Security

Protection proportional to risk and context.

Security is not a control added at the end. It is built into identity, permissions, data, development, infrastructure and operations.

Principles

  • Least privilege
  • Separation of duties
  • Secrets kept out of source code
  • Encryption in transit
  • Updates and vulnerability management
  • Traceability
  • Backups and tested restoration
  • Incident response
  • Privacy by design

Risk management

No connected system can promise zero risk. The objective is to reduce exposure, detect problems and restore operations.
