Secure your Vercel surface
Environment variables leaking into client bundles, publicly reachable previews, and over-scoped tokens. We don’t connect to Vercel to collect evidence for its own sake — we connect to secure it, and the compliance artefacts follow from that work.

Where Vercel goes wrong
Vercel goes wrong in two places: environment variables that reach the client bundle, and preview deployments left publicly reachable.
- Environment variables prefixed for client exposure that carry values never meant to leave the server
- Preview deployments publicly accessible, exposing unreleased functionality and staging data
- Team members holding roles that permit production deployment without review
- Integration tokens with scope across every project in the team
- Domains and DNS configuration drifting from the intended routing
[02] What We Secure
What we watch, catch and fix on Vercel
On Vercel we audit client-exposed environment variables by value, because the risk is what is inside them rather than that they exist.
- Client-exposed environment variables audited by value, since the risk is what is in them rather than that they exist
- Preview deployment protection checked per project, because the default is easy to leave open
- Deployment permissions reconciled against who should be able to ship
- Token scope inventoried against the projects each integration genuinely touches
- Build and deploy history correlated with change approvals
[03] Where It Lands
Where Vercel lands in your registers
Every cloud resource we discover becomes an entry in your asset register with an owner, a criticality rating, and its data classification. Access reviews cover the IAM principals attached to it, and the risk register carries the mapping between the asset and the risks it actually carries — so a public bucket is a named risk against a named asset, not a line item in a scan report.
[04] How We Engage
On Vercel specifically
On Vercel, we enable preview protection, tighten roles, and re-scope tokens under agreed authority. Reworking how secrets flow into builds we plan with your engineers.
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] Vercel FAQs
Can you tell which Vercel env vars are exposed to browsers?
Yes, and we check what is in them rather than just flagging the prefix. A client-exposed variable holding a public analytics key is fine; one holding a service token is an incident. Konfirmity distinguishes the two and drives rotation where a real secret has been shipped to browsers.
Are preview deployments a real risk?
They are, because the default is open and preview builds often carry unreleased functionality and staging data. Konfirmity checks deployment protection per project rather than assuming a team-wide setting, since protection is configured project by project and easily missed on new ones.
