The Security Pillar
Protect workloads against threats, misconfigurations, and unauthorized access — across identity, network, data, and runtime.
Security as a continuous practice
The Security pillar turns cloud security from a checklist into an architecture discipline — with controls that are observable, enforceable, and traceable.
Layer controls across identity, network, compute, storage, and application so no single failure exposes the whole workload.
Most breaches start with misconfiguration. WAF-SEC controls catch public storage, open ports, weak IAM, and missing encryption before production.
Express security requirements as versioned, testable code so every change is reviewed in CI/CD, not in an emergency.
What the Security pillar covers
From zero-trust identity to encrypted data and compliant audit trails.
Least-privilege IAM, MFA enforcement, role separation, and just-in-time access for humans and machines.
Encryption at rest and in transit, key management, classification, and retention policies that match regulatory scope.
Segmentation, private endpoints, egress controls, container hardening, and vulnerability management.
Traceable evidence for GDPR, BSI C5, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and NIS2 — generated automatically by WAFPass.
Three levels of security maturity
Progress from basic hygiene to proactive, threat-informed security engineering.
Encryption, patching, MFA, logging, and least-privilege access are in place for all production workloads.
Security policies are encoded, tested in CI/CD, and reviewed automatically before every deployment.
Threat modeling, continuous detection, automated response, and red-team validation are part of normal engineering.
