# ADR-009: Complete Security System Implementation

Status: Implemented Date: 2025-10-08 Decision Makers: Architecture Team

## Context

The Provisioning platform required a comprehensive, enterprise-grade security system covering authentication, authorization, secrets management, MFA, compliance, and emergency access. The system needed to be production-ready, scalable, and compliant with GDPR, SOC2, and ISO 27001.

    ## Monitoring & Alerts

    ### Metrics to Monitor

    - Authentication failures (rate, sources)
    - Authorization denials (policies, resources)
    - MFA failures (attempts, users)
    - Token revocations (rate, reasons)
    - Break-glass activations (frequency, duration)
    - Secrets generation (rate, types)
    - Audit log volume (events/sec)

    ### Alerts to Configure

    - Multiple failed auth attempts (5+ in 5min)
    - Break-glass session created
    - Compliance report non-compliant
    - Incident severity critical/high
    - Token revocation spike
    - KMS errors
    - Audit log export failures

    ---

    ## Maintenance

    ### Daily

    - Monitor audit logs for anomalies
    - Review failed authentication attempts
    - Check break-glass sessions (should be zero)

    ### Weekly

    - Review compliance reports
    - Check incident response status
    - Verify backup code usage
    - Review MFA device additions/removals

    ### Monthly

    - Rotate KMS keys
    - Review and update Cedar policies
    - Generate compliance reports (GDPR, SOC2, ISO)
    - Audit access control matrix

    ### Quarterly

    - Full security audit
    - Penetration testing
    - Compliance certification review
    - Update security documentation

    ---

    ## Migration Path

    ### From Existing System

    1. **Phase 1**: Deploy security infrastructure

       - Control Center

    2. **Phase 2**: Migrate authentication
       - Enable JWT authentication
       - Migrate existing users
       - Disable old auth system

    3. **Phase 3**: Enable MFA
       - Require MFA enrollment for admins
       - Gradual rollout to all users

    4. **Phase 4**: Enable Cedar authorization
       - Deploy initial policies (permissive)
       - Monitor authorization decisions
       - Tighten policies incrementally

    5. **Phase 5**: Enable advanced features
       - Break-glass procedures
       - Compliance reporting
       - Incident response

    ## Future Enhancements

    ### Planned (Not Implemented)

    - **Hardware Security Module (HSM)** integration
    - **OAuth2/OIDC** federation
    - **SAML SSO** for enterprise
    - **Risk-based authentication** (IP reputation, device fingerprinting)
    - **Behavioral analytics** (anomaly detection)
    - **Zero-Trust Network** (service mesh integration)

    ### Under Consideration

    - **Blockchain audit log** (immutable append-only log)
    - **Quantum-resistant cryptography** (post-quantum algorithms)
    - **Confidential computing** (SGX/SEV enclaves)
    - **Distributed break-glass** (multi-region approval)

    ---

    ## Consequences

    ### Positive

    ✅ **Enterprise-grade security** meeting GDPR, SOC2, ISO 27001
    ✅ **Zero static credentials** (all dynamic, time-limited)
    ✅ **Complete audit trail** (immutable, GDPR-compliant)
    ✅ **MFA-enforced** for sensitive operations
    ✅ **Emergency access** with enhanced controls
    ✅ **Fine-grained authorization** (Cedar policies)
    ✅ **Automated compliance** (reports, incident response)

    ### Negative

    ⚠️ **Increased complexity** (12 components to manage)
    ⚠️ **Performance overhead** (~10-20ms per request)
    ⚠️ **Memory footprint** (~260MB additional)
    ⚠️ **Learning curve** (Cedar policy language, MFA setup)
    ⚠️ **Operational overhead** (key rotation, policy updates)

    ### Mitigations

    - Comprehensive documentation (ADRs, guides, API docs)
    - CLI commands for all operations
    - Automated monitoring and alerting
    - Gradual rollout with feature flags
    - Training materials for operators
