Security & privacy

Ministry context deserves thoughtful protection.

Kartios is designed to give useful information to the people responsible for carrying the work—without making every detail visible to everyone.

Review Kartios With Us

Protection in practice

How Kartios protects ministry context.

  1. 01

    Workspace separation

    Ministry records remain scoped to the workspace that owns them.

  2. 02

    Server-enforced authorization

    Server code checks permissions and resource ownership for reads and writes.

  3. 03

    Responsibility-aware visibility

    Useful context follows workspace roles and entrusted ministry relationships.

  4. 04

    Private hosted uploads

    Hosted files use private storage and authorized server access.

Browser sessions are not given ordinary direct access to application tables.

Visibility with responsibility

Useful context follows the responsibility someone carries.

Choose a responsibility to see the useful context and the boundary that remains in place.

Member

See the work and relationships you participate in.

Members receive a useful personal view of their current discipleship relationships, meetings, Scripture-based work, and prayer shared with an audience they belong to.

  • Personal curriculum and next steps
  • Groups and discipleship relationships they participate in
  • Prayer shared with an audience they belong to

Boundary: Membership does not create unrestricted visibility into other people or ministry relationships.

This is a practical explanation, not an exhaustive permission matrix. Exact access depends on active workspace membership, assigned role, and entrusted relationships.

People and accounts

A person’s ministry record and login access are not the same thing.

Ministry record

Can represent a person without creating login access. History can remain when participation becomes inactive.

Account access

Linked separately through a controlled process. Active workspace membership establishes normal access.

Clear about the boundaries

Trust should be built on what Kartios actually does.

Kartios describes current protections plainly and invites ministries to review their requirements rather than assuming one posture fits every organization.

Kartios does not currently claim:

  • SOC 2 certification
  • HIPAA compliance
  • Enterprise identity-provider integrations
  • Automatic customer-defined retention enforcement
  • Certifications or independent audits that have not been completed

Questions worth reviewing

Who can see a prayer request?

The author retains access. Other visibility follows the selected audience: the wider church or ministry, pastors, a small group, or a discipleship relationship.

Do administrators see pastor-only prayer?

No. Administrative status alone does not reveal prayer shared only with pastors. Current pastoral prayer visibility is limited to owners and pastors.

Can platform support read prayer content?

Ordinary platform-support views hide prayer titles, bodies, authors, and pastoral details. This describes application views, not a claim that privileged infrastructure operators are technically incapable of database access.
