Zero Trust Engineering — Security evidence integrity and retention

/02 About

Visibility and analytics engineering reference for security evidence integrity and retention, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Security evidence integrity and retention. Domain: Visibility and analytics. Family: assurance. Scenario trigger: Write security control or investigation evidence. Input assurance: Signed event origin, canonical timestamp and retention obligations. Evaluation: Verify immutability controls, ingestion completeness and retention. Governing policy: Security evidence integrity and access preservation policy. Resource-side obligation: Store tamper-evident evidence with authorized retention. Protected concern: Enterprise security evidence repository. Logical interface: Evidence ID issuer integrity proof clock retention and lineage. Evidence: Event integrity hash chain source and retention receipt. Failure: Missing events, altered chain or unauthorized evidence deletion. Required recovery: Seal suspect segment and restore independently verified chain. Architectural invariant: Security evidence must be verifiable without relying on untrusted producer claims Adoption: replace reference roles with concrete owner-controlled services. Specify exact provider/consumer identities, schema fields and classifications, signal provenance and freshness, idempotency, authorization lifetime, timeout/retry limits, observation and tamper evidence. A denied or failed operation must not silently become a permitted one. Scope: original vendor-neutral, implementation-agnostic technical reference model. Illustrative logical components and behaviors are neither a deployed system nor evidence of regulatory compliance. Package identities remain stable within the package; cross-package semantic reconciliation requires separate explicit registry support.
