🔐OTTO Security

All your security questions for OTTO answered right here.

Updated yesterday

OTTO is built with enterprise-grade security practices to ensure safe deployment of all features, including on-page modifications, automation, and authority-building tools. The system is designed to eliminate common vulnerabilities, protect sensitive data, and ensure your production environment remains secure.

▶ Key Security Risks and Prevention Strategies

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

We do not allow execution of user-inputted JavaScript code. No user inputs are executed within client-side JS, eliminating this vulnerability.

Content Manipulation

Only your team can manipulate your site’s content through the OTTO dashboard. This is safeguarded by proper access control, password discipline, and corporate security practices.

Insecure API Endpoints

All Search Atlas and OTTO APIs run exclusively on HTTPS.

Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks

All OTTO APIs enforce SSL certificate verification via the browser. Data is transmitted only over HTTPS. Our production servers are hosted on GCP, block all incoming external requests, and operate within Kubernetes container orchestration secured via GitOps.

Sensitive Data Exposure

OTTO’s content creation features do not process proprietary or first-party sensitive data in LLM outputs. Guardrails prevent accidental leaks or improper use.

Code Injection

Client-side HTML manipulation subroutines are hardcoded in the OTTO pixel. External JS cannot be injected and executed.

Third-Party Dependency Risks

The OTTO pixel is written in vanilla JS with no external libraries. This eliminates dependency risks and reduces latency.

Inadequate Content Security Policy (CSP)

OTTO does not override or affect your domain’s CSP settings.

▶ Infrastructure and Operational Security

✅ Each OTTO pixel is tied to a unique hash that links only to your OTTO project.
✅ All communication is encrypted with SSL and HTTPS.
✅ Daily database snapshots ensure recovery readiness.
✅ Databases are hosted on GCP, inaccessible outside internal infrastructure, and fully encrypted.
✅ Corporate VPN, issued keys, and strict access control govern entry into cloud infrastructure.
✅ DNS-level DDoS protection is managed via Cloudflare.
✅ All OTTO editing APIs require authenticated sessions; unauthenticated requests return 403. APIs rely on your site’s unique hash ID for validation.
✅ Production and staging environments are handled as separate OTTO projects.
Stripe is used as the payment gateway and is fully PCI compliant.
✅ Static code analysis is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline for continuous security validation.

💡 Final Note


Security is at the core of OTTO’s design. With enterprise-grade protection built into every layer—from pixel deployment to API authentication—you can confidently use OTTO to optimize your site without risking performance or data integrity.
