Security and Compliance

• Data Security

  BDRC employs a minimal-data-access architecture to ensure robust data protection.

  BDRC interacts exclusively with non-sensitive metadata (e.g., instance configurations, timestamps, permissions) and does not collect, store, or process actual user data (e.g., files, databases, application content). This design aligns with GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance requirements, minimizing exposure to sensitive information.
  
  
  Secure, API-Driven Integration：
  All interactions leverage industry-standard OpenAPIs provided by cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP). These APIs enable BDRC to assess data protection status (e.g., encryption settings, backup policies) without requiring direct access to underlying data. Authentication and encryption are enforced at the API level, ensuring secure, auditable access.

• Access Control

  BDRC adheres to security best practices by implementing strict access controls and transparent authorization mechanisms.

  Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) Minimal Permissions:
  BDRC operates with only the essential permissions required to monitor data protection status (e.g., reading metadata, checking backup configurations). No Hidden Access: No additional or "hidden" permissions are utilized, ensuring full transparency and alignment with GDPR, SOC 2, and CIS benchmarks. Compliance Alignment: This approach minimizes attack surfaces and reduces the risk of privilege escalation, meeting global regulatory requirements.
  
  RAM-Based Authorization Framework Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):
  BDRC leverages Resource Access Management (RAM) identities to authenticate and authorize actions. Secure Detection & Remediation: Detecting data protection status (e.g., encryption gaps, backup failures) requires RAM-based authentication. Implementing countermeasures (e.g., enabling encryption, configuring backups) also demands explicit RAM permissions, ensuring accountability and audit-ability. Temporary Credentials: Access is granted via short-lived tokens or temporary credentials, reducing long-term exposure risks.

• Logging and auditing

  BDRC ensures full traceability of all activities through detailed logging and auditing mechanisms. This provides end-to-end visibility into cloud resource monitoring, risk management, and policy enforcement.

  Scan Auditing Cloud Resource Scans:
  Every scan performed by BDRC on cloud resources (e.g., instances, storage, databases) is automatically logged, including timestamps, scope, and results. Audit Trail: Logs capture metadata such as scan triggers, configurations, and detected risks, enabling forensic analysis and compliance validation.
  
  Integration:
  Logs are stored in a structured format (e.g., JSON) and can be exported for integration with SIEM tools (e.g., Splunk, ELK Stack). Operation Auditing User Actions: All operations, including score queries, risk resolution workflows, policy creation, and configuration changes, are recorded with user identity, timestamp, and action details.
  
  Transparency:
  Logs provide a complete audit trail for governance teams to verify compliance with internal policies and external regulations (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2). Access Control: Audit logs are protected by role-based access controls (RBAC) to ensure only authorized personnel can view or modify them.
