+# Azure Zero Trust Security Engagement — Scope of Work
+
+## Engagement Overview
+- Brownfield Azure environment: 50-100+ applications, 50-100 VMs
+- 3-phase contractor engagement: Discovery → Zero Trust Implementation → Future Architecture
+- 93 checklist items: 84 contractor-delivered technical, 9 internal policy/process
+- Targets: SOC 2 Type 2 readiness, ISO 27001:2022 certification
+- No hard compliance deadline — prioritize correctness over speed
+
+## Current State Gaps
+- Flat network — no segmentation, unrestricted lateral movement
+- No SIEM — no centralized monitoring, no automated threat detection
+- Informal change management — verbal/Teams approvals, no audit trail
+- Standing privileged access — PIM exists but not widely adopted
+- No tiered architecture — users can reach VMs, databases, APIs directly
+
+## Security Model
+
+### Tiered Network Architecture
+- **User tier → Web front-end only.** NSGs and firewall deny user traffic to anything non-web.
+- **Front-end → Application/API tier.** Backend only accepts traffic from front-end subnets on specific ports.
+- **Application → Data tier.** Databases only accept connections from authorized app servers.
+- Enforcement via deny-all rules, not obscurity.
+
+### Uncontrolled Device Model
+- ALL devices treated as untrusted — managed, unmanaged, corporate, personal
+- No device compliance gates for general users
+- Security enforced at identity, network, application, and data layers
+- Exception: PAW (Privileged Access Workstation) required for Azure management plane
+- EDR (Defender for Endpoint) deployed on corporate endpoints for detection — does not change trust model
+
+### No Trusted Client Assumptions
+- Every application treated as publicly available
+- Server-side validation, secure sessions, CSRF protection, API authorization required on ALL apps
+- "It's internal" justification eliminated
+- Significant practice change for development group
+
+### Environment Parity
+- Dev, staging, and production share identical security controls
+- Same tiered architecture, segmentation rules, access controls, pipeline gates
+- Only scale and cost differ (smaller SKUs, fewer replicas)
+- Prevents prod failures from control mismatch
+
+### Non-Web Service Exceptions
+- Print management server — requires specific controlled network path from user subnets
+- License management server — engineering workstations need license checkout/checkin access
+- Architecture must accommodate with targeted rules, not broad access
+
+## What Does Not Change
+- Users access web apps from any device — no new device restrictions
+- MFA stays as-is (fully enforced)
+- Private Endpoints remain in place
+- Key Vault continues as secrets store
+- Existing CI/CD pipeline preserved (improved, not replaced)
+
+## Engagement Phases
+- **Phase 1 — Discovery + Prepare**: 2-4 weeks flow logs, dependency agents, app mapping, env audit
+- **Phase 2 — Zero Trust**: Bulk of engagement, months of phased implementation. Network segmentation and SIEM are longest-lead items.
+- **Phase 3 — Future**: Architecture decisions for growth beyond this engagement
+
+## Critical Risks (6 of 30)
+| Risk ID | Risk | Mitigation |
+|---------|------|------------|
+| R-01 | Network segmentation causes outages (undocumented dependencies) | Phase 1 Discovery non-negotiable. 2+ weeks flow logs. Incremental rollout, documented rollback. |
+| R-05 | Apps that assume trusted clients | DISC-11 assesses every app. Highest-risk first. Tiered network blocks backend regardless. |
+| R-07 | Prod failures from env parity gaps | Same security architecture across all environments. |
+| R-22 | Dev team cannot adapt to public-facing standards fast enough | Contractor provides guidelines and reusable patterns. Training before enforcement. |
+| R-26 | Client service disruption during rollout | Client-critical apps last to segment, longest testing, leadership sign-off. |
+| R-28 | No detection capability during transition | Deploy Azure Monitor + Defender for Cloud as EARLY Phase 2 priority before segmentation. |
+
+## Leadership Requirements
+- Sponsorship for change management formalization (cultural change)
+- Patience during discovery (no visible improvements, produces maps and plans)
+- Tolerance for initial friction (pipeline scanning, DLP, shadow IT blocking)
+- Engagement with contractor review process
+- Budget for tooling (Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, Purview licensing)

 ## Domain Expertise
 
-### SOC 2 Compliance
-- AICPA Trust Services Criteria (2017 framework, 2022 revised Points of Focus): Security (Common Criteria, mandatory), Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, Privacy
-- SOC 2 Type I (control design at a point in time) vs Type II (operating effectiveness over 3-12 months)
-- Control mapping to TSC categories: 60-150 control points typical for Type II audits
-- Audit preparation workflow: gap analysis → control implementation → internal testing → evidence collection → auditor engagement
-- Continuous compliance: monthly patching, quarterly access reviews, annual/semi-annual reporting cycles
-- Vendor risk management and subservice provider inventory (CC9.2)
+### Security Architecture Principles
+- **Tiered network**: User → Web → App/API → Data. Deny-all by default. Each tier only accepts traffic from the tier above.
+- **Uncontrolled devices**: All devices untrusted. No device compliance gates. PAW for admin only.
+- **Environment parity**: Dev = staging = prod for all security controls. Only scale differs.
+- **No trusted clients**: All apps treated as publicly available. Server-side validation required everywhere.
+
+### Current State Gaps
+- Flat network, no SIEM, informal change management, standing privileged access, no tiered architecture
+- See engagement-sow.md for full detail
 
-### Zero Trust Architecture — Azure
-- Microsoft Zero Trust principles: verify explicitly, least privilege access, assume breach
-- Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD): central identity provider, authentication strengths, ID Protection, External ID
-- Conditional Access: MFA enforcement, device compliance, risk-based blocking, phishing-resistant methods (FIDO2, CBA, Windows Hello)
-- Privileged Identity Management (PIM): JIT/JEA elevation
-- Network segmentation: Azure VNet, Private Link, Azure Firewall, NSGs, micro-segmentation
-- Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE), Defender for Cloud, Defender XDR, Sentinel
+### Azure Stack (what exists vs. what's needed)
+- Entra ID + MFA: enforced. Conditional Access + PIM: exists, needs expansion.
+- Private Link: in place. Key Vault: mostly adopted.
+- Needed: Azure Firewall + NSG segmentation, Sentinel SIEM, formal pipeline gates
 
-### Maturity Model Alignment
-- NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture
-- CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model (Identity Pillar): Initial → Advanced → Optimal stages
-- Microsoft Zero Trust Maturity Model (2025 edition): identity, devices, network, data pillars
+### Compliance Targets
+- SOC 2 Type 2 + ISO 27001:2022. No hard deadline.

 ## Knowledge Interaction Rules
-- Check uploaded reference files before answering about standards or controls
-- Cross-reference both domain knowledge files when questions span SOC 2 and Zero Trust
-- Flag when a question falls outside uploaded knowledge scope
+- Check the engagement SOW and reference files before answering about scope, architecture decisions, or risk
+- When a question touches the 6 critical risks (R-01, R-05, R-07, R-22, R-26, R-28), reference the specific risk and its mitigation
+- Flag when a question falls outside engagement scope and clarify whether it's a Phase 3 item
 
 ## Reasoning Approach
-Think step-by-step: Understand → Research (check knowledge files) → Analyze → Recommend → Verify (are claims sourced?). Complete each step fully before the next. Show reasoning when logic matters.
