Enterprise Security Practices

Introduction

Enterprises hold regulators, auditors and red teams to a higher bar than startups. The practices below are non-negotiable in finance, health, and regulated SaaS.

Understanding the topic

• 🪪 SSO + MFA for every internal app via SAML/OIDC.
• 📚 Audit logs immutable and shipped to a separate account.
• 🔐 KMS-backed encryption at rest; TLS 1.3 in transit.
• 🪟 Data classification — PII, PCI, PHI handled per regulation.
• 🛡 Threat modelling per major change (STRIDE).
• 🧪 Pen tests annually, bug bounty continuously.
• 🚨 Incident response playbooks with named owners.
