🛡️ 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 trustSLOs, 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

✅ 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.
