Zorluk: OrtaSecurity Governance Structures and Policy Frameworks

A financial technology company operating a cloud-native microservices platform requires all container host nodes processing sensitive transaction data to comply with a specific, mandatory set of minimum technical security settings, such as disabling root SSH logins and enabling kernel audit logging. Which of the following governance documents should the security architecture team publish to define these mandatory, platform-specific minimum configuration settings?

  1. Security baselineCevap
  2. B
    Security guideline
  3. C
    Acceptable use policy
  4. D
    Organizational security policy

Cevap

The security baseline is the correct document type because it specifies mandatory minimum technical configuration standards for targeted platforms or operating systems.
A security baseline specifies mandatory minimum configuration settings tailored to a particular operating system, cloud platform, or device role. System-level hardening parameters like kernel audit configurations and SSH restrictions represent platform-specific baseline settings.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the scenario requirements
The requirement calls for a mandatory, platform-specific set of low-level technical hardening rules (disabling root SSH, enabling kernel audit logging) across container host nodes.
Determining whether a governance document is mandatory vs discretionary and high-level vs system-specific identifies its position in the governance hierarchy.
2
Evaluate governance document types against the requirements
A security baseline translates broader policies and standards into a mandatory, reproducible minimum configuration state for specific hardware, software, or operating systems.
Baselines ensure consistent enforcement of minimum security settings across identical platform deployments.
