Security & Compliance Considerations for Feature Flags

Handle PII carefully, log evaluations responsibly, and scope access when using flags at scale.

Treat flag attributes like config: minimize, encrypt, and audit.

Threats

  • Attribute leakage
  • Privilege escalation
  • Drift

Controls

  • RBAC
  • Data minimization
  • Encryption at rest & transit

Governance

  • Ownership and approval flows
  • Audit logging of changes
  • Secrets handling for attributes

Case Study: Attribute Minimization

A fintech removed birthdate from flag context by hashing an age bracket. Same targeting accuracy, less sensitive data at rest.

Conclusion

FeatureFuse provides role‑based access and audit trails so you can meet compliance without slowing down delivery.
