Security and trust.
Your agents’ mail is someone else’s personal data. This page says what protects it today, and marks what is still on our roadmap as planned. Agentboxd is a small company: we don’t hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and we don’t claim to.

Where it runs
Hosted in the EU. What leaves it, and when, is on Privacy and data flow.
- Production server
- France · EU
- The API, both mail servers, the database and stored mail run on one dedicated virtual server at Contabo, in Lauterbourg, France.
- Backup server
- EU
- A second Contabo server receives an encrypted copy of every nightly backup. Nothing is stored outside the EU unless your AI setting sends it (below).
- Exposed to the internet
- 443 · 25 · 587 · 465 · SSH
- The website and API over HTTPS, the inbound mail server, SMTP submission and administrative SSH. The database and queue are never reachable from outside.
- Physical security
- Contabo
- Data-centre access and hardware are the hosting provider’s responsibility.
Strict-Transport-Security
Encryption
- TLS · HSTSIn place
- agentboxd.com and api.agentboxd.com serve HTTPS only, with automatically renewed certificates and HSTS for a year, subdomains included.
- STARTTLSIn place
- Our MX offers STARTTLS with a real certificate for mx.agentboxd.com. Outbound mail uses TLS whenever the receiving server supports it.
- SMTP submissionIn place
- Ports 587 and 465 refuse to accept a password (your API key) until the connection is encrypted.
- AES-256-GCMIn place
- The DKIM private keys of your custom domains are encrypted in the database with a key kept outside it.
- sha256In place
- API keys, session tokens and sign-in links are stored only as hashes. A key is shown once; we can’t show it again.
- HMAC-SHA256In place
- Every webhook is signed with a timestamp, so your endpoint can reject forged or replayed deliveries.
- Encrypted backupsIn place
- Every backup file is encrypted with GPG before it leaves the server, to a key we keep offline, so the backup server only ever stores encrypted files. The copies kept on the production server for fast restores are protected by access control, not encryption.
- Disk encryptionPlanned
- Encryption of the server’s disks, which the provider doesn’t offer by default. Under evaluation.

Access control
Who can reach your data: your own keys and sessions, and one named administrator on our side.
- No passwordsIn place
- You sign in with a single-use link that expires after 15 minutes, or with GitHub. There are no passwords to leak or reuse.
- Scoped API keysIn place
- Limit a key to one inbox and to the permissions it needs (for example send and read only), and revoke it at any time.
- Workspace isolationIn place
- Every record belongs to a workspace and every query is scoped to it; another workspace’s ids answer 404.
- X-Requested-WithIn place
- Dashboard requests that change data must carry a CSRF header, so another site can’t act with your session.
- Restricted machine keysIn place
- The automated deploy key can only run the deploy script, and the backup key can only write to one folder on the backup server.
- MFA and access reviewsPlanned
- Multi-factor authentication confirmed on every provider account we use to run the service (hosting, DNS, code), and a written access review every quarter.

Backups and recovery
- Nightly backupsIn place
- Database, stored mail, attachments and keys every night and before every deploy. A backup with an empty or unreadable database dump counts as failed.
- 14 days · off-siteIn place
- Kept 14 days on the server and on a second server. Anything deleted is gone from backups two weeks later.
- Automatic rollbackIn place
- A release that fails its health checks is rolled back to the previous one without anyone stepping in.
- RPO 24 h · RTO 8 hIn place
- Our targets: at most one day of data lost, service back within 8 hours if the server is lost. Targets, not an SLA.
- Restore testsIn place
- Every quarter the latest backup is restored into a throwaway database and checked against production: every table, and every stored email it points to. Last run 25 Sep 2026: passed.
- Full recovery drillPlanned
- A timed rebuild of the whole server from an off-site backup, to measure our 8-hour target end to end.

Monitoring and abuse
Every workspace shares our sending reputation, so abuse is stopped automatically.
- fail2banIn place
- Hosts that probe our mail server for addresses or keep failing SMTP logins are banned at the firewall.
- Rate limitsIn place
- Per API key and session, per inbox and per workspace, plus limits on sign-in links per address and per IP.
- Auto-suspensionIn place
- A workspace whose hard-bounce rate passes 5% or complaint rate passes 0.1% over 7 days stops sending until we review it.
- Logs without contentIn place
- Logs never contain message bodies, API keys, cookies or secrets.
- Health checks · 5 minIn place
- Every 5 minutes: the website and API (with the database, queue and storage), both mail servers, every service, disk space, last night’s backup and certificate expiry. A failure emails us at once, again every 6 hours until fixed, and when it recovers.
- Outside-in alertingPlanned
- Uptime checks from outside our server, so a full outage still reaches us, alerts to a phone at any hour, and blocklist monitoring of our sending IP.
orgs.ai_processing
AI processing switch
One setting per workspace, changed by an owner. Every call to an AI provider checks it first, and a test fails the build if new code skips the check. Exactly what each level sends.
- Off
- off
- No email content leaves the Agentboxd server.
- Categorize
- categorize
- JEV reads each inbound message to label it. This is the default.
- Full
- full
- Everything in Categorize, plus reply drafts written by DeepSeek.
Authentication-Results
Prompt-injection defences
Email is written by strangers. We treat it as data at every step, and so should your agent. How the flags look.
- ai:injection-risk
- With AI processing on, every inbound message gets injection and phishing scores and labels before your agent reads it.
- dmarc-fail · spf-fail
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC are checked on every message and failures are labelled, so an agent can distrust spoofed senders.
- UNTRUSTED EMAIL CONTENT
- MCP results mark mail as data, never instructions, and carry warnings when a message is flagged.
- Drafts never send
- Reply drafts treat the thread as untrusted, email can’t break out of its block in the prompt, the model has no tools, and a draft is only ever returned to you.
- sandbox
- The dashboard shows a message’s HTML in a sandbox with no scripts, forms or navigation. Attachments download; they never open on our domain.
SOC 2 · not yet
Certifications and roadmap
No SOC 2 report or ISO 27001 certificate yet. Our policies and controls follow the SOC 2 criteria, and we answer security questionnaires: write to hello@agentboxd.com.
- Written policiesIn place
- 14 security policies (access, change, incidents, continuity, encryption, vendors, risk and more), reviewed every year.
- Controls mapped to SOC 2In place
- Each control is mapped to the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and marked in place, partial or planned.
- Data processing addendumIn place
- A GDPR Article 28 DPA you can request today.
- Contracts with AI providersPlanned
- Data processing terms and Standard Contractual Clauses with JEV and DeepSeek for transfers outside the EU.
- Dependency scanningPlanned
- Automatic alerts and updates for vulnerable dependencies, checked in CI.
- Penetration testPlanned
- An independent test of the API, mail servers and dashboard.
- SOC 2 reportPlanned
- Not yet. We will start an audit when customers need one, and say so here.

Report a vulnerability
Write to security@agentboxd.com with what you found, how to reproduce it and what an attacker could do with it. We acknowledge reports within 3 working days, keep you posted until it’s fixed, and credit you if you want.
We won’t take legal action against research done in good faith that follows these rules: use only your own workspace and accounts; don’t read, change or delete other people’s data (stop and tell us if you reach any); no denial of service, no spam or phishing sent through our servers, no social engineering of our providers; give us reasonable time to fix before you publish.
Spam or abuse coming from an Agentboxd address goes to abuse@agentboxd.com instead.
