Checklist

Cloud-Native Governance & Security

A governance checklist for cloud-native applications: identity, data boundaries, secrets, deployment controls, observability, resilience, incident response, and vendor accountability.

Governance must be designed into the platform

Cloud-native security and governance cannot rely on after-the-fact review alone. Identity, access, data boundaries, secrets, logging, deployment controls, and incident response should be part of the operating model.

  • • Define identity, access, and least-privilege patterns before scaling teams.
  • • Classify data and clarify where sensitive information may be stored, processed, or transmitted.
  • • Create deployment, monitoring, backup, resilience, and incident-response expectations.
  • • Review vendor and managed-service responsibilities so ownership is not assumed incorrectly.

Leadership responsibility

Executives do not need to design every control, but they do need to know whether the operating model can protect the business as cloud-native delivery accelerates.
