Security

The key is never
next to the lock.

Flowplane is a Belgian company that hosts in EU data centres only. Your credentials sit in our database as ciphertext, the key that opens them sits in a key service we cannot copy, and the hardware that unlocks that key sits in the EU.

EU only
A Belgian company in EU data centres. Data and logs never leave the Union.
We can’t read your credentials
Sealed per workspace. Only the gateway opens one, for one call.
Logs without content
Who, what, when and the decision. Never message text or documents.
Your rights, never more
Agents work as the person behind them. Risky actions wait for approval.
How it’s protected

Built so we can’t look inside.

Sealed credentials

Every password, key and token is sealed under your workspace’s own key. We can store it, never read it back.

Facts, never content

Every call is recorded: who, which tool, the decision. Message text and documents stay out, and the log is tamper-evident.

Only ever narrows

An agent has the rights of the person behind it, never more. “Ask first” holds the call until they approve. A block always wins.

One door to the outside

Only the gateway talks to your apps, over TLS, to the address you connected. No private addresses, no redirects.

Backups, in the EU

Copied nightly to a second EU location, encrypted first, kept 30 days. A restore is rehearsed every quarter.

Also built in

Your browser holds no token
The console keeps sign-in tokens on the server behind a session cookie no script can read, with a strict content policy and no framing. Admins and owners need a passkey or an authenticator app on top of your company sign-in.
Everything inside is encrypted too
TLS on every hop between our own services, secrets encrypted at rest, keys rotated on a schedule, and every action on a key or a master credential raises an alert.
Reviewed with you
We walk customers through the security design behind these rules, under NDA.

Roadmap

The controls we ask of you, we pass first.

This is where we stand.

  1. In place

    GDPR processor agreement

    Part of our terms, accepted with every workspace. EU staff, EU infrastructure and a subprocessor list you can read in one minute.

  2. In progress

    CyberFundamentals Important

    The Belgian conformity path for NIS2: MFA everywhere, least privilege, segmented management, tested backups and an incident procedure. Complete before we invoice the first customer.

  3. Planned

    ISO 27001

    Starts when the first healthcare or public-sector customer is in sight. Same controls, international certificate.

Scope: an access layer and nothing else, with no CDN and no chat product. Small enough to certify and to explain to an auditor in one meeting.
