Protect the mission. Govern responsibly.
Enterprise‑grade data‑privacy, security and compliance.
From a secure RAG chatbot to a fully audited AI platform.
Add policy‑as‑code, automated audit trails and compliance dashboards on top of the self‑hosted stack you built in the Architect track. Use OPA/Gatekeeper for policy enforcement, Vault for secret & key lifecycle, Grafana + Loki + Tempo for observability and Falco/Trivy for runtime security. All services run under mutual‑TLS and are governed by a single compliance framework.
Who Is This For?
Pick your path, lock down every data flow and prove compliance to auditors, regulators and internal risk teams.
Security-First Builders
Extend your no‑code pipelines (Flowise / n8n) with policy‑enforced data handling and immutable audit logs.
Compliance-Savvy Devs
Write FastAPI/Node services that automatically validate against OPA policies and expose compliance metrics to Grafana.
Risk & Ops Engineers
Deploy, rotate and monitor secrets with Vault, enforce runtime security with Falco and get real‑time alerts on policy violations.
Product Leaders & Founders
Demonstrate “privacy‑by‑design” and “governance‑by‑design” to investors and regulators with ready‑to‑export audit reports.
Learning Path – Step‑by‑Step
1. Vision & Governance
- Define governance goals – data‑privacy, auditability, regulatory compliance (GDPR, CCPA, SOC‑2) and incident‑response readiness.
- Success metrics – 0 % unauthorized data access, audit‑log completeness ≥ 99.9 %, policy‑violation alerts ≤ 5 min, secret‑rotation ≤ 30 days.
- Governance diagram – VM cluster → Coolify → Docker containers (Flowise, n8n, FastAPI/Node, Vault, OPA/Gatekeeper, Falco, Trivy, Grafana/Loki/Tempo) → external LLM APIs, all behind mutual‑TLS.
2. Tool Foundations
- Vault – Central secret store, key‑rotation, audit logging
- OPA / Gatekeeper – Policy‑as‑code engine for admission & runtime checks
- Falco – Runtime security & anomaly detection
- Trivy– Image vulnerability scanning
- Grafana + Loki + Tempo – Observability + compliance dashboards
- Flowise – LLM orchestration with guardrails
- n8n – No‑code workflow engine with audit hooks
- FastAPI/Node.js – Custom micro‑services (privacy‑enforcement, data‑masking)
- Coolify – Orchestrator, one‑click roll‑backs, secret injection
3. Project 1: RAG Chatbot
- Deploy full stack (Flowise, Weaviate, n8n, FastAPI, Vault, OPA, Falco, Grafana) via Coolify
- Policy‑enforced prompt flow
- Data‑privacy masking
- Audit‑log pipeline
- Runtime security monitoring
- Compliance metrics
- Incident‑response playbook
4. Project 2: Automation Workflow
- Migrate lead pipeline to compliant storage
- Policy‑checked validation service
- Dead‑letter queue & compliance alert
- Enrichment with audit trail
- SLOs & compliance alerts
- Zero‑trust API gateway
- Exportable compliance report
5. Polish and Deploy
- End‑to‑end compliance smoke tests
- CI/CD pipeline
- Automated secret & policy rotation
- Alerting & Incident response
- Domain & SSL
6. Next Level Preview
The Visionary is the strategic‑thinking tier.
Here you step away from hands‑on tooling and focus on AI strategy, governance frameworks and business impact.
- Define AI roadmaps that align with corporate vision and market trends.
- Build enterprise‑wide AI policies (ethical use, model‑risk management, data‑sovereignty) without writing a line of code.
- Craft stakeholder‑centric narratives and ROI models to secure executive buy‑in.
- Lead cross‑functional AI governance councils and drive organization‑wide AI adoption.
What You Gain
- Full governance – All data flows are governed by policy‑as‑code; no hidden “black‑box” processing.
- Zero‑trust security – Mutual TLS, Vault‑managed secrets, Falco runtime alerts and OPA admission checks.
- Compliance‑ready observability – Grafana dashboards expose audit‑log completeness, policy‑violation metrics and secret‑access latency.
- Scalable, auditable automation – n8n workflows, FastAPI/Node services and Vault‑backed storage all scale under Coolify orchestration.
- Risk‑reduction & SLA‑ready – Automated secret rotation, vulnerability scanning, incident‑response playbooks and audit‑log export for regulators.
- Extensibility – Add new policies, plug‑in additional security tools or swap any no‑code node for a custom micro‑service without re‑architecting the stack.
