Security review
Minimum read-only access for an incident investigation
Work out the least privilege that still answers the question, before a security review asks. One row per evidence system: what it is read for, the narrowest scope that satisfies it, who grants it, and who revokes it.
- □ List every system an investigation must read — logs, metrics, traces, deploy history, tickets — and what question each one answers
- □ For each, write the narrowest scope that still answers it: read-only, time-bounded, and scoped to a namespace or service rather than an account
- □ Name who grants each scope and who revokes it, with the date the grant expires
- □ Decide what must never leave your network, then pick the deployment that honours it rather than the other way round
- □ Agree the retention window for evidence copies before the first investigation runs, not after
