Prototype of federated, verifiable incident response orchestration across multi-cloud and on-prem environments. MVP with delta-based offline replay and governance ledger.
GuardRailOps: Federated, Verifiable Incident Response Orchestration
Overview
- GuardRailOps is an open-source platform for cross-organization incident response (IR) that federates playbooks across public clouds (AWS/Azure/GCP) and on-prem environments.
- It is designed to operate in partitioned networks (offline or partially connected) while preserving data locality and enabling deterministic replay and auditable governance when connectivity returns.
Key Concepts
- Graph-of-Contracts (GoC) registry: maps per-service IR tasks to aggregated signals and actions.
- Minimal DSL for IR primitives: LocalIRTask, SharedTelemetry, PlanDelta, AuditLog, PrivacyBudget.
- Deterministic delta-reconciliation: offline-first propagation of plan deltas with versioning, timestamps, nonces, and cryptographic signatures to support reproducible retroactive analysis.
- Tamper-evident governance ledger: append-only, cryptographically-signed records anchored to an audit trail.
- Adapters marketplace: pluggable connectors to SIEM/EDR, ITSM, IAM/policy engines, and automation stacks.
Current State (MVP)
- Core primitives implemented in Python:
- LocalIRTask, SharedTelemetry, PlanDelta, AuditLogEntry, DeltaSyncEngine, GovernanceLedger, GoCRegistry, AdapterMarketplace
- Lightweight adapter scaffolds (SIEMAdapter, EDRAdapter) with TLS mutual-auth style handshake (simulated).
- Phase-0 MVP wiring for two starter adapters over TLS and a toy cross-organization IR scenario.
Project Structure (highlights)
- src/idea138_guardrailops_federated_verifiable: core primitives and adapters scaffolds
- src/idea138_guardrailops_federated_verifiable/adapters.py: SIEM/EDR adapters (scaffolds)
- src/idea138_guardrailops_federated_verifiable/contract_sketch.py: minimal contract sketch helper
- test.sh: test harness that installs the package, runs tests, and verifies packaging
- pyproject.toml: packaging metadata (name, version, Python requirement, readme hook)
How to Use (Dev Quickstart)
- Build and test:
- bash test.sh
- Explore primitives:
- Inspect LocalIRTask, SharedTelemetry, PlanDelta, AuditLogEntry, DeltaSyncEngine in src/idea138_guardrailops_federated_verifiable/init.py
- Start adapters (toy-only):
- Use SIEMAdapter and EDRAdapter from adapters.py and call their simple APIs (ingest/trigger_action)
Roadmap (MVP to production)
- Phase 0: protocol skeleton + 2 starter adapters (SIEM/EDR) with TLS mutual authentication; delta-sync; toy IR scenario
- Phase 1: GoC registry, identity management, secure telemetry aggregation, governance ledger scaffolding
- Phase 2: end-to-end cross-domain pilot with simulated multi-cloud/on-prem environments; reference SDK
- Phase 3: auditor-friendly governance hardening, performance dashboards
