured Review Methodology

The engagement scope follows a four-phase review flow informed by established web and API testing guidance. Exact tests, artifacts, retest terms, and third-party involvement are agreed before work begins.

Phase 01

Reconnaissance & Scoping

  • Inventory the modules, interfaces, dependencies, and deployment model in scope
  • Map REST, Connect/gRPC, WebSocket, and governed Agent Gateway surfaces where applicable
  • Document authentication, authorization, tenant, and trust boundaries
  • Agree on safe test environments, data handling, and acceptance criteria
Phase 02

Vulnerability Assessment

  • Review public interfaces against relevant OWASP testing guidance
  • Exercise tenant isolation and authorization-denial paths
  • Check credential lifecycle, validation, replay, and rate-limit behavior
  • Assess injection, request forgery, dependency, and unsafe-deserialization risks
Phase 03

Exploitation & Proof-of-Concept

  • Use controlled proof-of-concept tests in isolated evaluation tenants
  • Verify cross-tenant denial and scoped-credential behavior
  • Test retry, budget, expiry, and abuse controls included in the selected modules
  • Capture reproducible evidence without accessing real customer data
Phase 04

Reporting & Remediation

  • Record findings, severity rationale, affected versions, and remediation owners
  • Map remediation guidance to the customer and Launch Rail responsibility boundary
  • Define retest scope and timing in the engagement before testing begins
  • Separate available evidence from roadmap artifacts and customer-specific controls
Encryption

Encryption Responsibilities Made Explicit

The customer-owned deployment model keeps cloud-key policy in the customer environment. The review identifies where transport, storage, secret, and credential controls must be configured and verified.

Data at Rest

Control objectiveEncrypt customer-managed storage and backups
AWS pathUse customer-selected KMS and storage policies
Application fieldsIdentify sensitive fields during data-flow review
SecretsStore secret references, never secrets, in generated manifests
ResponsibilityCustomer configures and operates cloud keys

Data in Transit

Control objectiveTerminate supported TLS at reviewed boundaries
Service trafficDefine internal trust and certificate model per topology
CertificatesCustomer-operated lifecycle in the AWS environment
Browser surfaceReview transport and security-header configuration
IntegrationsValidate signatures and replay controls where supported

Credential & Key Lifecycle

RotationSet by credential type and customer policy
StorageUse cloud-native key services and scoped secret references
Access controlLeast-privilege roles reviewed during deployment
AuditCapture attributable events for supported administrative actions
ValidationVerify expiry and revocation behavior in acceptance tests
Security Controls

Defense in Depth

Use these categories as a review checklist for the selected modules and deployment. A control is treated as implemented only after its configuration and behavior are verified in the target environment.

Infrastructure

  • Review VPC, subnet, ingress, egress, and data-service placement
  • Define workload identities and least-privilege cloud roles
  • Restrict service-to-service paths to the selected topology
  • Keep customer credentials inside the customer deployment environment
  • Document backup, restore, logging, and incident responsibilities
  • Verify artifact provenance and dependency evidence when delivered

Application

  • Exercise validation and authorization at documented API boundaries
  • Verify rate and budget controls for the selected interfaces
  • Review dependency inventory and update process
  • Inspect query construction and unsafe input paths
  • Confirm origin, webhook, and integration allowlists
  • Test error handling for leakage of tenant or secret context

Access & Identity

  • Map human, service, and agent identities separately
  • Review session expiry, revocation, and credential recovery paths
  • Keep Agent Gateway policies default-deny and tenant scoped
  • Require approval for configured high-impact agent mutations
  • Verify authorization decisions at the service boundary
  • Capture attributable events for supported privileged actions
Responsible Disclosure

Vulnerability Disclosure Program

We welcome good-faith vulnerability reports and coordinate privately from receipt through validation, remediation, and any agreed disclosure. Timing depends on the validated scope and impact.

Step 1

Submit Report

Email security@launch-rail.com with affected versions, impact, and a safe proof of concept. Ask for a protected channel before sending sensitive material.

Step 2

Confirm Receipt

We establish a private coordination channel, confirm the affected surface, and request any details needed for safe reproduction.

Step 3

Validate & Triage

We reproduce the issue, assess scope and severity, identify affected versions, and agree on a responsible communication plan.

Step 4

Remediate & Coordinate

We define remediation and disclosure timing from the validated impact. Researcher credit is provided only with written consent.

In Scope

  • Launch Rail-owned public website surfaces
  • Documented interfaces for modules included in the engagement
  • Authentication and authorization paths selected for review
  • Evaluation tenants created for approved testing
  • Admin, control-plane, and Agent Gateway surfaces when explicitly in scope
  • Licensed source versions named in the review agreement

Out of Scope

  • Physical security attacks
  • Social engineering of employees
  • DDoS or volumetric flood attacks
  • Automated scanning without prior approval
  • Third-party services and integrations
  • Customer-owned self-hosted deployments
Enterprise Security Package

Request a Security Review Package

Need material for security, legal, or enterprise procurement review? We will share the currently available architecture, data-flow, responsibility, lifecycle, and evidence documents, and clearly identify any artifact that remains a delivery target.
