One person owns the control
Launch owner owns setup, review cadence, incident notes, and launch signoff.
Incident response
Sitemap Incident Response Guide
Sitemap Incident Response Guide for protecting ZartsAlgo admin, portal, database, connector, import, report, and traffic operations at larger client volume.
Security contract
What this control protects.
Use this guide before storing real customer data, connecting providers, enabling client portals, or importing high-volume traffic records.
Name the failure mode
The main risk is losing the ability to recover after an import, connector, portal, or deployment mistake.
Save proof before calling it ready
Save the environment status, screenshot, row count, or launch checklist result that proves the control was reviewed.
Keep client-safe summaries separate
Admin notes, raw provider payloads, credentials, and private customer details stay internal unless a portal-safe summary is explicitly approved.
Control checklist
Specific checks for this topic.
- Provider credential rotation scheduled
- Portal user offboarding path written
- Admin export review completed
- Admin password hash configured
- Plain admin password restricted to local use
- Operations data moved outside web root
- Primary database environment reviewed
- Traffic database environment reviewed
- Portal noindex verified
Baseline safeguards
Checks that apply everywhere.
- Use password hashes or server environment variables instead of storing secrets in public files.
- Keep admin and portal routes noindex, nofollow, and noarchive.
- Move live operational data outside the public web root before real customer use.
- Use narrow MySQL users for runtime, readonly reporting, imports, and traffic storage.
- Verify backup, restore, and rollback before importing provider data or real clients.
- Write an incident owner, pause path, and client-safe summary rule before launch.
- Capture screenshots or logs without exposing provider tokens or customer private details.
- Retest desktop and mobile after any dashboard, portal, or generated guide changes.
Operational controls
Turn the guide into repeatable work.
Each item should become an admin task, SOP note, launch checklist item, incident step, or client-safe report note depending on the risk.
