VectorVue Security Policy
1. Purpose
This Security Policy defines the security principles, controls, and operational standards governing the design, deployment, and operation of VectorVue.
VectorVue is a security intelligence and operational platform. Its integrity, confidentiality, and auditability are foundational requirements.
2. Security Principles
VectorVue is designed following these core principles:
- Zero Trust Architecture
- Least Privilege Access
- Defense in Depth
- Immutable Audit Logging
- Encryption by Default
- Secure-by-Design Development
3. Authentication & Access Control
3.1 Identity Management
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is mandatory.
- Privileged roles must require elevated authentication controls.
- Default accounts must be disabled or rotated during installation.
3.2 Multi-Factor Authentication (Recommended)
For production deployments:
- MFA should be enabled for all administrative accounts.
- API keys must be scoped and revocable.
4. Cryptographic Controls
VectorVue enforces:
- TLS encryption for all network communication
- Encryption at rest for sensitive storage
- Secure hashing for credentials
- Key isolation and rotation support
Self-hosted operators are responsible for:
- Proper certificate management
- Secure key storage
- Backup encryption
5. Audit Logging & Integrity
VectorVue maintains:
- Immutable audit trails
- Operator activity logs
- Execution history tracking
- Approval workflow records
Audit logs must not be:
- Disabled
- Modified retroactively
- Deleted outside retention policy
Tampering attempts may trigger automatic integrity alerts.
6. Deployment Security (Self-Hosted)
Operators must ensure:
- Hardened host OS
- Network segmentation
- Firewall restrictions
- Principle of least exposure
- Secure container runtime (if containerized)
- Timely patching
VectorVue is not responsible for insecure infrastructure configurations.
7. SaaS Security (Future Model)
In a managed SaaS deployment:
- Tenant isolation will be enforced
- Logical data segregation guaranteed
- Continuous monitoring enabled
- Abuse detection mechanisms active
- Regulatory alignment pursued (SOC2, ISO 27001 roadmap)
8. Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL)
VectorVue follows:
- Code review requirements
- Dependency scanning
- Static analysis
- Version control integrity
- Signed release artifacts (recommended)
9. Vulnerability Management
- Vulnerabilities should be reported via SECURITY.md.
- Critical vulnerabilities receive prioritized remediation.
- Security patches will be documented in release notes.
- Coordinated disclosure practices apply.
10. Incident Response
In case of security incident:
- Isolate affected systems
- Preserve audit logs
- Assess impact scope
- Notify stakeholders as required by law
- Remediate root cause
SaaS deployments will maintain documented IR procedures.
11. Compliance Responsibility
VectorVue provides security capabilities but does not guarantee regulatory compliance.
Operators are responsible for:
- Legal authorization
- Data protection compliance
- Local regulatory adherence
12. Policy Enforcement
Violation of this Security Policy may result in:
- Termination of access
- License revocation
- Legal action
13. Updates
This Security Policy may evolve as the platform matures toward enterprise and SaaS models.
