cloud-security-service-model

Enterprise cloud security operating model for Azure and hybrid environments — defines service scope, governance, controls-as-code, metrics, and measurable outcomes for security leaders and platform teams.

Part of the Coding-Autopilot-System portfolio of enterprise AI and platform engineering artifacts.

What this repo is

This repository is a public-safe, enterprise-grade operating model for a Cloud Security Service delivered as a service/product. It defines scope, boundaries, governance, metrics, runbooks, and implementation stubs to help platform and security leaders stand up a predictable, measurable cloud security capability.

Who it's for

• Head of Cloud Platform Services
• Security leadership (CISO org)
• Cloud engineering leads
• Audit/compliance stakeholders

Problem it solves

Organizations often treat cloud security as a toolset. This repo reframes it as a service with clear ownership, interfaces, measurable outcomes, and lifecycle management across Azure and hybrid/on-prem environments.

Scope

• Azure and hybrid coverage (Azure Arc and Azure Local/on-prem)
• Policy, identity, logging, incident response, and governance
• Controls as Code examples (policy, IaC, detection)

Non-scope

• Tenant-specific configurations or secrets
• Production-ready infrastructure code
• Vendor-specific operational details beyond Azure and hybrid scope

Service boundaries (summary)

• We do: define standards, manage policy-as-code, enable monitoring, coordinate incident response, provide evidence.
• We don't: own app code, operate app teams' pipelines, or run business application production on their behalf.

How to consume

1. Start with the executive overview and service definition.
2. Use the operating model and KPIs to set expectations.
3. Apply the templates and runbooks in operational workflows.
4. Extend implementation stubs in your own environment.

ISO 27001 / CISSP mapping (high level)

• ISO 27001: The service model maps to control intent areas such as access control, logging, incident response, change management, and risk treatment. See the mapping table in docs/10-audit-readiness.md.
• CISSP domains: Coverage spans Security & Risk Management, Asset Security, Security Engineering, IAM, Security Assessment, Security Operations, and Software Development Security. See docs/00-executive-overview.md.
