# Security & Compliance

Security posture and compliance scanning for BlumeOps infrastructure.

## Compliance frameworks

| Framework | Tool | Cluster | Notes |
|-----------|------|---------|-------|
| CIS Kubernetes Benchmark v1.11 | [[prowler]] | minikube-indri | Weekly CronJob, ~82 checks |
| PCI DSS v4.0 (K8s mapping) | [[prowler]] | minikube-indri | Reuses CIS checks mapped to PCI requirements |
| ISO 27001:2022 (K8s mapping) | [[prowler]] | minikube-indri | Partial — 22 of 92 controls mapped |

## Scanning tools

- [[prowler]] — CIS Kubernetes Benchmark scanner (weekly CronJob). The container-image CVE scan and IaC scan were retired in 2026-06 (un-actioned noise — see [[deploy-prowler#Why only the K8s CIS scan]]); only the K8s CIS scan remains.
  - [[deploy-prowler]] — deployment and ad-hoc scan how-to
  - [[read-compliance-reports]] — accessing and interpreting reports
- [[kingfisher]] — Secret detection and live validation for Forgejo repos (weekly CronJob + prek hook)

## Identity & access

- [[authentik]] — SSO/OIDC provider for all web services
- RBAC — Kubernetes role-based access control (audited by Prowler RBAC checks)

## Network & TLS

- [[caddy]] — TLS termination for `*.ops.eblu.me` services
- [[flyio-proxy]] — public ingress via Fly.io tunnel
- Tailscale — zero-trust mesh networking across all nodes

## Secrets management

- [[1password]] — root credential store
- [[external-secrets]] — Kubernetes secrets synced from 1Password

## Reports

All compliance scan reports are stored on `sifaka:/volume1/reports/`. See [[read-compliance-reports]] for access and interpretation.

Suppressed findings are kept in Prowler mutelist YAML under `argocd/manifests/prowler/mutelist/`. Each entry's `Description` field explains why the finding is muted; entries are reviewed ad-hoc rather than on a scheduled cadence.

## Known gaps

- No SOC 2 compliance mapping for Kubernetes (Prowler only maps SOC 2 for AWS/Azure/GCP)
- k3s control plane checks produce no results (embedded binary, no static pods) — consider kube-bench
- No container-image CVE scanning (the Prowler image scan was retired 2026-06 as un-actioned noise). If reintroduced, scope it to critical-severity, currently-deployed tags, alert-on-new
- No automated IaC misconfiguration scanning (the Prowler IaC scan was retired 2026-06). Manifest pod-security hardening is now an accept-and-document decision rather than a weekly report
