Security Policy

Purpose

This repository contains reference implementations of zero-touch ML deployment patterns with policy-as-code governance. It is designed as a portfolio demonstration of MLOps and Platform Engineering best practices.

Scope & Boundaries

What This Repository Is

  • A demonstration of zero-touch ML deployment architecture
  • Educational material for MLOps pipeline design
  • Reference implementation for policy-as-code governance
  • Portfolio content for Platform Engineering practices

What This Repository Is NOT

  • Production-ready ML deployment system
  • A replacement for professional security assessment
  • Comprehensive coverage of all ML security concerns

Security Considerations

No Real Secrets

This repository contains no real secrets, tokens, or credentials.

All examples use:

  • Placeholder values (${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }})
  • Generic domains (example.com)
  • Synthetic data and models

If you fork this repository, do not add real credentials.

No Real Model Data

Examples of ML models and inference data are synthetic and illustrative. No real production models or sensitive data are included.

Policy Examples Are Illustrative

The OPA/Rego governance policies demonstrate patterns, not production-ready rules. Real policies require:

  • Organizational context
  • Risk assessment
  • Legal/compliance review
  • Continuous tuning

Supported Versions

Version Supported
1.1.x ✅
1.0.x ✅
< 1.0 ❌

Reporting Security Concerns

If You Find an Issue

If you discover:

  • Accidentally committed secrets
  • Security misconfigurations in examples
  • Vulnerable dependencies
  • Patterns that could mislead users

Please:

  1. Do not open a public issue
  2. Contact the repository owner directly
  3. Provide details of the concern
  4. Allow reasonable time for response

Response Commitment

Security concerns will be:

  • Acknowledged within 48 hours
  • Investigated promptly
  • Addressed or explained

Security Controls Implemented

Container Security

Control Implementation
Multi-stage builds Minimal production images
Non-root user inference user in container
Read-only filesystem Immutable container runtime
Health checks Liveness and readiness probes

Pipeline Security

Stage Tools
Dependency Scanning pip-audit, Safety
Container Scanning Trivy, Grype
Secret Detection Gitleaks
SAST Bandit, Semgrep
Dockerfile Linting Hadolint, Dockle

Infrastructure Security

  • Kubernetes NetworkPolicy for pod isolation
  • IRSA for AWS service access (minimal permissions)
  • Encrypted storage (S3, EBS)
  • SBOM generation for supply chain transparency

Safe Usage Guidelines

Before Using These Patterns

  1. Understand your context - Patterns need adaptation
  2. Consult security professionals - For production use
  3. Review tool documentation - Examples may be outdated
  4. Test in isolation - Before applying to real systems

Adaptation Required

These patterns demonstrate concepts. Production implementation requires:

  • Organization-specific policies
  • Compliance requirement mapping
  • Tool version updates
  • Integration testing
  • Ongoing maintenance

Vulnerability Disclosure

We follow responsible disclosure practices:

  1. Report vulnerabilities privately
  2. Allow 90 days for remediation
  3. Coordinate public disclosure timing
  4. Credit reporters (if desired)

Disclaimer

This repository is provided "as-is" for educational and portfolio purposes.

  • No warranty of security effectiveness
  • No guarantee of compliance achievement
  • No responsibility for misuse or misapplication

Use these patterns as starting points, not complete solutions.
