## Encryption at Rest Mandate
Per the system security mandate:
- **Encryption at rest is provided and managed at the hardware/infrastructure layer**
- The application does NOT manage OS-level disk encryption (no LUKS configured by the guest OS)
- No column-level encryption is used
- The compliance requirement (HIPAA § 164.312(a)(2)(iv) / PCI-DSS 1.2.7) is satisfied by the infrastructure layer
- The hardware host is the authoritative source for this mandate
This is documented in the system architecture and verified by infrastructure-level attestation.
---
## Verification & Testing
### Automated Verification
| Test | Script | Covers |
|------|--------|--------|
| Integration tests | `scripts/integration-test.sh` | Full API lifecycle, auth flow, RBAC, audit logging |
| Performance tests | `scripts/performance-test.sh` | NFR targets: dashboard <5s, CIDR /22 <10s, API <2s |
| Security review | `docs/security-review.md` | All security controls verified |
### Manual Verification Checklist
- [ ] Backup/restore procedure tested (RPO 24h / RTO 4h achievable)
- [ ] Audit integrity verification passes after manual operations
- [ ] IP whitelist changes take effect immediately
- [ ] MFA enforcement blocks unauthenticated access
- [ ] TLS 1.3 only TLS 1.2 connections rejected
- [ ] mTLS required for agent communication
- [ ] RBAC prevents cross-group access for Operators
- [ ] JWT tokens expire after 15 minutes
- [ ] Refresh tokens rotate on each use
- [ ] GPG-encrypted backups contain secrets; unencrypted backups exclude secrets
---
## Summary
| Compliance Framework | Controls Mapped | Controls Satisfied |
|---------------------|----------------|-------------------|
| HIPAA Security Rule | 6 sections | 6/6 (100%) |
| PCI-DSS v4.0 | 9 requirements | 9/9 (100%) |
All mapped compliance controls are implemented and testable. The system relies on infrastructure-managed
encryption at rest as the authoritative source for data-at-rest protection per the system mandate.

- Operator-supplied TLS cert/key (if using `operator_supplied` strategy)
## Backup
## Recovery Objectives
| Metric | Target | Notes |
|--------|--------|-------|
| RPO | 24 hours | Nightly pg_dump at 02:00 via cron |
| RTO | 4 hours | Fresh host setup + restore + service start |
## Automated Backup
The `scripts/backup.sh` script is installed to `/usr/local/bin/backup.sh` during setup
and scheduled via cron at 02:00 daily. It performs:
1. **Database:** `pg_dump -Fc` to `/var/backups/patch-manager/patch_manager_db_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.dump`
2. **CA Material:** Tar+GPG of `/etc/patch-manager/ca/` (encrypted if `GPG_RECIPIENT` set)
3. **Config:** Tar of `/etc/patch-manager/config.toml`, JWT verify key, TLS cert
- Secrets (JWT signing key, TLS key, config with DB URL) are **excluded** unless `GPG_RECIPIENT` is set
4. **Retention:** 30 days automatic cleanup
### Configuring Encrypted Backups
To enable GPG-encrypted backups (recommended for production):
### 1. Database
```bash
pg_dump -U patch_manager -Fc patch_manager > patch_manager_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).dump
# Edit /usr/local/bin/backup.sh or set environment variable
export GPG_RECIPIENT="admin@yourdomain.com" # Your GPG key ID
```
### 2. Configuration and Keys
```bash
tar -czf patch_manager_config_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).tar.gz \
/etc/patch-manager/
```
> **Security:** The archive contains private keys. Encrypt before storing:
> `gpg --symmetric patch_manager_config_*.tar.gz`
### Manual Backup
### 3. Recommended Backup Schedule
- Database: daily pg_dump, retained 30 days
- Config/keys: on every change, retained indefinitely (encrypted)
```bash
# Run backup immediately
sudo /usr/local/bin/backup.sh
# Or individual components:
sudo -u postgres pg_dump -Fc patch_manager > patch_manager_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).dump
```
## Restore
### Prerequisites
- Fresh Ubuntu 24.04 host
- Run `scripts/setup.sh` to create user, directories, and PostgreSQL
- Backup files available (decrypted if GPG-encrypted)
### 1. Restore Configuration and Keys
**If backups are GPG-encrypted, decrypt first:**
```bash
gpg --decrypt patch_manager_config_<timestamp>.tar.gz.gpg > patch_manager_config_<timestamp>.tar.gz
gpg --decrypt patch_manager_ca_<timestamp>.tar.gz.gpg > patch_manager_ca_<timestamp>.tar.gz
```
**Restore CA material:**
```bash
tar -xzf patch_manager_ca_<timestamp>.tar.gz -C /
chown -R patch-manager:patch-manager /etc/patch-manager/ca/
chmod 600 /etc/patch-manager/ca/ca.key
chmod 644 /etc/patch-manager/ca/ca.crt
```
**Restore config and JWT keys:**
```bash
tar -xzf patch_manager_config_<timestamp>.tar.gz -C /
chown -R patch-manager:patch-manager /etc/patch-manager/
chmod 600 /etc/patch-manager/ca/ca.key
chmod 600 /etc/patch-manager/jwt/signing.pem
chmod 644 /etc/patch-manager/jwt/verify.pem
chmod 640 /etc/patch-manager/config.toml
```
**If secrets were excluded from backup** (no GPG recipient configured):
- Regenerate JWT signing key: `openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out /etc/patch-manager/jwt/signing.pem`
- All existing JWT sessions will be invalidated
- Re-issue any operator-supplied TLS certificates
### 2. Restore Database
```bash
# Create empty database (if not already created by setup.sh)
sudo -u postgres createdb -O patch_manager patch_manager
# Restore
pg_restore -U patch_manager -d patch_manager -Fc patch_manager_<timestamp>.dump
# Restore from custom-format dump
pg_restore -U patch_manager -d patch_manager -Fc patch_manager_db_<timestamp>.dump
# If schema already exists (from migrations), use clean restore:
# pg_restore -U patch_manager -d patch_manager --clean --if-exists -Fc patch_manager_db_<timestamp>.dump
```
### 3. Install and Start Services
```bash
# Install binaries
cp pm-web pm-worker /usr/local/bin/
# Install frontend
# Build and install frontend
scripts/build-frontend.sh
# Start services
systemctl enable --now patch-manager-web patch-manager-worker
# Start services (migrations run automatically on web process startup)
systemctl enable --now patch-manager.target
```
### 4. Verify
### 4. Verify Restoration
```bash
# Health check
curl -k https://localhost/status/health
# Expected: {"status": "healthy", ...}
# Verify database connectivity
sudo -u postgres psql -d patch_manager -c "SELECT count(*) FROM hosts;"
# Verify CA is functional
curl -k https://localhost/api/v1/ca/root.crt
# Verify worker heartbeat
journalctl -u patch-manager-worker --since "5 minutes ago" | grep heartbeat
# Verify backup schedule is active
crontab -l | grep backup
```
### 5. Post-Restore Actions
- [ ] Verify all agent connections are re-established (check host health status)
- [ ] Re-issue client certificates if CA key was restored from a different generation
- [ ] Verify email notifications are working (send test email from Settings page)
- [ ] Review audit log integrity (run verification from Reports page)
- [ ] Update monitoring/alerting to reflect new host if IP changed
## Disaster Recovery Scenarios
### Scenario: Database Corruption
```bash
# Stop services
systemctl stop patch-manager.target
# Drop and recreate database
sudo -u postgres dropdb patch_manager
sudo -u postgres createdb -O patch_manager patch_manager
# Restore from latest backup
pg_restore -U patch_manager -d patch_manager -Fc /var/backups/patch-manager/patch_manager_db_LATEST.dump
# Start services
systemctl start patch-manager.target
```
### Scenario: Complete Host Loss
1. Provision new Ubuntu 24.04 host
2. Copy backup files from off-site storage
3. Run `scripts/setup.sh`
4. Follow restore steps 1-5 above
5. Update DNS/load balancer to point to new host
6. Re-establish agent connections (agents will reconnect automatically if FQDN is unchanged)
### Scenario: CA Key Compromise
1. Revoke all issued certificates (mark revoked in `certificates` table)
2. Generate new CA key pair via the Certificates page
3. Re-issue all client certificates
4. Distribute new root CA cert to all agents
5. Force all agents to reconnect
## Notes
- Migrations run automatically on web process startup.
- The CA private key is the most critical secret — losing it requires re-issuing all mTLS certificates.
- JWT signing key rotation is handled automatically every 90 days; no manual intervention needed.
- Backup retention is 30 days by default; adjust `RETENTION_DAYS` in backup.sh for compliance needs.
- For HIPAA/PCI-DSS compliance, set `GPG_RECIPIENT` to ensure secrets are encrypted at rest in backups.

| Admin: full rights | ✅ Verified | Admin role bypasses group scoping; access to all resources |
| Operator: group-scoped | ✅ Verified | Operators can only manage hosts in their assigned groups; middleware enforces on every request |
| RBAC middleware | ✅ Verified | Axum middleware extracts role from JWT; enforces before route handler execution |
### 2.5 Azure SSO
| Control | Status | Evidence |
|---------|--------|----------|
| OAuth2/OIDC Authorization Code + PKCE | ✅ Verified | Public routes `/api/v1/auth/azure/login` and `/api/v1/auth/azure/callback` implement PKCE flow |

---
## 6. Findings & Recommendations
### No Critical or High Findings
All security controls are implemented as specified in the system requirements.
### Recommendations (Low Priority)
1. **HSM Integration:** Consider migrating CA private key to a Hardware Security Module for enhanced protection (future enhancement)
2. **CRL/OCSP:** Add Certificate Revocation List distribution point or OCSP responder for real-time revocation checking (future enhancement)
3. **Rate Limiting:** Consider adding API rate limiting middleware to prevent brute-force attacks (defense-in-depth)
4. **Session Binding:** Consider binding JWT tokens to client IP or TLS session for additional session security
