Secure Robot Operations Governance for Startup Teams
Governance model for secure robot operations, including access control, audit trails, and policy enforcement.
Principle of least privilege
Access should be scoped by role, workflow, and environment so operators only touch what they are responsible for.
Least privilege lowers blast radius and simplifies incident containment.
Immutable execution logs
Every mission decision and override action should be traceable with timestamp, actor, and reason.
Immutable logs are critical for post-incident analysis and compliance readiness.
Policy versioning and approvals
Routing and escalation policies should be versioned with reviewer history, not edited ad hoc in production.
Versioning creates accountability and makes regressions easier to diagnose.
Security drills for operations teams
Run regular drills for credential rotation, queue isolation, and emergency access revocation.
Practice reduces response time and improves confidence when real security incidents occur.
