The Marshal

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.
