Security

Spyder's security posture, the controls we have in place, and how to report a vulnerability.

Last updated: May 31, 2026

In transit

  • TLS 1.3 everywhere. HSTS preloaded on spyderapp.com and all *.spyderapp.com subdomains.
  • HTTP-only, Secure, SameSite=Lax cookies for the session.
  • Content Security Policy locks down which origins can serve scripts, media, and frames on the dashboard.

At rest

  • All data is stored in Cloudflare D1 (SQLite) and Cloudflare R2 (object storage), both encrypted at rest with AES-256.
  • Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes only. The plaintext never touches disk.
  • Session JWTs are signed with HS256 and rotated regularly.

Access controls

  • Customer data access requires a valid signed session cookie. Every API call validates ownership of the resource being accessed.
  • Internal admin access is scoped to a small operations team, audited per access, and requires hardware-key second factor.
  • Production database access is read-only by default; writes require a temporary elevation that's logged.

Infrastructure

  • Compute: Cloudflare Workers (V8 isolates, per-request sandbox).
  • Database: Cloudflare D1 (SQLite, replicated to Cloudflare's edge).
  • Object storage: Cloudflare R2 (S3-compatible, encrypted at rest).
  • Billing: Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1).
  • Email: Resend (operational mail only).

Custom domains

When a customer binds a custom domain, Spyder provisions a TLS certificate automatically via Cloudflare for SaaS Custom Hostnames. Certificates are issued by Cloudflare's CA, are short-lived (≤90 days), and rotate automatically.

Backups

Daily backups of all account and site data are retained on a rolling 30-day window. Restoration is available on request — email security@spyderapp.com.

Vulnerability disclosure

Found a security issue? Email security@spyderapp.com with details. We respond within 48 hours. We don't currently run a paid bounty but we publicly credit researchers who report in good faith and follow coordinated disclosure.

Please:

  • Test only on accounts you own.
  • Don't access, modify, or delete data that isn't yours.
  • Don't run automated scanners that produce volume that could degrade service.
  • Give us a reasonable window to remediate before publishing.

Incident response

For confirmed incidents affecting customer data we notify affected customers within 72 hours, post a status update at status.spyderapp.com, and publish a post-incident report once root cause is understood.

Compliance status

Spyder is a young product and not yet SOC 2 audited. We design and operate against SOC 2 control objectives so an audit can be passed when the company stage warrants it. Enterprise customers can request our current control matrix.
