Track M: Security Operations - Evidence Document
Executive Summary
This document provides comprehensive evidence of the security operations implementation for the BIO-QMS platform, a regulated SaaS Quality Management System compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Type II requirements.
Platform Context:
- Regulatory Scope: FDA 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA Privacy & Security Rules, SOC 2 Type II
- Deployment: Google Cloud Platform (GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL)
- Architecture: Microservices with Django backend, React frontend
- Data Classification: Protected Health Information (PHI), Electronic Records (ER)
Security Operations Coverage:
- M.1: Application Security Pipeline (SAST, DAST, SCA, Security Gates)
- M.2: Vulnerability Management (Scanning, CVSS Prioritization, Penetration Testing)
- M.3: Security Incident Response (SIEM, IR Workflows, Forensics, Breach Notification)
- M.4: Secrets & Key Management (GCP Secret Manager, Key Rotation, Compliance)
- M.5: Security Monitoring & Detection (Threat Detection, SOAR, Operations Dashboard)
M.1: Application Security Pipeline
M.1.1: SAST Integration
Implementation Overview
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline using Semgrep as the primary engine with CodeQL for deep semantic analysis.
Technology Stack:
- Primary Engine: Semgrep (open-source, fast, customizable)
- Secondary Engine: GitHub CodeQL (deep dataflow analysis)
- CI/CD Integration: GitHub Actions, Cloud Build
- Custom Rules: Healthcare compliance, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 controls

M.1.2: DAST Scanning Pipeline
Implementation Overview
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) uses OWASP ZAP for automated security scanning of the running application, including authenticated scanning and API security testing.
Technology Stack:
- Primary Tool: OWASP ZAP 2.14+
- Orchestration: Python automation scripts
- CI/CD Integration: Cloud Build, scheduled scans
- Reporting: HTML, JSON, SARIF formats
