Security Test Plan

Title: Security Test Plan Version: 1.0 Owner: [TENANT_CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED — Security Architecture] Status: Draft Last reviewed: 2026-09-07 Next review: [TENANT_CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED] Reviewers: Security, QA

Purpose and scope

Defines the security testing tiers applied before release, integrated into test-strategy.md and ci-cd-quality-gates.md.

Test tiers

Tier Scope Tooling category Cadence
Static analysis (SAST) Source code [TENANT_CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED — e.g. Semgrep, SonarQube] Every PR
Dependency/SCA scanning Third-party packages [TENANT_CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED — e.g. Dependabot, Snyk, Trivy] Every PR + daily
Secret scanning Repo history and diffs [TENANT_CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED — e.g. gitleaks, TruffleHog] Every PR
Container image scanning Built images [TENANT_CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED — e.g. Trivy, Grype] Every build
DAST Running API in staging [TENANT_CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED — e.g. OWASP ZAP] Per release
Authorization/tenant-isolation tests RBAC/ABAC and RLS enforcement Custom integration test suite Every PR touching auth/data-access code
Prompt-injection / AI red-team Agent skills, RAG See red-team-plan.md Every prompt/model version change + quarterly
Penetration testing Full platform [TENANT_CONFIGURATION_REQUIRED — external vendor] Annually or before major release

OWASP-aligned checks (illustrative, non-exhaustive)

Injection, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure, XXE, broken access control, security misconfiguration, XSS, insecure deserialization, vulnerable components, insufficient logging/monitoring — mapped to specific test cases in security-test-plan.md execution tooling (tracked outside this doc in the test-management system).

Cross-tenant isolation test requirement

Every release must include an automated test that attempts to read/write another tenant’s data using a valid token for a different tenant and asserts a 404/403, not partial data leakage.

Acceptance criteria for release

No open Critical/High findings from SAST/SCA/container scanning; DAST findings triaged; AI red-team suite passing at the configured threshold (ai-evaluation-scorecard.md).
