Boundary 01Identity & Access
Security is defined across the complete operating environment.
These areas frame an enterprise security discussion. Detailed control behaviour, ownership and evidence must be confirmed for the selected product and deployment model.
Security Architecture
Architecture review should identify trust boundaries, sensitive data flows and exposed integration surfaces for the deployed solution.
Access Control
User and service access requirements should align with operating roles and responsibilities; the enforcement model requires deployment confirmation.
Encryption
Encryption requirements for data in transit and at rest should be defined against the selected hosting, storage and integration architecture.
Auditability
Events requiring traceability, their consumers, access model and retention period should be agreed for each production workflow.
Data Handling
Storage, processing, retention, deletion and consent responsibilities should be documented before production data is introduced.
Infrastructure
Hosting topology, network boundaries, isolation and operational ownership depend on the agreed deployment architecture.
Backup & Recovery
Backup coverage, retention, restore objectives and recovery testing require an agreed infrastructure and operating model.
Monitoring
Operational and security telemetry, alert routing and response responsibilities should be captured in a deployment runbook.
Application Security
Authentication, validation, secrets, dependencies and interface risks should be considered through design, development and release.
Certification disclosure
No unverified certification badges.
Current company documentation does not confirm certifications such as ISO 27001, SOC 2 or PCI DSS. No certification badge is displayed until valid scope and supporting evidence are available.
Security considerations continue through delivery.
Development practices should be selected according to product risk, deployment architecture and the responsibilities agreed with each enterprise team.
Code review
Changes can be peer-reviewed before release, with repository controls agreed for the delivery environment.
Environment separation
Development, testing and production boundaries should reflect the data and access profile of each environment.
Access controls
Repository, delivery pipeline and infrastructure access should be scoped to defined responsibilities.
Monitoring
Deployed services should expose the telemetry needed for operational review and agreed alert workflows.
Security testing
Testing scope, tools, timing and remediation ownership should be agreed according to system risk and release context.
Control evidence belongs with the implemented system. Review records, test outputs, access configuration and operational runbooks should match the product version and environment being assessed.
