Secure your Bitbucket surface
Merge checks that do not actually block, pipeline variables in plaintext, and app passwords with broad scope. We don’t connect to Bitbucket to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.
Book a Demo[01] What This Surface Exposes
Where Bitbucket goes wrong
Bitbucket goes wrong through a configuration split: branch restrictions and merge checks are separate settings, and are frequently mismatched.
- Branch restrictions configured without the merge checks that would enforce them
- Pipeline variables holding secrets without being marked secured
- App passwords issued with write and admin scope for read-only automation
- Repository access granted directly to users instead of through groups, drifting over time
- Deployment environments without approval requirements
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Bitbucket
On Bitbucket we verify merge checks against branch restrictions, since one without the other enforces nothing.
- Merge check configuration verified against branch restrictions, since the two are separate and often mismatched
- Pipeline variable protection audited per value
- App password inventory with scope and age
- Direct user grants surfaced against group-based access
- Deployment approvals correlated with your change management record
[03] Where It Lands
Where Bitbucket lands in your registers
Repositories and pipelines become asset register entries with their own criticality, because a build system that can deploy to production is a production system. Access reviews cover repository and pipeline permissions alongside your other entitlements, and the risk register carries supply chain exposure — the dependencies you pull, the actions you run, and who can push without review.
[04] How We Engage
On Bitbucket specifically
On Bitbucket, we secure pipeline variables, revoke over-scoped app passwords, and align merge checks with branch restrictions. Migrating direct grants to a group model we run as a project.
Platform licence
Everything you need to find and fix it yourself, with no ceiling on the depth of the answer.
- Every connected tool monitored for misconfiguration and drift, with findings mapped to the assets and risks they affect
- Remediation guidance that tells you what is wrong and exactly how to fix it — however deep or awkward the issue is. We are engineers running a security company, so the answer is the real one, not a link to vendor documentation
- Assets, access reviews, and risk register populated from the tools themselves rather than from spreadsheets
- Unlimited integrations and unlimited users, with anything missing built within two weeks
Managed service
Every tool you connect through Konfirmity comes under our care, with our team doing the work.
- Continuous misconfiguration and drift monitoring across every connected tool, watched by our analysts rather than by a dashboard waiting for you
- Incident response led by us, with containment coordinated with your team
- Remediation performed directly wherever you have granted us the authority to act — and where we cannot act, we project-manage the fix to completion rather than handing you a ticket
- Decision support on the tools themselves: where something is failing you on capability or costing more than it returns, we will tell you, and help you replace it
[05] Bitbucket FAQs
What Bitbucket access does Konfirmity need?
Konfirmity needs an access token or OAuth consumer with read scopes on repositories, projects, pipelines and workspace membership. That covers branch restrictions, merge checks, pipeline variables and permission structure.
Do you check app passwords?
Yes. App passwords are frequently issued with write or admin scope for automation that only reads, and they rarely expire. Konfirmity inventories them with scope and age so over-permissioned automation credentials can be narrowed or revoked.
