Security Overview
Layered security covering network, application, data, and infrastructure. Many features are automatic: HTTPS, DDoS protection, OS patching -- requiring no configuration. Shared responsibility model applies.
Network & Application Security
Automatic HTTPS: Let's Encrypt, auto-provisioned and renewed. DDoS Protection: Always-on multi-layer. Dedicated Egress IPs (Pro): Fixed IPs for whitelist-based integrations. VPC Integration (Pro): Outbound VPC, peering -- traffic stays on DO private network. Container Isolation: Ephemeral containers. No persistent state beyond defined filesystem. Encrypted Environment Variables: Encrypted at rest, decrypted only for running service. Never exposed in logs.
Access Control & Compliance
IAM: Team-based RBAC via DigitalOcean IAM. Granular permissions per resource type. Scoped API tokens for automation. Audit Log: Track all team actions -- create, update, deploy. Compliance: SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS Level 1, GDPR. HIPAA BAA available on request. Best Practices: Use Pro tier, store secrets in env vars (not code), enable dedicated IPs, VPC peering for databases, implement app-level auth, forward logs to SIEM.
