OpenClaw Provider

Your Security Is Our Foundation

We designed OpenClaw Provider with a simple principle: your data should never leave your server.

Core Security Principles

Security is not a feature we bolt on. It is the architectural foundation every other feature is built upon.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

OpenClaw runs entirely on your dedicated server. We do not proxy, cache, or store your conversations, files, or agent outputs. Our management layer communicates with your server only to deploy updates, run health checks, and collect anonymized uptime metrics. We never access your data because our systems are designed so that we physically cannot.

Encrypted Everything

All connections to your OpenClaw instance are secured with TLS 1.2 or higher. Server management is conducted exclusively over SSH with key-based authentication. Data at rest on your server can be encrypted using full-disk encryption provided by your cloud provider. We provision and auto-renew SSL certificates through Let's Encrypt so your dashboard and APIs are protected from day one.

Automated Security Updates

Security patches cannot wait for a convenient maintenance window. OpenClaw Provider monitors for new releases and security advisories around the clock. When a critical patch is available, it is applied automatically with health checks and rollback capability. Non-critical updates are scheduled during low-traffic windows to minimize disruption.

Access Control

Team access to your deployment is managed through role-based permissions. Every action is logged in an audit trail you can review at any time. SSH keys are managed centrally, and you can revoke access for any team member instantly. Our platform supports granular controls so you can give different team members different levels of access to your deployment dashboard.

What We Do and Don't Have Access To

A clear breakdown of the responsibilities split between you and our management platform.

What You Control
  • Your server and its root access
  • All data stored on the server
  • OpenClaw configuration and settings
  • SSH keys and who can access the machine
  • Your custom domain and DNS records
  • API keys for language model providers
What We Handle
  • Deployment automation and provisioning
  • Update scheduling and rollback
  • Health monitoring and uptime checks
  • SSL certificate provisioning and renewal
  • Security patching and vulnerability monitoring
  • Firewall configuration and hardening

Infrastructure Security Details

Technical specifics of how we secure every managed deployment from the moment it is provisioned.

  • Servers are provisioned with minimal attack surface, only required ports are opened
  • SSH access is restricted to key-based authentication with password login disabled
  • fail2ban is configured to automatically block repeated failed access attempts
  • UFW firewall rules are applied during initial provisioning and maintained through updates
  • All OpenClaw services run under dedicated non-root system users with minimal privileges
  • Server health is monitored every 60 seconds with automatic alerting on anomalies
  • Deployment scripts are idempotent, repeatable, and tested against multiple cloud providers
  • No shared infrastructure between customer deployments; each instance is fully isolated on its own VPS

Security Questions

No. Your OpenClaw instance runs on a server that you control. Our management platform communicates with your server only for deployment, updates, and health monitoring. We do not have access to your conversations, files, or any data processed by your AI assistant.
We monitor the OpenClaw project and security advisory channels continuously. When a vulnerability is disclosed, we test the patch and deploy it to managed instances automatically. Critical patches are applied as soon as they are verified. You receive a notification when updates are applied.
Because your data lives entirely on your own server, you maintain full control over data residency and processing. You choose which cloud provider and region to deploy in, which means you can ensure your data stays within the jurisdiction required by your regulatory framework. We do not process or store your end-user data on our infrastructure.
You have full root SSH access to your server at all times. All management actions performed by our platform are logged and visible in your deployment dashboard. You can review update history, health check results, and configuration changes. The server's own system logs are available for you to inspect directly.

Deploy With Confidence

Your data stays on your server. Your security stays in your hands. Get started with a fully managed, fully secured OpenClaw deployment.
