Enterprise security & access control

Access control
isn't a feature.

Openbiznis was built on the assumption that not everyone should see everything — and that assumption is enforced at every layer, not just the interface. Hiding a menu item is not security. Refusing the query is.

Role-based access control

Every route and every action requires an explicit permission — enforced on the server, not just hidden from the menu.

Step-up MFA

Sensitive roles and sensitive actions require a second verification step before they're allowed to proceed.

Row-level data isolation

Database-level policies ensure a user's queries only ever return data they're actually permitted to see.

Full audit trail

Every meaningful change is logged and reviewable — who did what, and when.

CEO-exclusive credential vault

Shared company credentials, access-controlled and MFA-gated behind the CEO role — not a spreadsheet, not a group chat.

Safe demo mode

New team members can be trained on a fully populated demo environment before they ever touch live data.

Defence in depth

Enforced at every layer.

A permission check in the browser is a convenience. A permission check in the database is a guarantee. Openbiznis does both, in that order of importance.

  • Interface

    Navigation and actions the role can't use are never rendered, so the product stays legible.

  • Server

    Every route re-checks the permission before doing any work — a crafted request gets refused, not served.

  • Database

    Row-level policies scope the query itself, so even a bug upstream can't return another user's rows.

  • Audit

    What did happen is recorded and reviewable, independently of what was permitted.

Data protection

Built for EU operators.

GDPR-aligned by design

Data minimisation, purpose limitation, and deletion workflows are part of the product, not a policy PDF. See our Privacy Policy.

A DPA, ready to sign

Openbiznis acts as processor for the customer data you put into it. Our Data Processing Agreement sets the terms.

Transparent sub-processors

Every third party that can touch customer data is listed, with its purpose and location, on our sub-processors page.
