Security Standards Compliance

This infrastructure implements the following security frameworks:

  • PCI DSS: Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliance
  • CIS Benchmarks: Center for Internet Security configuration standards
  • AWS Security Best Practices: Well-Architected Framework security pillar
  • GCP Security Best Practices: Google Cloud security foundations

Security Architecture

Network Security

  • Private Subnets: All compute resources deployed in private subnets
  • Network Segmentation: Environment and application-level isolation
  • VPN Connectivity: Secure site-to-site connectivity for hybrid deployments
  • Firewall Rules: Principle of least privilege network access controls
  • Transit Gateway: Centralized routing with security inspection

Identity and Access Management

  • IAM Roles: Service-specific roles with minimal required permissions
  • Cross-Account Access: Secure delegation using assumable roles
  • Workload Identity: GCP workload identity federation for secure service authentication
  • MFA Enforcement: Multi-factor authentication required for administrative access
  • Regular Access Reviews: Quarterly review of user permissions and roles

Data Protection

  • Encryption at Rest: All data encrypted using cloud-native KMS services
  • Encryption in Transit: TLS 1.2+ for all data transmission
  • Key Management: Centralized key management using AWS KMS and Google Cloud KMS
  • Backup Encryption: All backups encrypted with separate key rotation
  • Database Security: Private endpoints, SSL connections, and audit logging

Monitoring and Logging

  • CloudTrail/Audit Logs: Comprehensive API activity logging
  • Security Monitoring: GuardDuty and Security Command Center integration
  • Log Aggregation: Centralized logging with retention policies
  • Alerting: Real-time security event notifications
  • Compliance Reporting: Automated compliance status reporting

Vulnerability Management

Reporting Security Issues

Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.

Instead, please send an email to: security@cloudon-one.com

Include the following information:

  • Description of the potential vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Potential impact assessment
  • Any suggested remediation

Response Timeline

  • Acknowledgment: Within 24 hours
  • Initial Assessment: Within 72 hours
  • Status Updates: Every 7 days until resolution
  • Resolution Target: 30 days for critical, 90 days for others

Security Testing

We encourage responsible security research including:

  • Static Analysis: Regular code security scanning
  • Penetration Testing: Annual third-party security assessments
  • Compliance Audits: Quarterly internal compliance reviews
  • Vulnerability Scanning: Automated infrastructure scanning

Security Controls Implementation

Critical Security Controls

  1. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

    • Required for all administrative access
    • Hardware tokens recommended for production

  2. Network Access Controls

    • Private subnets for all workloads
    • Bastion hosts for administrative access
    • VPN-only access to management interfaces

  3. Data Encryption

    • AES-256 encryption for data at rest
    • TLS 1.2+ for data in transit
    • Separate encryption keys per environment

  4. Audit Logging

    • All API calls logged and retained
    • Log integrity protection enabled
    • Real-time log monitoring and alerting

  5. Access Management

    • Role-based access control (RBAC)
    • Principle of least privilege
    • Regular access certification

Environment-Specific Controls

Production Environments

  • Deletion Protection: Enabled for all critical resources
  • Backup Retention: Minimum 30 days with cross-region replication
  • Change Management: Peer review required for all changes
  • Monitoring: Enhanced monitoring and alerting enabled

Development/Staging Environments

  • Cost Controls: Resource limits and automatic shutdown
  • Data Masking: Production data anonymization
  • Time-bound Access: Temporary elevated permissions

Incident Response

Security Incident Classification

  • P0 - Critical: Active security breach or data exposure
  • P1 - High: Potential security vulnerability with high impact
  • P2 - Medium: Security misconfiguration or policy violation
  • P3 - Low: Security enhancement or informational finding

Response Process

  1. Detection: Automated monitoring and manual reporting
  2. Assessment: Initial impact and scope determination
  3. Containment: Immediate actions to limit exposure
  4. Investigation: Root cause analysis and evidence collection
  5. Recovery: System restoration and vulnerability remediation
  6. Lessons Learned: Post-incident review and process improvement

Compliance and Auditing

Regular Assessments

  • Monthly: Automated compliance scanning
  • Quarterly: Internal security reviews
  • Annually: Third-party security audit
  • As Needed: Incident-driven assessments

Documentation Requirements

  • Security Configurations: All security settings documented
  • Change Logs: Complete audit trail of modifications
  • Access Records: User access and permission history
  • Compliance Evidence: Artifacts for regulatory requirements

Security Training and Awareness

Required Training

  • Security Awareness: Annual training for all team members
  • Cloud Security: Platform-specific security training
  • Incident Response: Quarterly incident response drills
  • Compliance: Regular updates on regulatory requirements
