Policy Packs & Rule Editor
Ship opinionated defaults. Customize safely. Enforce with proof.
Why Policy Packs
Security teams need fast, defensible guardrails—not blank slates. ClarioSec’s Policy Packs deliver a curated set of 5–7 essential rules per framework that provide high impact without noise (e.g., over-privileged OAuth, dormant bot, key reuse, repo exfil, IAM privilege escalation, shadow webhook, out-of-policy AI agent). Packs are versioned and validated to keep quality high and conflicts low. You turn them on in minutes, then tailor with the Rule Editor, using “observe → alert → block” staging to roll out controls safely.
What’s Inside Each Pack
Mapped Controls
Every rule explicitly references relevant controls across SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, EU AI Act, and ISO/IEC 42001. Evidence templates attach the correct context and fields when enforcement triggers.
Clear Rule IDs & Severity
Readable IDs, names, descriptions, and severities. No ambiguous labels. Rules pass a linter before publishing to ensure clarity and consistency.
Drift & Behavior Hooks
Rules can incorporate drift signals, dormant/reactivation patterns, and sequence anomalies from the scoring engine to prioritize real risk over static misconfigurations.
Precedence & Outcomes
Enforcement precedence is deterministic (Block > Alert > Log). Conflict handling is explicit, and the engine records all matched rules for explainability.
Rule Editor: Safe Customization
Edit rules without fear. The Rule Editor is tenant-scoped and versioned with built-in validation. You can:
- Adjust thresholds, severities, and conditions (observe → alert → block)
- Create governed exceptions with owner, reason, and expiry
- Attach or modify evidence templates for audits
- Stage changes safely and roll back anytime
Under the hood, default packs live in the public schema; tenant-specific overrides live in your tenant schema. This keeps baselines clean and enables precise, auditable customization.
From Rule to Runtime
Policy Packs feed directly into Runtime Governance. When a rule matches, the engine applies the configured outcome (Block → Alert → Log), optionally requests JIT approval, and emits a signed, plain-English explanation that ties the decision back to the rule and control IDs. You can report coverage by framework and show progress over time—policy isn’t just documented, it is proven at the moment of action.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Policy Packs?
Curated, versioned sets of runtime rules mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, the EU AI Act, and ISO/IEC 42001. Packs ship with 5–7 essential, high-impact defaults that showcase value out-of-the-box, plus an editor to tailor thresholds, exceptions, and evidence mapping to your environment.
How are rules customized and governed?
Use the Rule Editor to adjust severities, add conditions, enable observe/alert/block modes, and define exception scopes with expiry and owner. All edits are tenant-scoped, versioned, validated, and explainable. You can stage changes in “observe” before enforcing, and roll back safely.
How do packs interact with multi-tenancy?
ClarioSec stores default packs in the public schema while each tenant’s overrides live in their own schema. This keeps baselines clean and enables per-tenant customization without leaking policies or data across customers.
Do rules support behavioral signals and drift?
Yes. Rules can reference agent-aware signals (permissions, activity patterns, reactivation) and drift/anomaly indicators from the scoring engine, so enforcement decisions consider context—not just static configuration.
How are conflicts or precedence handled?
Enforcement precedence is explicit: Block > Alert > Log. When multiple rules match, the engine applies the highest-impact outcome, records every contributing rule, and generates an explainable narrative with control references.
