Miso — Governance & Deployment

Miso is the governance and deployment control layer of AI Fabrix. It ensures that every part of the platform — from connectors to RAG pipelines — operates under enterprise-grade security, compliance, and lifecycle management. This makes Miso the foundation that elevates Fabrix from “just open source” into a production-ready, auditable, and compliant enterprise platform.

Role of Miso

Miso provides the control plane for Fabrix. It:

• Connects identity and access policies into the AI platform.
• Defines and enforces governance rules through policy packs.
• Manages the lifecycle of environments (Dev → Test → Prod).
• Ensures auditability and compliance across all workflows.

Without Miso, enterprises would face ungoverned AI experiments with inconsistent controls. With Miso, Fabrix deployments become predictable, standardized, and safe to scale.

Identity & Access Integration

Miso integrates deeply with Microsoft Entra ID:

• SSO & RBAC: All access follows existing Entra ID roles and inheritance.
• SCIM Provisioning: Automated user and group provisioning.
• Cross-Workspace Roles: Supports multiple projects or departments with federated permissions.

This guarantees that AI assistants, pipelines, and plugins inherit the same access policies as core IT systems.

Policy Packs & Governance

Miso provides pre-defined and customizable policy packs, covering:

• Data Egress Control: Prevents unauthorized external connections.
• Quota Management: Defines usage limits by user, group, or workspace.
• Audit Hooks: Standardized logs for evidence collection and compliance reporting.
• Cost Controls: Prevents unexpected cloud spend by enforcing resource thresholds.

Policies are centrally defined, versioned, and applied consistently across connectors, pipelines, and plugins.

Lifecycle & Environment Management

Miso enforces policy-as-code for managing environments:

• Dev → Test → Prod: Clear promotion paths, ensuring governance rules are applied at each stage.
• Blue/Green Deployments: Safe upgrades with rollback options.
• Configuration Drift Protection: Ensures all environments stay aligned with approved policies.

This allows enterprises to innovate quickly while maintaining predictable operations.

Security & Compliance Alignment

Miso aligns Fabrix with enterprise and regulatory requirements:

• ISO-27001 Patterns: Built-in security controls and processes.
• Key Vault–Only Secrets: No unmanaged secrets in code or containers.
• Audit Trails: Complete traceability of actions and policy changes.
• SBOM & Image Signing: Ensures software provenance and supply chain integrity.

By design, Miso helps organizations prove compliance for GDPR, HIPAA, and other frameworks.

Benefits for the Enterprise

With Miso in place, enterprises gain:

• Predictable Deployments: Consistency across all environments.
• Controlled Growth: Safe scaling without uncontrolled sprawl.
• Audit-Ready Operations: Every action logged and traceable.
• Integrated Security: Identity, policy, and infrastructure governance unified.

Miso is what makes Fabrix not just deployable, but enterprise-deployable.
