Add security and compliance documentation for ISO/IEC 27001
- Introduced a comprehensive suite of security documents to support ISO/IEC 27001 certification, including the ISMS Foundation, Risk Assessment Matrix, Gap Analysis Report, Statement of Applicability, and ISO27001 Roadmap. - Updated the README to include links to the new security documentation, enhancing the project's compliance framework and providing clear guidance on security policies and procedures. This addition strengthens the overall security posture of the Tender Management System and aligns with industry standards for information security management.

## 1. Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This report assesses the current state of the Tender Management (TM) ISMS against **ISO/IEC 27001:2022** mandatory clauses (4–10) and Annex A controls. The assessment is based on documentation review, codebase analysis, and existing operational practices.
|
||||
|
||||
### Overall Maturity
|
||||
|
||||
| Area | Maturity | Summary |
|
||||
|------|----------|---------|
|
||||
| **Clauses 4–6** (Context, Leadership, Planning) | 🟡 Partial | Foundation docs exist; formal leadership approval pending |
|
||||
| **Clause 7** (Support) | 🟡 Partial | Competence and awareness programs not yet formalized |
|
||||
| **Clause 8** (Operation) | 🟡 Partial | Technical controls strong; operational procedures incomplete |
|
||||
| **Clause 9** (Performance evaluation) | 🔴 Minimal | No internal audit program or management review yet |
|
||||
| **Clause 10** (Improvement) | 🔴 Minimal | Corrective action process not formalized |
|
||||
| **Annex A** (93 controls) | 🟡 Partial | ~35% implemented, ~40% partial, ~15% N/A (physical/cloud), ~10% not started |
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Strengths
|
||||
|
||||
- Application-layer security controls (JWT, RBAC, validation, XSS, audit logging)
|
||||
- Clean Architecture with dependency injection and structured logging
|
||||
- Initial ISMS documentation suite (foundation, risk matrix, policies)
|
||||
- Configurable rate limiting and environment-based secret management
|
||||
|
||||
### Critical Gaps (Must Address Before Certification)
|
||||
|
||||
1. No internal audit program or management review records (Clauses 9.2, 9.3)
|
||||
2. No SIEM/centralized monitoring (A.8.16)
|
||||
3. No formal vulnerability management in CI (A.8.8)
|
||||
4. Secrets in repository / no vault (A.8.9, R-013)
|
||||
5. No security awareness training program (A.6.3)
|
||||
6. No vendor security assessments (A.5.19–A.5.22)
|
||||
7. Encryption at rest not confirmed (A.8.24)
|
||||
8. Executive sign-off on ISMS scope and policies pending
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|----------|-----|-------------|-------|--------|
|
||||
| P0 | No incident response testing | Tabletop exercise | 2 | Q2 2026 |
|
||||
| P0 | Secrets in repo | Vault + secret scanning | 2 | Q2 2026 |
|
||||
| P0 | No vulnerability scanning | govulncheck in CI | 2 | Q2 2026 |
|
||||
| P0 | No management review | First review meeting | 1 | Q3 2026 |

|
||||
|
||||
## 12. Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
The TM platform has a **solid technical security foundation** but lacks the **operational and governance evidence** required for ISO 27001 certification. Phase 1 documentation (foundation, risk assessment, policies, SoA, gap analysis) addresses Clauses 4.3, 6.1.2, and 5.2 at a draft level.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Proceed to Phase 2 control implementation while pursuing executive approval of scope and policies. Target first internal audit no later than **Q1 2027** to allow 3+ months of operating evidence before Stage 2 audit.
