Security & Compliance

This page condenses SECURITY.md, docs/SECURITY_IMPL_GUIDE.md, docs/SECURITY_AUDIT_PREP.md, docs/BUG_BOUNTY.md, and related incident/response docs.

Current Status

  • Phase: Production-ready (Phase 5 complete).
  • Last Review: 2025-11-14.
  • Coverage: All 10 critical and 10 high issues resolved; controls include MFA, RBAC, network policies, CSRF protection, rate limiting, webhook HMAC, pod security standards, and comprehensive audit logging.

Reporting Vulnerabilities

  • Preferred: GitHub Security Advisories (Security → Report a vulnerability). Response target 48h; critical fixes ship within 1–7 days.
  • Alternate: security@streamspace.io.
  • Reference docs/BUG_BOUNTY.md for bounty scope (rewards up to $10k) and disclosure rules.

Hardening Checklist

  • Secrets & Config: Require strong JWT secret (32+ chars). Externalize DB credentials, webhook secrets, SMTP API keys, and plugin tokens via K8s Secrets or vault integrations.
  • Ingress: Enforce TLS, HSTS, HTTP→HTTPS redirects, and security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options).
  • Pods: Apply restricted PodSecurity policies, ReadOnlyRootFilesystem, drop capabilities, run as non-root, and mount user PVCs with least privilege.
  • Network: Deploy NetworkPolicies limiting API/controller egress, session ingress, and DB connections. Optional service mesh (Istio) + WAF (ModSecurity) supported.
  • Auth: Enable MFA, IP allowlists, DLP policies, SAML/OIDC providers, and session verification where required by compliance frameworks.
  • Monitoring: Forward audit logs to SIEM, enable Prometheus alerts for rate limit breaches, webhook failures, and hibernation anomalies.

Compliance & Audit Prep

  • Frameworks: SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR guidance documented with evidence requirements (logs, access reviews, backup schedule).
  • Artifacts: Maintain architecture diagrams, runbooks, incident response plans (docs/INCIDENT_RESPONSE.md), and change logs for auditors.
  • Testing: Execute recurring penetration tests, OWASP ZAP scans, dependency scanning (Semgrep, CodeQL, Gitleaks, govulncheck, npm audit), and Kubernetes manifest scans (Kubesec, Checkov).

Incident Response

  • Severity matrix and playbooks live in docs/INCIDENT_RESPONSE.md.
  • Expect initial acknowledgement within 1 hour for Sev-1, root cause analysis in 24 hours, and postmortem publication within 72 hours.
  • Capture forensic data (controller/API logs, audit trails, Kubernetes events) before remediation when safe.

Extending the platform (new APIs, templates, plugins) must include security considerations documented here plus updates to SECURITY.md where relevant.
