Best Practices for Using Mattermost Securely in a Cloud Environment?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Mattermost with a small team for internal communication, and it’s been a great alternative to other platforms. We’re now expanding and planning to host Mattermost in a cloud-based setup. Security is becoming a bigger priority, and I want to make sure we’re following best practices.

I’ve recently started going through CCSP Training (Certified Cloud Security Professional) to get a better understanding of cloud security, and it’s opening my eyes to a lot of things we could be doing better..like encryption, access control, and monitoring.

Has anyone here applied cloud security principles like those from CCSP to their Mattermost setup? I’d love to hear how others handle secure deployment, especially around sensitive data and user management.

Are there specific configurations or tools you’d recommend for improving Mattermost’s cloud security?

Really appreciate any insights or resources you can share. I want to keep our setup lean but safe as we scale up.

Thanks!

One common thing is to keep Mattermost tucked away behind a proxy or load balancer that can provide better crypto than the Golang libraries.
