Policy-as-Code

Security teams should be able to govern agent controls with the same rigor as infrastructure and application code.

Priority: P1
Phase: Phase 2
Primary owner: Security Eng / Platform
Status: Blueprint

Objective

Enterprises need policies that can be reviewed, versioned, tested and promoted through environments. Policy-as-code complements the visual builder and makes controls fit modern engineering and security change-management processes.

What to build

Human-readable DSL/YAML or declarative policy representation.
Git-backed version control and pull-request workflow.
Policy unit tests and fixture library.
Environment promotion: dev → test → production.
Simulation against historical events before release.

Implementation decisions

One canonical policy compiler for both UI and code-authored rules.
Validate syntax, references and dangerous precedence changes in CI.
Support signed policy bundles and gateway verification.
Provide reusable policy packages/templates without hiding generated code.

Definition of done

Every production policy change is attributable and versioned.
Automated tests prevent known regressions.
Rollback to prior policy bundle is fast and safe.

Success metrics

Policy deployment frequency
Failed policy tests
Rollback events
Policies managed as code

ENTERPRISE FIT
