[console](https://phase.dev/changelog/tag/console/)[cli](https://phase.dev/changelog/tag/cli/)[kubernetes](https://phase.dev/changelog/tag/kubernetes/)[helm](https://phase.dev/changelog/tag/helm/)[compliance](https://phase.dev/changelog/tag/compliance/)[security](https://phase.dev/changelog/tag/security/) February brought organization ownership transfer, the official Phase Console Helm Chart 1.0 for Kubernetes self-hosting, SOC 2 Type II certification, and a series of UI/UX improvements and bug fixes. Here's the full recap. * * * ## Organization Ownership Transfer You can now transfer ownership of a Phase organization to another member. This is useful when a company founder or admin needs to hand off control to another team member — for example, during a team restructuring or when an employee changes roles. The transfer flow includes: - A search-enabled user selector to choose the new owner - A "Danger Zone" confirmation dialog with the organization name - Verification that the new owner has backed up their recovery keys - Email notifications sent to both the current and new owner - Automatic redirect to the organization home after transfer Organization ownership transfer is available to users with the Owner role from the organization settings page. Available in [Console v2.60.0](https://github.com/phasehq/console/releases/tag/v2.60.0). Check out the [docs](https://docs.phase.dev/console/organisation#transfer-ownership) for more details. * * * ## Phase Console Helm Chart 1.0 The official Phase Console Helm Chart is now available at v1.0.0, making it easier than ever to self-host Phase on Kubernetes. The chart provides a production-ready deployment configuration with: - Configurable external PostgreSQL and Redis connections with SSL/TLS support - Customizable init container images for air-gapped environments - `nameTransformer` support for secret key formatting in Kubernetes secrets We also fixed the `nameTransformer` not being applied in secret processors — previously, the `nameTransformer` option was accepted but silently ignored, which could cause issues during migration. Available in [Kubernetes Operator v1.4.1](https://github.com/phasehq/kubernetes-secrets-operator/releases/tag/v1.4.1). Check out the [Helm chart docs](https://docs.phase.dev/self-hosting/kubernetes) for setup instructions. * * * ## SOC 2 Type II Certified Phase has officially achieved SOC 2 Type II certification. This validates Phase's security controls, availability, and data protection practices over an extended observation period. ![SOC 2 Type II Certified](https://phase.dev/assets/soc2-certified-dark-badge.svg) * * * ## Console UI/UX Polish A series of UI/UX improvements landed this month: - **Secrets loading skeletons** — The secrets view now shows loading skeletons instead of a blank screen while secrets are being fetched - **Access control loading states** — Added loading state indicators to the access control pages - **App encryption indicator** — Apps now display an encryption status indicator in the app list, giving you a quick visual reference - **Improved secret lookup and creation** — Streamlined the flow for searching and creating new secrets - **Lockbox viewer improvements** — Redesigned the lockbox viewer with improved UX and a fix for the lockbox auto-closing when switching browser tabs - **Improved add member/service account dialogs** — The dropdowns for adding members and service accounts to apps now show more relevant information with better empty states Available in [Console v2.59.0](https://github.com/phasehq/console/releases/tag/v2.59.0). * * * ## Pricing Updates We've updated our pricing across all tiers to better reflect the value, scale, and operational maturity of the Phase platform — including SOC 2 Type II certification, enterprise-grade features like Dynamic Secrets and External Identities, and the growing infrastructure behind Phase Cloud. The website pricing page has also been simplified with a cleaner layout and a search bar for the feature comparison table. Check out the updated [Pricing page](https://phase.dev/pricing) for full details. * * * ## Other improvements and fixes - **Fix `.env` export for special characters** — Secret values with special characters are now properly quoted when exporting as `.env` files - **Fix AWS Secrets Manager sync check** — Added credential validation to the existing syncs check for the AWS Secrets Manager integration - **Restrict logout to POST** — The logout endpoint now only accepts POST requests with CSRF protection - **CLI referencing fix** — Fixed secret referencing string matching issues in the Phase CLI - **Docker tag strategy** — Changed CI so the `:latest` Docker tag is only pushed on release tags, not on every push to `main` - **Security patches** — Updated Django to 4.2.28, Axios to 1.13.5, sqlparse to 0.5.4, and other dependency updates * * * All features are live on [Phase Cloud](https://console.phase.dev) and available in the latest releases for self-hosted users.
