Architecture & Security Checklist

When evaluating AI Fabrix, enterprises must ensure the platform aligns with existing IT architecture, security standards, and compliance requirements. This checklist helps CIOs, IT managers, and architects confirm that Fabrix is production-ready in their Azure environment.

1. Azure-Native Deployment

• Runs fully inside your Azure tenant — no SaaS, no shared hosting.
• Deployed on Virtual Networks (VNet) with Private Endpoints and DNS integration.
• Supports Azure Front Door or WAF for global access with protection.
• Uses App Service / Container Apps / AKS as flexible compute targets.

Outcome: Deployment is isolated, secure, and compliant with enterprise cloud architecture standards.

2. Identity & Access Control

• Integrated with Microsoft Entra ID for Single Sign-On (SSO).
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) inheritance across workspaces.
• SCIM provisioning for automated user and group management.
• Multi-tenant or multi-environment setups (Dev → Test → Prod) supported.

Outcome: Access follows the same guardrails as existing enterprise IT.

3. Secret & Key Management

• All secrets stored in Azure Key Vault only — no embedded secrets.
• Support for Managed Identities where possible.
• Key rotation aligned with enterprise security policies.

Outcome: Centralized, compliant key management with no hidden exposures.

4. Governance & Observability

• Miso layer enforces policy packs for quotas, egress, and compliance.
• Audit logging with correlation IDs for every connector and workflow.
• Centralized logs, metrics, and traces for monitoring.
• Cost telemetry available from day one.

Outcome: AI workloads are governed, observable, and auditable at scale.

5. Data Handling & Compliance

• Metadata-aware retrieval ensures permission-aware search across Microsoft 365 and business systems.
• Documents inherit folder or system metadata for compliant context.
• Configurable egress controls to prevent unintended data flow.
• [[PLACEHOLDER: Add industry-specific checks — e.g. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or financial services]].

Outcome: Data access remains compliant, permission-aligned, and fully auditable.

6. Resilience & Scalability

• Supports Dev → Test → Prod lifecycle with promotion as code.
• Blue/green deployment and rollback options.
• Autoscaling for workloads; multi-region support via Azure Front Door.

Outcome: Platform scales with business demand without compromising resilience.

Key Takeaway

This checklist ensures Fabrix is not just technically deployed, but aligned with enterprise IT architecture, governance, and compliance standards.

By validating these areas during evaluation, enterprises reduce risk and accelerate the path to production.
