Security & trust

Built for real customer data

Garages run on trust — with their customers, and with the software that holds their business. Here’s how GarageOS earns it.

Multi-tenant isolation

Every garage's data is scoped to its own tenant at the data layer — cross-tenant reads and writes are impossible by construction, not just by convention.

Encrypted in transit

All traffic is served over HTTPS with automatic certificate management and HSTS. Nothing moves between browser and server in the clear.

Hardened authentication

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt; sessions use signed, expiring tokens. Login and sensitive endpoints are rate-limited to blunt brute-force attempts.

Audit trail

An append-only audit log records security-relevant actions — logins, successes and failures — with source IP, so activity is always accountable.

Automated backups

The database is backed up nightly with retention. Backups are verified by an automated restore test, because a backup you've never restored isn't a backup.

You own your data

Your customer, vehicle, and financial records are yours. Export them at any time. We never sell data or use it to train anything.

Isolation by architecture

GarageOS is multi-tenant from the ground up. Every business record carries its owning service center, and the data layer refuses any query that isn’t scoped to the authenticated tenant. A garage can never see — or affect — another garage’s data, even in the event of an application bug.

Access & accountability

Staff authenticate with hashed credentials and short-lived, signed session tokens. Authentication and write-heavy endpoints are rate-limited. A tamper-evident, append-only audit log records logins and privileged actions with their source, so you always have an answer to “who did what, and when.”

Backups & disaster recovery

The production database is backed up automatically every night and retained. Crucially, those backups are restore-tested on a schedule — restored into a throwaway environment and checked for integrity — so recovery is a proven procedure, not a hope. The whole platform is defined as infrastructure-as-code and can be rebuilt from a clean host in minutes.

Data ownership & privacy

Your data belongs to you. You can export your customers, vehicles, and financial records at any time, and you can ask us to delete your workspace and its data on termination. We do not sell your data or use it to train machine-learning models. See our Privacy Policy for the full statement.
