🧱 Sherlocked Security – Container Security Posture Management (CSPM)

Secure Your Containerized Environments from Build to Runtime Across Kubernetes and CI/CD Pipelines

📄 1. Statement of Work (SOW)

Service Name: Container Security Posture Management (CSPM)
Client Type: Cloud-Native Startups, Platform Engineering Teams, Enterprises with DevSecOps
Service Model: Image Security + Orchestration Audit + Runtime Controls
Compliance Coverage: NIST 800-190, CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA
Target Environments:

  • Docker
  • Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift)
  • CI/CD Integration (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)

🧠 2. Our Approach (with Visual)

🔹 Shift-Left Security + Runtime Protection
🔹 Image to Orchestration-Level Coverage
🔹 Policy-As-Code + DevOps Integration

Generate a visual based on the flow below using these color codes:

[Image Scanning] → [Orchestration Configuration Review] → [IAM & Secrets Review] → [Runtime Protection Checks] → [Threat Detection Readiness] → [Remediation Planning] → [Policy Integration & Monitoring]

Color Code:

  • Discovery: #064d52
  • Testing/Attack: #8b0505
  • Closure: #0f5c5a

🧪 3. Methodology (with Visual)

📚 9. Real-World Case Studies

🛑 Exposed Container Daemon in Dev Environment

Issue: Docker daemon socket exposed via misconfigured volume mount
Impact: Remote attacker gained root access on host via container escape

🛠️ Our Fix Journey: Kubernetes CSPM for B2B SaaS

Client: B2B collaboration platform on EKS
Findings:

  • Unrestricted service accounts

  • Privileged pods and missing network policies
    Our Role:

  • Delivered cluster-wide config audit

  • Helped define Kyverno-based security policies
    Outcome:

  • Mitigated lateral movement risks

  • Reduced attack surface across dev/prod clusters

🛡️ 10. SOP – Standard Operating Procedure

  1. Kickoff & Scope Finalization
  2. Dockerfile & Image Scan
  3. Cluster/Namespace Policy Review
  4. Secrets & IAM Check
  5. Runtime Monitoring Audit
  6. Report Draft Submission
  7. Fix Assistance & Policy Definition
  8. Retesting
  9. Certificate Delivery

📋 11. Sample Container Posture Checklist (Preview)

  1. Scan container images for known vulnerabilities pre-deployment.
  2. Enforce image signing and trust policies.
  3. Limit container privileges (no root, no host mounts).
  4. Apply network segmentation with namespaces and CNI policies.
  5. Monitor container behavior at runtime.
  6. Configure secure registries and access controls.
  7. Use orchestrator controls (Kubernetes PodSecurity, RBAC, etc.).
  8. Limit communication between pods and namespaces.
  9. Automate vulnerability remediation in the CI/CD pipeline.
  10. Generate reports for container posture and risks.
