The Security Finding

Key Vault 'kv-titan-1211' has purge protection DISABLED. Destroyed secrets unrecoverable. CIS_AZURE_8.2 hardening gap.

ITIL Change Management Fields

Justification

Severity assessment: HIGH — material compliance gap or high-probability exploit vector. team approval required.
Regulatory driver: CIS obligation.
Risk if deferred: Per industry telemetry, mean time to exploit a publicly-reachable misconfiguration of this class is measured in hours. Delaying this change extends exposure window and increases breach cost per IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report (avg $4.45M per incident).

Detected by: TITAN AI agent unknown (scan titan-3cloud-20260421T223919Z).
Finding: Key Vault 'kv-titan-1211' has purge protection DISABLED. Destroyed secrets unrecoverable. CIS_AZURE_8.2 hardening gap.

Implementation Plan

1. PRE-CHANGE VERIFICATION (5 min)
   - Confirm TITAN pre-scan snapshot captured; snapshot ID in work notes.
   - Confirm no blocking dependencies (check 'Affected CIs' below).
   - Announce change start in #ops-change Slack channel.

2. APPLY FIX (primary command, auto-generated by TITAN):
   az keyvault update --name kv-titan-1211 --resource-group rg-titan-live-20260421t223919z --enable-purge-protection true

3. POST-CHANGE VERIFICATION (5 min)
   - Re-run TITAN targeted scan on the affected resource.
   - Confirm finding cleared (scan returns 0 matches for this finding_id).
   - Smoke-test dependent applications (see Test plan).

4. CLOSE
   - Update ticket state to Review -> Closed.
   - Attach scan-diff evidence (pre vs post).
   - If verification fails at step 3, execute Backout plan immediately.

Risk & Impact Analysis

Change risk level: MEDIUM (standard change with defined rollback)

Blast radius: The change is scoped to a single cloud resource (Key Vault 'kv-titan-1211' has purge protection DISABLED. Destroyed secrets unrec...). Downstream dependencies (if any) are listed under 'Affected CIs'.

Pre-change snapshot + automated rollback keeps risk bounded. Apply in next window.

Worst-case failure mode: Change is rejected by the cloud API (network partition or permission drift). Impact: no state change on target resource; Backout plan is a no-op. Time to detect: immediate (non-zero exit code from fix command).

Residual risk after successful fix: zero — the finding no longer exists. TITAN verifies this via post-change scan (see Implementation plan step 3).

Backout / Rollback Plan

If post-change verification fails or the fix causes a service disruption:

1. IMMEDIATE: Revert the resource to its pre-change state using the TITAN pre-scan snapshot (snapshot ID recorded in work notes at scan time).
2. Azure:  az <resource-type> update ... (inverse of the apply command) OR az deployment group create --template-uri <pre-change ARM URI>
3. AWS:    aws <service> ... (restore from snapshot or inverse IAM policy)
4. GCP:    gcloud <service> ... update --rollback
5. Confirm rollback succeeded by re-running TITAN scan — the original finding should reappear (confirming the state was fully reverted).
6. Document the failure mode in 'Close notes' for the post-incident review.
7. Re-open this change with 'Rejected' disposition and spawn a parent Problem ticket for root-cause analysis.

Test Plan

Acceptance criteria (must all PASS to close this change):

[ ] TITAN targeted re-scan of Key Vault 'kv-titan-1211' has purge protection DISABLED. Des... returns ZERO matches for this finding_id.
[ ] Resource remains in provisioning_state=Succeeded (Azure) / available (AWS) / RUNNING (GCP) immediately after change.
[ ] Dependent applications pass smoke tests (HTTP 200 on health endpoints, auth still works for service accounts, DB connection-strings unchanged).
[ ] No new alerts raised in Azure Monitor / CloudWatch / Cloud Monitoring in the 30 minutes following the change.
[ ] Audit chain entry written: agent.change.applied event with pre/post hashes.

Any FAIL triggers the Backout plan above. Evidence attached to 'Closure Information' tab.
