Least access for the work
Access is scoped to named systems, environments and responsibilities. Production access is requested only when required, and client-owned accounts are preferred over shared credentials.
Security + delivery safeguards
Practical controls. Honest boundaries.
DataShip designs security into discovery, implementation and support. This page describes our working practices; it does not claim an audit, certification or control that has not been independently verified.
Credentials stay out of code
API keys and passwords belong in approved secret stores or environment configuration—not source code, tickets or general-purpose documents. Rotation and revocation responsibilities are agreed with the client.
Test before production
Where platforms allow it, development and validation are separated from production. Test plans include sample records, expected outcomes, reconciliation and rollback steps.
Use only what the workflow needs
Demonstrations use controlled sample data. Project data is limited to the fields and retention needed for the approved scope; regulated or sensitive information is not copied into demos.
Reviewable deployment
Mappings, configuration, code and automations move through documented testing and approval. Consequential AI actions begin read-only or recommendation-only and remain human governed.
Failures need owners
Logs, alerts, retry behavior and exception ownership are defined around critical handoffs. Monitoring depth and response targets are written into the applicable statement of work or support plan.
Contain, communicate, learn
Suspected incidents are triaged with the client: restrict access, preserve relevant evidence, identify affected workflows, coordinate communication and document corrective actions.
Access should not linger
At project or support closeout, DataShip reviews account ownership, credential rotation or revocation, documentation delivery, open risks and the client's ongoing support responsibilities.
Contract documents and deeper review
For qualified work, DataShip can discuss confidentiality, data-processing terms, system access, subcontractor responsibilities, incident expectations and client-specific controls during contracting. Requirements must be agreed in writing; website language is not a substitute for an executed agreement. Request a security conversation.
