Hello,

I have a question about the encryption of the secrets that are configured in a build. For instance, say that I configure a passwords in the secrets tab. Can your engineers see it, or is it encrypted in a way that only the build pipeline can use it?

Thanks,

Sébastien

Only those engineers who have access to the production servers, which is a very limited list. And even for us (I’m one of those who can access it) we need a really good reason to do so as well as we have protocols of how it can happen.

I hope this answers your question, if it would not or if you’d have any other question just let us know! 😉

Thanks a lot for your answer!

I am working for a bank, so those things are pretty sensitive.

I’ve sent an email to letsconnect@yourhost recently with some other questions, if you could take a look at it, it would be great 🙂

All the best,

Sébastien

Great! It’s a security questionnaire that my it-security team requires any outside partner to fill… I haven’t received an answer it, but it would be great if you could fill it. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have about it.

Thanks a lot 🙂

Did you send an email to [letsconnect@bitrise.io](mailto:letsconnect@bitrise.io) ? Just highlight that it’s urgent, should be propagated to the right person ASAP!

Yes, I sent it to this email. It was sent on April 26th, and I’ve sent a little reminder about it on Mai 2nd…

Can you find it? Or do you want me to send it again?

Just to be sure, we did reply in the meantime right? I don’t see any unanswered questionnaire thread in our support system, all are “in progress”.
