SECURITY & TRUST

FirstPublisher Security & Operational Controls

FirstPublisher handles agency, client, publishing, distribution and billing records, so security protects both account access and workflow integrity.

SEE THE WORKFLOW

Operational controls stay behind the workflow

Role permissions, MFA, rate limiting, audit records, tenant separation and backup controls support the business process without becoming the user’s daily burden.

Tenant separation

Agency-scoped queries and permission checks are intended to prevent one agency from accessing another agency’s private clients, releases, commercial terms or reports.

Authentication and account controls

Authentication, optional MFA controls and security settings help reduce unauthorised access.

Role-based permissions

Publishing, billing, reporting, team administration and sensitive Admin controls can be separated.

Request and abuse protection

CSRF controls, rate limiting, Turnstile where configured and secure public tokens protect exposed workflows.

Auditability

Important account, commercial, publishing, distribution and administrative actions can be recorded in audit/history tables.

Backups and recovery

Backup, verification and restore-test records are part of operational controls.

Secrets stay private

Provider API keys belong in protected configuration—not public HTML, JavaScript, support messages or PR content.

Security is ongoing

No platform can promise absolute security; preventive controls, monitoring, auditability and recovery must continue to be tested.
