Security & Trust

Coordinate the work. Not your code.

Foreman is designed around a clear trust boundary. The control plane coordinates delivery and holds the evidence trail, while your source code and provider credentials can stay inside your own environment.

The trust boundary

Two sides. One authorized channel.

How the boundary holds

What each side is responsible for.

01

Source-code boundary

Code can be kept inside your environment via the Private Runner rather than moving to Foreman.

02

Credential boundary

With Private Runner, credentials for AI providers, GitHub, and verification tools such as BrowserStack or Snyk remain in your environment. Foreman receives the operational results and evidence it needs—not those provider credentials.

03

Network model

The control plane exchanges work state and authority over authorized communication.

04

Execution boundary

Agents execute where you place the runner — next to your code.

05

Tenant / workspace isolation

Work is separated by workspace so teams and clients stay isolated.

06

Policy enforcement

Assignment and release respect the policies you define.

07

Evidence

Validation, review, and remediation are recorded against each candidate.

08

Release authority

Nothing ships without a human decision.

09

Audit history

A durable record of assignment, validation, review, and release.

This describes Foreman's architectural trust model. Specific controls, certifications, and deployment options are reviewed with your security team as part of an enterprise engagement.
