Why You Can Trust This Service

This page is written for security reviewers, platform leads, and teams evaluating hosted MCP services.

Trust Pillars​

1. Explicit Access Boundaries​

Conceptualize does not expose a global workspace to every caller.

Access is granted board-by-board:

  • Owner: full control
  • Shared write: can edit content
  • Shared read: can view only
  • No share: no access

2. Owner-Controlled Collaboration​

Only board owners can grant or revoke access for other users.

This keeps responsibility and control with the data owner, not with background automation.

3. Identity-First Security​

In hosted mode, requests are tied to authenticated user identity through OAuth bearer tokens.

Unauthenticated requests are rejected.

4. Least-Privilege Operations​

Tool operations honor permission scope on every call.

A user who can read is not silently allowed to write.

5. Predictable Behavior Under Pressure​

Batch operations are atomic and still permission-checked. If one operation fails, the transaction rolls back.

This protects consistency and prevents partial unauthorized changes.

What You Can Tell Your Stakeholders​

  • Data is not broadly shared by default.
  • Sharing is explicit, auditable by ownership, and reversible.
  • Access checks are enforced server-side, not trusted to client behavior.
  • The service is designed for safe collaboration, not unrestricted data exposure.
  1. Pilot with a small set of boards and users.
  2. Validate read/write/owner boundaries with test identities.
  3. Move to production authenticated mode only.
  4. Add periodic access reviews for shared boards.
