Data Security Overview (Controlled Draft)

1. Purpose

This overview explains the security principles OperelliOS intends to apply. It is not a certification, audit report, warranty, or service-level agreement.

Only controls verified in the production environment should appear as factual public commitments. Items marked for verification must be resolved before this page becomes effective.

2. Tenant Isolation

OperelliOS is architected as a multi-tenant system in which each request and mutation must remain scoped to the authenticated tenant.

Tenant identity should be established before policy evaluation and domain access. Cross-tenant access is prohibited unless an explicitly governed administrative function is approved, scoped, and audited.

[ENGINEERING VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Confirm production tenant-resolution, query scoping, background-worker scoping, public-token scoping, and automated isolation tests.]

3. Identity and Access

Access should be tied to individual identities and governed by role and policy checks. Shared credentials and direct mutation paths that bypass authorization are prohibited.

Account recovery must use the approved identity-provider process and an OperelliOS operational runbook.

[ENGINEERING VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Confirm identity provider, MFA availability, session lifecycle, recovery process, privileged access, and periodic access review.]

4. Governed Mutations and Auditability

Protected mutations should follow the OperelliOS mutation spine: Identity → Policy → Domain Mutation → Audit → Outbox → Side Effects.

This design separates the system-of-record change from downstream email, notifications, and other effects, reducing hidden or unaudited behavior.

[ENGINEERING VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Confirm coverage for every public and administrative mutation represented on the website.]

5. Deterministic Financial Controls

Financial truth belongs to deterministic engines. AI may draft or explain but may not establish final pricing, taxes, invoice totals, payment state, or accounting records.

Changes to financial engines and estimate workflows should be scoped, reviewed, tested, and protected from broad refactors.

6. Secure Development and Change Control

OperelliOS follows a kernel-first change model: doctrine, audit, surgical patch, executable guardrail, verification, and stop.

Protected database migrations are additive and ordered; they should not be deleted, renamed, reordered, squashed, or regenerated casually.

[ENGINEERING VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Confirm branch protection, review requirements, dependency management, secret scanning, static analysis, release approval, and production change records.]

7. Encryption and Secrets

[ENGINEERING VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Confirm encryption in transit, encryption at rest, certificate management, key management, secret storage, rotation, and access controls before making a public statement.]

This draft intentionally makes no certification-level or algorithm-specific claim.

8. Logging, Monitoring, and Incident Response

Security-relevant events should be logged with tenant context and protected from unauthorized alteration. Monitoring should support detection, investigation, and controlled response.

[ENGINEERING VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Confirm audit-log coverage, operational logs, alert ownership, retention, clock synchronization, incident severity model, evidence preservation, and notification process.]

[LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED: Approve any breach-notification commitment; applicable deadlines vary by jurisdiction and contract.]

9. Availability, Backups, and Recovery

[ENGINEERING VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Confirm backup scope, frequency, encryption, isolation, restoration testing, recovery objectives, and ownership.]

No uptime percentage, recovery-time objective, recovery-point objective, redundancy claim, or backup frequency is promised in this draft.

10. Vendor and Subprocessor Governance

Vendors should receive only the access and data necessary for their approved purpose and should be reviewed before production use.

The Subprocessor List must reflect actual providers, purposes, data categories, locations, and product layers.

[ENGINEERING/LEGAL VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Confirm contracts, data-use restrictions, incident duties, deletion, subprocessor changes, and exit procedures.]

11. Security Testing

[ENGINEERING VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Confirm automated tests, tenant-isolation tests, dependency and vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, remediation ownership, and disclosure process.]

Do not claim a test cadence or independent audit until evidence exists.

12. Certifications and Compliance

OperelliOS does not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, or other certification or compliance status through this draft.

Applicable privacy and security obligations depend on product use, data, geography, vendors, and contracts. Any future certification statement must be supported by current evidence and exact scope.

13. Customer Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for assigning appropriate roles, removing former users, protecting devices and credentials, reviewing public-link recipients, securing exported information, and reporting suspected compromise promptly.

Security is shared, but OperelliOS may not transfer responsibility for platform controls that only OperelliOS can operate.

14. Reporting Security Concerns

Security concerns: [LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED: Confirm legal and privacy contact email]

[PRODUCT DECISION REQUIRED: Establish a dedicated security-reporting address, triage process, severity model, safe-harbor language, and coordinated disclosure process.]
