# Security and Zero Trust
Security is not a feature bolted on — it's the precondition for being allowed into an LNG plant at all.
## Posture
- **Zero Trust** architecture spanning **Purdue Levels L0–L4**.
- **Outbound-only** edge connectivity (HTTPS 443); **no inbound ports** into the OT network.
- **Read-only** ingestion — no write path to controls, ever.
- **Human-in-the-loop**: no autonomous actuation.
## Controls
- **OAuth2 + JWT** authentication.
- **RBAC**: Operator / Engineer / Manager roles.
- **API keys** for data ingestion.
- **TLS 1.2+**, **WSS** for live streams, encryption at rest, isolated subnets.
## Roadmap
- **mTLS**, automatic key rotation.
- **SOC 2 Type I** and **ISO 27001** readiness → certification.
## Why it matters
The security model and the [[Renacore/Architecture and Infrastructure]] are the same argument viewed from two sides: outbound-only + read-only is simultaneously the fastest install and the easiest security sign-off. It's how a March-2025 startup gets a foot inside a tier-1 operator. Connects to the broader [[Security MoC]] and the OT-safety framing in [[Fire and Gas Detection MOC]].
