Access & Identity Management
Centralized policy documentation for identity verification, privilege escalation, multi-factor authentication, and role-based access control across all Aevum Zenth operations.
Policy Overview INTERNAL
Aevum Zenth enforces a strict identity-first security model. All personnel, contractors, and automated systems must be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated before accessing corporate infrastructure, divisional networks, or proprietary research databases. This document outlines the standardized frameworks governing identity lifecycle management.
Core Principles
- Verify Every Request: No implicit trust. Every access attempt is evaluated in real-time.
- Least Privilege: Permissions are granted on a strict need-to-know basis, reviewed quarterly.
- Continuous Monitoring: Behavioral analytics and anomaly detection run continuously across all endpoints.
- Immutable Audit Trails: All authentication and authorization events are logged to tamper-proof storage.
Access Tiers
Personnel are assigned access levels based on role, clearance, and operational necessity. Escalation requires managerial approval and security vetting.
Authentication Methods
Multi-factor authentication is mandatory for L2 and above. Preferred methods are ranked by security tier compliance.
FIDO2 / WebAuthn
Hardware or OS-backed biometric keys. Recommended for L3-L5 access.
TOTP / Push MFA
Time-based one-time passwords or encrypted push notifications. Standard for L2.
Biometric Verification
Iris, fingerprint, or facial recognition integrated with endpoint security chips.
Hardware Tokens
YubiKey, SoloKey, or proprietary Zenth SecureID dongles for legacy systems.
RBAC Matrix (Sample)
Role-Based Access Control definitions map job functions to system permissions. Overrides require CISO approval.
| Role | Default Tier | Systems | Approval | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engineering Staff | L2 → L3 | DevOps, GitVault, Internal CI/CD | Team Lead | ● Active |
| Finance Analyst | L2 → L3 | ERP, Bloomberg Terminal, Audit Logs | Director of Finance | ● Active |
| Aerospace Researcher | L3 → L4 | SATCOM, Fusion Sim, Propulsion DB | Division VP + Security | ○ Pending Review |
| Executive Board | L4 → L5 | Board Portal, M&A Vault, Master Keys | CISO + Chair | ● Active |
Zero Trust Architecture
Aevum Zenth operates on a Zero Trust model. Network boundaries are virtualized, and trust is never assumed regardless of source.
Implementation Standards
- Micro-segmentation: Workloads are isolated into granular security zones with encrypted east-west traffic.
- Identity as the Perimeter: Authentication is decoupled from network location. Remote and on-site access follows identical policies.
- Dynamic Policy Enforcement: Access decisions adapt in real-time based on device health, user behavior, and threat intelligence.
- Data-Centric Security: Files and databases are encrypted at rest and in transit. Decryption requires explicit identity assertion.
Compliance & Audit
All identity and access operations comply with international security standards and regulatory frameworks.
SOC 2 Type II
Annual third-party audits validating security, availability, and confidentiality controls.
ISO 27001:2022
Information security management system certified across all global divisions.
GDPR / CCPA
