Secure Your SDLC
Operating a secure software development platform is the foundation for securing your entire software development lifecycle and meeting regulatory compliance requirements.
Harness offers a wealth of built-in capabilities designed to keep your software development lifecycle secure and compliant without ever slowing developers down.
Enforce Granular Access Controls
With the number and variety of user types involved in building and deploying applications for your organization, controlling platform access based on static entitlements alone doesn’t cut it. The Harness Platform gives you granular role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce separation of duties and control what user groups are granted access to specific resources or deploy to specific environments. This allows you to better protect their data and key business processes through company-defined rules and roles.
Keep Secrets Safe
Secrets are among several key software development elements attackers seek to exploit. The Harness Platform features a robust architecture, along with integrations to keep secrets safe. Secrets management is a key platform capability and offers you the option of using either your preferred secrets manager or the Harness platform’s built-in secrets manager. The Harness Delegate, which resides in your network, interacts with secrets managers, minimizing risk. The Delegate also uses a pull model to receive instructions from the Manager so that you do not need open inbound ports listening for commands.
Govern Through Policy-as-Code
Proper governance of pipelines, OSS dependencies, and software artifacts can’t be achieved through a one-size-fits-all approach to policy. With Harness, governance extends beyond out-of-the-box policies, allowing you to tailor governance to your organization’s specific mandates through a policy-as-code approach based on the Open Policy Agent (OPA) standard.
Easily establish and implement the guardrails that make it easy for users to do the right things and difficult for them to do the wrong things. Want to empower developers to edit their pipelines, but forbid them from deleting the security scans? That's where a policy has you covered. Harness makes policy authoring a snap for any user, thanks to a no-code approach driven by Harness AI.
Ensure Tamper-free Builds
With the current rise in sophisticated attacks aimed at the elements of software supply chains, it’s critical to protect pipelines and artifacts from being compromised. Harness CI-hosted builds allow you to meet SLSA Level-3 criteria and generate & sign verifiable attestations that artifacts are free from tamper throughout the build process. Build hardening for SLSA Level-3 compliance is achieved through the following:
- Built-in infrastructure isolation for every build where new infrastructure is created for every run and deleted after the run completes
- OPA policy enforcement for Harness CI stage templates with non-privileged, hosted containerized steps that do not use volume mounts. This prevents build steps from accessing the attestation key information in compliance with SLSA specifications

Secure Apps With Fully-Integrated Shift-left Security
Shifting application security testing left is a critical practice that often challenges DevSecOps stakeholders and yields few benefits with piecemeal, bolted-on approaches. Harness seamlessly integrates full-featured shift-left security into Harness CI and CD pipelines, as well as Harness AR artifact registries, allowing you to incorporate your preferred scanners (such as Wiz, Snyk, Checkmarx, and others), provide developers with automatic code fixes and AI-generated remediation guidance, and connect developers and security practitioners through common workflows.
