Strategic Security Objectives (3-Year)¶
Objective 1: Zero-Trust Architecture Implementation¶
Target: Migrate all internal services to zero-trust networking by 2027-Q2 - Require authentication for all API calls (already: JWT) - Implement certificate pinning on desktop app (completed: SHA-256 validation) - Enable mTLS between microservices (Q2 2026) - Eliminate IP-based trust assumptions
Owner: System Architect KPI: 100% of services enforce certificate/token validation
Objective 2: Reduce Vulnerability Resolution Time¶
Target: Average 30 days for critical CVEs (down from 60 days) - Automate vulnerability scanning (completed: Trivy, pip-audit, npm audit, CodeQL) - Establish SLA: Critical 30d, High 60d, Medium/Low 90d - Quarterly patch deployment cycle
Owner: Infrastructure Team KPI: 95% of critical patches deployed within 30 days
Objective 3: 100% Compliance Audit Readiness¶
Target: Pass independent SOC 2 Type II audit by 2026-Q4 - Complete ISO 27001 ISMS documentation (this package) - Implement all control objectives (A.5 through A.18) - Achieve 100% control testing coverage
Owner: Compliance Officer KPI: Audit readiness checklist ≥95% completed
Objective 4: Eliminate Default Credentials & Hardcoded Secrets¶
Target: Zero instances of default credentials in production - Auto-generate admin password at first launch (completed) - Rotate API keys quarterly - Scan repository history for secrets (completed: via SAST + pre-commit hooks)
Owner: Security Lead KPI: Zero new instances detected in security scan
Objective 5: Achieve 99.95% Availability¶
Target: Reduce unplanned downtime to <2.2 hours/year - Implement automated failover (Q2 2026) - Complete RTO/RPO targets (4h RTO, 1h RPO) - Monthly disaster recovery drill
Owner: Ops Team KPI: Measured monthly uptime ≥99.95%
