Platform security and operations

At BaseKit, we know that our partners rely on us to deliver a white-label platform that is not only powerful but also secure, compliant and environmentally responsible. Every part of our infrastructure, development process and support model has been designed to maintain the highest standards of reliability and trust.

Security by design

Security is at the heart of how we build and operate the BaseKit platform. We run automated vulnerability scanning across all third-party libraries and components that make up our stack. Tools like Snyk and GitHub Dependabot constantly monitor for potential vulnerabilities, allowing us to take proactive action before they become a risk.

Our platform is also fully monitored 24/7 by a dedicated Network Operations Center (NOC) team. We track not only uptime and response time but also the individual performance metrics of every component within the platform. This real-time monitoring ensures we maintain the high availability our partners expect.

BaseKit is fault tolerant and self-contained, meaning that in the rare event of a vulnerability being discovered, we can deploy fixes across all sites instantly. There’s no need for our partners to take any action. We keep their small business customers’ websites secure and protected at all times.

Agile delivery and continuous improvement

We follow an agile development approach, releasing small, frequent updates every two weeks. Each release is penetration tested to maintain strong security standards. Our continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipeline is fully automated, which means new features and fixes reach partners quickly and safely.

During onboarding, partner development teams work directly with our own developers to ensure smooth integration. Whether partners use APIs or web hosting plugins like cPanel or Plesk, our team is on hand to assist. Once live, partner system administrators have direct access to our sysadmins and our 24/7 NOC for operational support.

Compliance and privacy built in

BaseKit partners with enterprise companies that serve small business customers and entrepreneurs. To meet their needs, we maintain strict adherence to international and local data privacy laws including GDPR and CCPA. Our platform also allows site owners to comply with privacy regulations by supporting data anonymization for their own customers.

Committed to sustainability

As a certified B Corp, BaseKit is dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of our technology. We’ve partnered with ImageEngine to optimise how images are delivered, cutting the carbon footprint of image serving by 90%. Our cloud infrastructure now runs on low or carbon-neutral nodes, and we continue to optimise website performance to minimise energy usage.

These optimisations don’t just benefit the planet. Smaller, faster websites load quicker, perform better in search rankings and deliver a smoother experience for visitors.

Built for trust, performance and the planet

By combining security, sustainability and agility, BaseKit helps partners deliver reliable, compliant and environmentally conscious digital products for our partners and their . It’s part of our ongoing mission to build technology that makes the web better for businesses and better for the world.
