Security & Compliance

Responsibilities

• Define security posture: encryption, secrets, auditability, and compliance controls.
• Maintain threat models and secure defaults.
• Provide incident response and forensic readiness.

Key interfaces

• Secrets management and key rotation procedures.
• Audit trails and immutable logging where required.
• Data handling policies (PII, retention, access reviews).

Operational signals

These are the measurements that tell you whether this layer is healthy in production.

• Security event volume and alert fidelity.
• Key rotation drift and secrets usage anomalies.
• Vulnerability SLA compliance and patch cadence.

Failure modes

• Credential leakage or accidental public exposure.
• Missing audit trails during critical incidents.
• Non-compliant retention or access control practices.

Production readiness checklist

• Enforce encryption in transit and at rest; rotate keys on schedule.
• Create an incident runbook and rehearse response.
• Automate dependency scanning and patch workflows.
