Will this script impact my application performance?

Security measures are designed for minimal performance impact. Some operations like encryption may add <5% overhead. Performance-intensive scans are scheduled during off-peak hours. You can adjust scan frequency and scope in configuration to balance security and performance.

How do I verify the script itself is secure and not malicious?

The script is open source - review the code before execution. Check the SHA256 hash: 'sha256sum incident-response-playbook.sh' and compare to published checksums. Run in test environment first. The script requires explicit sudo for privileged operations, never runs with unnecessary permissions.

Can I use this for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance?

This script implements many controls required by SOC 2 and ISO 27001, including access logging, encryption, and security monitoring. However, full compliance requires additional documentation, policies, and controls. The Master Pack includes complete compliance packages with audit-ready documentation for major frameworks.

How often should I run security scans?

Recommended schedule: vulnerability scans weekly, compliance checks daily, security audit monthly, penetration testing quarterly. The script supports configurable schedules. Critical systems should enable real-time monitoring for security events (available in Master Pack with automated threat response).

How It Works: A Look Under the Hood

Security implementation follows defense-in-depth principles:

(1) Security audit scans for vulnerabilities and compliance gaps.

(2) Automated remediation applies security hardening configurations.

(3) Continuous monitoring tracks security events and suspicious activities.

(4) Access controls implement least-privilege principles.

(5) Audit logging maintains compliance trails.

(6) Regular security updates ensure protection against new threats.
