Asset Classification
| Criteria | Level |
|---|---|
| Confidentiality | 🟨 Medium |
| Integrity | 🟥 High |
| Availability | 🟨 Medium |
Criticality score: 🟥 High
Rationale:
- Integrity is critical because inaccurate or tampered documentation may lead to misconfiguration or operational errors.
- Availability is important for operational reference but not strictly required for infrastructure runtime.
Responsibilities
| Role | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Development Role (Dev) | Creation and maintenance of documentation |
| Operations Role (Ops) | Ensure documentation reflects infrastructure changes |
| Security Role (Sec) | Review security architecture and control documentation |
Security Controls (High-Level)
- Access Control - restricted modification rights
- Version Control - change tracking and documentation history
- Backup & Recovery - protection against data loss
- Integrity Protection - prevention of unauthorized modification
Security Considerations
Main risks associated with this asset include:
- Unauthorized modification of documentation
- Disclosure of sensitive infrastructure information
- Loss or corruption of documentation data
Security measures may include:
- Controlled editing permissions
