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
