🛡️ Security Architecture Summary

The CODITECT Security Moat: 7 Layers

Based on 2024-2025 industry best practices including:

OWASP Top 10:2021
OWASP API Security Top 10:2023
OWASP Kubernetes Top 10
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
Google Cloud Security Best Practices
CIS Benchmarks

Layer 1: Cloud & Physical Security (GCP)

Google-managed data centers (ISO 27001)
Hardware Security Modules (FIPS 140-2 Level 3)
Physical security controls

Layer 2: Network & DDoS Protection

✅ Cloud Armor Adaptive Protection (L3/L4/L7 DDoS)
✅ WAF with OWASP ModSecurity CRS rules
✅ Rate limiting (100 req/min per IP)
✅ Geo-blocking (US/EU allowlist)

Layer 3: Kubernetes Security

✅ Network Policies (default deny + allowlist)
✅ Pod Security Standards (restricted baseline)
✅ RBAC (least-privilege roles)
✅ Workload Identity (no service account keys)

Layer 4: Network Isolation

✅ VPC Private Subnets
✅ Private IPs for databases (Cloud SQL, Redis)
✅ TLS 1.3 encryption in transit
✅ Cloud NAT (egress-only internet)

Layer 5: Application Security (Django)

✅ Identity Platform JWT authentication
✅ Multi-tenant row-level isolation (django-multitenant)
✅ CSRF protection (Django middleware)
✅ SQL injection prevention (ORM)
✅ XSS protection (auto-escaping)

Layer 6: Data Security

✅ Cloud KMS CMEK encryption at rest
✅ RSA-4096 license signing (tamper-proof)
✅ GCP Secret Manager (centralized secrets)
✅ Database encryption (AES-256)

Layer 7: Observability & Response

✅ Cloud Logging (100% request sampling)
✅ Prometheus anomaly detection
✅ Automated incident response
✅ Complete audit trail (Cloud Audit Logs)
