Erich Blume 4059b3d27b Add compensating controls framework and date-based report dirs (#320)
## Summary

- Add `compensating-controls.yaml` tracking 9 named controls that justify suppressed security findings
- Update all Prowler mutelist descriptions with `CC: <id>` references to named controls
- Add `mise run review-compensating-controls` task — surfaces stalest control with all codebase references
- Add [[review-compensating-controls]] how-to doc
- Organize Prowler and Kingfisher reports into `YYYY-MM-DD` subdirectories

### Compensating controls

| ID | Mitigates |
|----|-----------|
| `single-user-cluster` | Image cache abuse, RBAC breadth, system pod privileges |
| `tailscale-network-isolation` | Profiling endpoints, weak TLS, debug ports |
| `local-registry` | AlwaysPullImages gap |
| `sso-gated-admin-tools` | ArgoCD wildcard RBAC |
| `operator-managed-pods` | Tailscale proxy pod security settings |
| `ephemeral-privileged-jobs` | Prowler hostPID exposure |
| `trusted-ci-only` | Forgejo runner DinD |
| `init-container-isolation` | Grafana root init container |
| `observability-stack-audit` | Missing apiserver audit logging |

## Test plan

- [ ] `mise run review-compensating-controls` shows table and references
- [ ] `kubectl kustomize argocd/manifests/prowler/` renders correctly
- [ ] Sync prowler and kingfisher, verify next scan writes to dated subdirectory
- [ ] Grep for `CC:` in mutelist files — every muted finding should have at least one

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)
  • 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

Reports

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

Compensating controls

Suppressed findings reference named compensating controls tracked in compensating-controls.yaml (repo root). Each control has a review date and verification steps. See review-compensating-controls for the review process.

mise run review-compensating-controls

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
  • Container image scanning covers blumeops/* images only — upstream images (ollama, immich, etc.) are not scanned
  • IaC scanning covers the blumeops repo only — no scanning of third-party Helm charts or vendored manifests
