Security

Overview

Our approach to security is straightforward: we protect your data with the same care and commitment we'd use for our own. Your privacy is our priority.

Secure User Authentication

Taskade employs a comprehensive suite of authentication features. At a basic level, we enforce a complex password policy, ensuring the foundational security of your account. This is augmented with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) via Google Sign In and further reinforced with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for enhanced protection.

For paying customers, we collaborate with identity management leaders such as Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace to provide SAML and SCIM support. This approach ensures a strong and varied ecosystem for authentication.

  • SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language): An open standard allowing identity providers to pass authorization credentials to service providers. This ensures seamless and secure user access without the need for passwords. Taskade supports SAML authentication via Azure AD, Okta, and Google Workspace.
  • SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management): Facilitates the automation of user provisioning and de-provisioning, making it easier to manage and synchronize user identities. Taskade integrates with SCIM via both Azure AD and Okta.

Data Protection and Encryption

While Taskade currently does not provide end-to-end encryption, we use AES-256 encryption algorithms for both data at rest and in transit. This ensures that essential features such as full-text search remain functional while maximizing data protection.

Data Privacy

Taskade believes in giving control to the users. By default, your projects and workspaces are private. Sharing access is completely at your discretion, which means that you have full control over who views your data.

Internal Access

We enforce strict controls and constant monitoring on internal data access. Access to our production servers is granted only to personnel who have undergone thorough vetting and received authorization from our executive team, who are legally committed to safeguarding your data.

Google Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) Certification

Taskade proudly announces our Google Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) Certification, a testament to our unwavering commitment to the highest security standards. This achievement aligns with the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), ensuring comprehensive security coverage from potential vulnerabilities to architectural integrity. For more details on ASVS, visit OWASP ASVS, and for CASA specifics, see CASA.

Our certification process involved rigorous adherence to CASA requirements, covering a wide range of security measures and demonstrating Taskade’s commitment to a secure, privacy-focused platform. By meeting CASA’s stringent standards, Taskade reinforces its dedication to providing a secure environment for collaboration and productivity, in line with the OWASP mission to enhance software security through community education and open-source initiatives.

Compliance & Future Roadmap

While we are in the process of becoming SOC2 compliant, our current practices are designed to align with or exceed existing industry standards. Ensuring compliance is a top priority, and we are diligently working to obtain the necessary certifications.

Security Architecture & Monitoring

  1. Our service runs on AWS, and we follow their security best practices. Our servers run on Linux. Administrators use sudo to elevate privileges when necessary.
  2. We deploy Rate Limiting on account, IP, and audit event level.
  3. All relevant production log entries are stored remotely, with pattern matching and alerts for malicious intent, as well as unexpected crashes, exceptions, and other error conditions.
  4. We harden system images and roll out new ones on every change automatically via CICD, this applies to all clusters. Security patches are rolled out automatically. We have a process in place to roll out emergency patches instantly.
  5. We have thousands of unit tests, system tests, and integration tests, confirming changes are secure, correct, and performant.

Taskade AI

Taskade enhances your workflow with AI tools and features by integrating OpenAI's technology, including GPT-4o mini and GPT-4o. This provides you with advanced capabilities while ensuring your data security is fully protected.

Your information will not be used for model training. Any data shared with our partners is exclusively to facilitate the delivery of Taskade AI features, and we strictly prohibit them from using your information for training their models or any other purposes.

Partnerships & Infrastructure

We collaborate with leading industry players to build a robust security architecture. While some member data may be stored in our virtual cloud, our partners cannot decrypt this information.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR Compliance)

Taskade is fully compliant with the GDPR. If your business operates in a jurisdiction where the GDPR applies, it is your responsibility to ensure that your business operations also comply with these regulations.

GDPR Contacts

The Data Controller for Taskade is the Technical Support Team, which you can contact at [email protected]. The Data Protection Officer is John Xie, who can be reached at [email protected].

System Uptime & Continuity

We implement rigorous monitoring and establish thousands of alerts to track system health, product functionality, and potential abuse, including attack signatures and audit events.

Our server status page is completely separate from our production platform, all the way up to the domain registrar, and lets you know of any issue affecting production, as well as the @Taskade X account.

  • Taskade will never sell your data.
  • You can use Taskade for free and upgrade at any time.
