Couchbase Capella™ Cloud Trust Center

Couchbase is committed to your organization’s security and data protection at every level. We’ve ingrained industry best practices and security by design in our policies, procedures, software development practices, and cloud security.

Our security approach

Couchbase security is a team effort. It begins with top-down policies from management and extends to the development of secure products by our engineers, management of governance and compliance by our information security team, and shared responsibilities across all our business units.

Built-in security protects your modern enterprise

Verify

Role-based access controls ensure only authorized users or applications have access to data.

Enforce

Enforcement of least privilege access is applied to all credentials and secrets, ensuring strict access controls to sensitive data and actions.

Monitor

To prevent potential breaches, Capella implements a managed cloud intrusion detection system that involves 24×7 monitoring.

Modernize

Capella is built using modern DBaaS principles and secure development practices.
