🛡️ Cybersecurity & Trust

Earn It, Measure It, Prove It — Every Day

“Secure” is necessary. Trusted is what wins customers, regulators, and partners.
SolveForce unifies Cybersecurity & Trust into one operating system for your business: Zero-Trust access, provable controls, transparent operations, and evidence on demand. We design, run, and continuously verify a stack where the binder matches the build, not just at audit time but every day.

Foundations that this page ties together:
• Program & Ops → /cybersecurity • Evidence → /siem-soar • Governance → /grc
• Access & Edge → /ztna • /sase • Campus → /nac • Web/API → /waf • /ddos
• Custody → /key-management • /secrets-management • /encryption
• Detection → /mdr-xdr • /ndr • Resilience → /backup-immutability • /draas
• Data & AI → /data-governance • /tokenization • /ai-cybersecurity • /solveforce-ai
• Platforms → /cloud • /virtual-data-centers • Rails → /connectivity • /sd-wan

🎯 What We Mean by “Trust”

Technical trust — cryptographic guarantees (identity, keys, signatures, attestations), segmentation, and least-privilege controls that are continuously enforced.
Operational trust — SLOs, change control, incident response, DR drills, and third-party oversight that behave when stakes are high.
Social & regulatory trust — clear policies, privacy by design, compliant evidence packs for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / NIST / HIPAA / PCI / FedRAMP.
Business trust — transparent cost and risk signals (FinOps + risk registers) and a roadmap you can show to customers and boards. → /finops • /grc

Principle: If we can’t measure it and prove it, we don’t call it “trusted.”

🧭 Trust Architecture (language-first, Zero-Trust by default)

1) Identity & Access (who/what) → SSO/MFA, RBAC/ABAC, Joiner-Mover-Leaver automation; PAM JIT with session recording; ZTNA for private apps; SASE for web/SaaS; NAC 802.1X on ports.
→ /iam • /identity-lifecycle • /pam • /ztna • /sase • /nac

2) Custody & Boundaries (keys & edges) → HSM/KMS CMKs, vault-issued secrets, WAF/Bot/DDoS, API signing (JWT/HMAC/JWS), email trust SPF/DKIM/DMARC/BIMI to p=reject.
→ /key-management • /secrets-management • /waf • /ddos • /email-auth

3) Data Truth (labels & lineage) → data contracts, lineage, quality gates; labels (PII/PHI/PAN/CUI) with DLP/tokenization; encryption in transit/at rest.
→ /data-governance • /tokenization • /encryption

4) Assurance (detect/respond) → SIEM correlation across endpoints (MDR/XDR), networks (NDR), clouds and SaaS; SOAR runbooks: isolate, revoke, re-key, roll back, patch.
→ /siem-soar • /mdr-xdr • /ndr

5) Resilience (recover & prove) → Object-Lock/WORM backups, clean-point catalogs, DRaaS and drills with screenshots/checksums/timings.
→ /backup-immutability • /draas

6) Transparency (binder = build) → configs/changes/approvals/tests streamed to SIEM, monthly ConMon & QBR packs.
→ /grc • /siem-soar

🧱 Capabilities That Create Trust

Identity & Privilege You Can Audit

SSO/MFA everywhere; no standing admin (use PAM JIT with approvals); device posture gates (MDM/UEM + EDR); workload identity (OIDC/IRSA) → no long-lived keys.
Quarterly access certifications with attestations in GRC. → /mdr-xdr • /grc

Cryptographic Custody That Holds Up

CMKs in HSM/KMS, dual-control rotation ceremonies; vault for ephemeral app tokens; MACsec/L1 optional on private transport.
Signed images & SBOMs for workloads; attestation for builds and model artifacts (AI). → /key-management • /secrets-management

Trusted Edges & Protocol Hygiene

WAF/Bot/DDoS at public edges; API schemas & signing; strict TLS; email auth to p=reject in 60–90 days; DNS integrity; BGP hygiene (RTBH/Flowspec).
→ /waf • /ddos • /email-auth

Data Integrity, Privacy & Least Necessary

Column-level lineage, contracts, and DQ; labels drive masking/tokenization; DLP at SaaS/email/API; purpose, retention, residency baked in.
→ /data-governance • /dlp • /tokenization

Detection, Response & Learning Loops

Unified detections (cloud/endpoint/network/identity/email/WAF); SOAR runbooks with human-in-the-loop for risky changes; incidents become playbooks.
→ /siem-soar

Resilience That Ransomware Can’t Break

Immutable backups, DR runbooks, DR tests, and wipe attestations on decommission; acceptance proofs archived.
→ /backup-immutability • /draas

Third-Party & Supply-Chain Trust

Supplier Graph: SOC2/ISO/BAAs/AOCs, SBOMs where available, DMARC posture, incident comms SLAs; diversity in carriers and POPs. → /team-of-suppliers

🔐 Trust for AI & Automation (responsible by design)

Guarded RAG: assistants must cite or refuse; retrieval pre-filters by labels/ACLs to avoid leakage; refusal ledger for audits.
AI supply-chain: dataset statements, model cards, signed artifacts, sandboxed tools; SOAR rolls back on drift/cost breaches.
→ /ai-cybersecurity • /solveforce-ai

📐 SLO Guardrails (trust you can measure)

Domain	KPI / SLO (p95 unless noted)	Target (Recommended)
Access	ZTNA attach (user→app)	≤ 1–3 s
Email Trust	DMARC enforcement	p=reject ≤ 60–90 days
Detection	MTTD (Sev-1 via SIEM correlation)	≤ 5–10 min
Response	MTTC (containment start)	≤ 15–30 min
Endpoints	EDR/MDM compliance	≥ 98–100%
Custody	Key/secret rotation SLAs met	= 100%
Data	Label coverage (in-scope systems)	= 100%
Resilience	Backup immutability coverage (Tier-1)	= 100%
DR	RTO / RPO (Tier-1 apps)	≤ 5–60 min / ≤ 0–15 min
Transparency	Logs/artifacts → SIEM	≤ 60–120 s
Change	Unapproved prod changes	= 0

Breaches open a SOAR case and run guarded actions (reroute, isolate, re-key, roll back, tighten policy), attaching screenshots/hashes/timings. → /siem-soar

✅ Acceptance Tests & Trust Artifacts (we keep the receipts)

Identity: JIT elevation proofs, MFA challenges, access-review exports, SCIM traces.
Edges: WAF rules & diffs, DDoS drill reports, API schema/signature checks, email auth headers + TLS-RPT.
Custody: KMS/HSM rotation logs, vault audit trails, code-sign attestations, SBOMs.
Data: lineage coverage %, DQ results, label propagation tests, DLP block/redact logs.
Detection/IR: SIEM correlation screenshots, SOAR runbook execution logs, incident RCAs.
Resilience: Object-Lock configs, restore screenshots/checksums, DR timings & pass/fail.
All of it lands in /siem-soar and rolls up to auditor/QBR packs in /grc.
