User story

As a platform admin, I want to ensure that the Domits platform is secure by implementing robust identity and access management, monitoring threats, and protecting data, so that our users' information and transactions remain safe.

Example mapping

• What if an unauthorized user attempts to access the admin dashboard?
  • The system should immediately flag the attempt, lock the account after a set number of failed login attempts, and notify the security team.
  • Multi-factor authentication should be enforced, requiring additional verification before granting access.
• What if a data breach occurs?
  • A breach response plan should be activated, notifying the security team and affected users.
  • The system should trigger immediate data containment measures, and any exposed data should be encrypted to prevent further leakage.
  • A detailed post-incident report should be generated to investigate the cause and improve defenses.
• What if the system detects a potential vulnerability?
  • An alert should be sent to the security team with details about the vulnerability.
  • A patch management process should be triggered to address the issue, and the affected part of the platform should be restricted until the patch is applied.
• What if a user’s account shows suspicious behavior?
  • The system should lock the account and require additional verification (e.g., through MFA) to ensure the account holder’s identity.
  • The security team should receive an alert with details of the suspicious activity for further investigation.
• What if the platform experiences a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack?
  • A DDoS mitigation strategy should automatically activate, rerouting traffic to maintain service availability.
  • The platform should temporarily limit access from the regions or IP addresses where the attack originated.
• What if a regulatory compliance audit is scheduled?
  • The system should generate reports detailing security policies, encryption methods, and access logs to demonstrate compliance.
  • Any compliance gaps should be identified and addressed before the audit, ensuring that the platform meets all security requirements.
• What if user data is requested for deletion?
  • The system should securely delete the user’s data in compliance with GDPR or relevant regulations, while retaining a record that the request was fulfilled.
  • A backup should ensure the data is removed from all locations, and confirmation should be sent to the user.

Accept criteria

Identity and Access Management:

• [ ] The system should enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all platform users (hosts, guests, and administrators).
• [ ] Role-based access controls (RBAC) should be implemented, ensuring that users can only access resources relevant to their roles.
• [ ] All password management policies should include complexity requirements and regular password updates.

Threat Detection and Monitoring:

• [ ] A system for real-time threat detection should be in place, monitoring for suspicious activities such as unusual login attempts or unauthorized access.
• [ ] Alerts should be sent to the security team when high-risk events are detected, and appropriate actions should be triggered automatically (e.g., blocking access or locking accounts).
• [ ] The platform should include a daily security report summarizing any threats or anomalies.

Data Protection:

• [ ] All user data (including personally identifiable information and payment details) should be encrypted both in transit and at rest.
• [ ] Regular data backups should be performed, and a disaster recovery plan should be in place to restore services in case of a breach or system failure.
• [ ] A system for secure deletion of sensitive data should be in place, ensuring that user data is properly removed upon request or after the legal retention period.

Vulnerability Management:

• [ ] Regular vulnerability scans should be conducted to identify any weaknesses in the system (e.g., outdated software, unpatched systems).
• [ ] A patch management process should be implemented to ensure that all software and systems are up-to-date with the latest security patches.
• [ ] Penetration testing should be performed periodically to simulate cyber-attacks and evaluate the platform's defenses.

Compliance:

• [ ] The system should adhere to all relevant regulatory and industry standards (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS).
• [ ] Compliance audits should be scheduled regularly, ensuring that the platform remains compliant with data privacy and security regulations.
• [ ] A privacy policy and terms of service agreement should be displayed prominently, outlining how user data is collected, used, and protected.
