# Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) — Master Index
This skill acts as a router for all security regulations and standards. Each sub-skill contains detailed instructions, Node.js/TypeScript code templates, and compliance checklists. All sub-skills must be applied as security standards regardless of the geographic location of users.

## Cross-Cutting Security Principles
These principles apply to **ALL** regulations and must always be followed:
### 1. Defense in Depth
```typescript
// Multiple layers of validation — never trust a single one
// Layer 1: Edge validation (API Gateway / middleware)
// Layer 2: Controller validation (schema validation)
// Layer 3: Service validation (business rules)
// Layer 4: Database constraints
```
### 2. Principle of Least Privilege
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Role with full access
const adminRole = { permissions: ['*'] };
// ✅ GOOD: Granular permissions per resource and action
const analystRole = {
permissions: [
'reports:read',
'dashboards:read',
'exports:create',
],
};
```
### 3. Secure by Default
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Insecure default configuration
const serverConfig = {
cors: { origin: '*' },
rateLimit: { enabled: false },
};
// ✅ GOOD: Secure by default, relax explicitly when necessary
const serverConfig = {
cors: {
origin: process.env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS?.split(',') ?? [],
credentials: true,
},
rateLimit: {
enabled: true,
max: 100,
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
},
helmet: { enabled: true },
};
```
### 4. Fail Secure
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: If verification fails, allow access
function checkAccess(user: User, resource: Resource): boolean {
try {
return authService.verify(user, resource);
} catch {
return true; // DANGEROUS!
}
}
// ✅ GOOD: If verification fails, deny access
function checkAccess(user: User, resource: Resource): boolean {
try {
return authService.verify(user, resource);
} catch (error) {
logger.error({ error, userId: user.id, resource: resource.id }, 'Access verification error');
return false; // Deny by default
}
}
```
### 5. Structured Logging for Auditing
```typescript
import pino from 'pino';
const logger = pino({
level: process.env.LOG_LEVEL ?? 'info',
redact: {
paths: ['req.headers.authorization', 'body.password', 'body.creditCard', '*.ssn'],
censor: '[REDACTED]',
},
formatters: {
level: (label) => ({ level: label }),
},
timestamp: pino.stdTimeFunctions.isoTime,
});
// Usage in audit events
logger.info({
event: 'data_access',
actor: { id: user.id, role: user.role },
resource: { type: 'patient_record', id: recordId },
action: 'read',
ip: req.ip,
userAgent: req.headers['user-agent'],
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
}, 'Patient record access');
```

## Agent workflow
1. Identify what type of data the software handles using the quick selection guide.
2. Activate ALL relevant sub-skills based on triggers — if multiple regulations apply, invoke them all.
3. Implement following the code templates and checklists from each sub-skill.
4. Apply cross-cutting security principles (defense in depth, least privilege, secure by default, fail secure, structured logging) in every implementation.
5. Validate with each sub-skill's compliance checklists before deploying.
