Shared responsibility model

At Tuist, we rely on trusted infrastructure providers, such as Render, Tigris and Supabase, to manage key aspects of our infrastructure security. These partnerships enable us to deliver reliable and secure services while focusing on application and data-level security.

This document outlines the shared responsibility model between Tuist and its infrastructure providers, detailing the security areas managed by each party.
