Security & Compliance

Compliance Standards

Standard	Status	Implementation
SOC 2 Type II	Compliant	Multi-tenant isolation, audit trails
HIPAA	Compliant	Data encryption, access controls
PCI-DSS	Compliant	Secure API endpoints, token management
GDPR	Compliant	Data isolation, right to deletion
SOX	Compliant	Immutable audit logs, segregation of duties

Note: Changed from "Certified" to "Compliant" per SEC-081 requirements.

Data Security

• Encryption at Rest: AES-256
• Encryption in Transit: TLS 1.2+
• Key Management: Environment-based encryption keys
• Data Isolation: Multi-tenant with organization-level filtering
• Audit Trails: Immutable logs for all operations

Quick Start

1. Authentication (SSO)

Enable single sign-on with your identity provider:

GET /api/auth/sso/providers
# Returns: Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace

POST /api/auth/sso/login/{provider}

Source: routes/sso_routes.py (lines 38-66, 67-112)

2. ServiceNow Integration

Create a ServiceNow connection:

POST /api/servicenow/connections
{
  "name": "Production ServiceNow",
  "instance_url": "https://company.service-now.com",
  "auth_type": "oauth2",
  "username": "service_account",
  "password": "encrypted"
}

Source: routes/servicenow_routes.py (lines 45-109)

3. SIEM Integration

Configure Splunk HTTP Event Collector:

POST /api/siem-integration/configure
{
  "siem_type": "splunk",
  "host": "splunk.company.com",
  "port": 8088,
  "api_token": "your-hec-token"
}

Source: routes/siem_integration.py (lines 81-136)

4. Notifications (Slack/Teams)

Create a notification channel:

POST /api/notifications/channels
{
  "name": "Security Alerts",
  "channel_type": "slack",
  "webhook_url": "https://hooks.slack.com/...",
  "subscribed_events": ["alert.critical", "action.escalated"]
}

Source: routes/notification_routes.py (lines 105-189)

Data Export Formats

Splunk CIM

Export diagnostics to Splunk Common Information Model:

# From models_diagnostics.py (lines 170-190)
DiagnosticAuditLog.to_splunk_cim() → {
  "event_id": "diag_4_20251204_143052_a1b2c3d4",
  "timestamp": "2025-12-04T14:30:52Z",
  "source": "owkai_diagnostics",
  "sourcetype": "owkai:diagnostic:api_health",
  "severity": "info",
  "health_score": 98.5
}

Datadog Metrics

Export metrics to Datadog monitoring:

# From models_diagnostics.py (lines 192-226)
DiagnosticAuditLog.to_datadog_metrics() → [
  {
    "metric": "owkai.diagnostics.health_score",
    "type": "gauge",
    "points": [[timestamp, 98.5]],
    "tags": ["org_id:4", "status:healthy"]
  }
]

API Rate Limits

Integration	Default Limit	Configurable	Source
ServiceNow	100 req/min	Yes	services/servicenow_service.py
Webhooks	100 events/min	Yes	routes/webhook_routes.py
Notifications	60 events/min	Yes	routes/notification_routes.py
SIEM	Unlimited	N/A	routes/siem_integration.py
Analytics	10 req/sec	Fixed	routes/analytics_routes.py

Health Monitoring

All integrations expose health check endpoints:

GET /api/servicenow/metrics         # ServiceNow stats (routes/servicenow_routes.py:692)
GET /api/siem-integration/status    # SIEM connection (routes/siem_integration.py:45)
GET /api/webhooks/metrics            # Webhook delivery (routes/webhook_routes.py:616)
GET /api/notifications/metrics       # Notification rates (routes/notification_routes.py:710)

Compliance Exports

Generate compliance reports for auditors:

POST /api/compliance-export/exports
{
  "framework": "sox",
  "report_type": "audit_log",
  "export_format": "json",
  "start_date": "2025-01-01",
  "end_date": "2025-12-31"
}

Supported frameworks: SOX, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2, NIST, ISO 27001

Source: routes/compliance_export_routes.py (lines 91-157)

Next Steps

1. Authentication: Configure SSO with OIDC or SAML
2. Incident Management: Set up ServiceNow for automatic ticket creation
3. Security Monitoring: Integrate Splunk for real-time event streaming
4. Notifications: Configure Slack/Teams for alert delivery
5. Compliance: Enable compliance exports for audit readiness
