Daily DevOps & .NET - Where Code Meets Culture

Cookie Banners Won't Save You From ISO 27701

Cookie Banners Won’t Save You From ISO 27701

That boolean column you call “consent”? Regulators will laugh at it.

ISO 27701 demands granular, auditable, expiring consent, not cookie theater. Here’s the complete .NET implementation with Entity Framework Core, middleware validation, and Azure Functions that survives an audit.

NuGet Packages: The Suppliers You Forgot to Audit

NuGet Packages: The Suppliers You Forgot to Audit

Every NuGet package is a supplier relationship under ISO 27001. Learn how to implement Central Package Management, automated vulnerability scanning, and package signature verification to transform your .NET dependency management from security liability into auditable compliance control.
Observability in AKS CNI Overlay: When Pod IPs Hide Behind Nodes

Observability in AKS CNI Overlay: When Pod IPs Hide Behind Nodes

CNI Overlay masks pod IPs behind node IPs through SNAT, breaking traditional observability. Network logs show nodes, application logs show pods. Without Container Insights, correlation IDs, and distributed tracing, you’re debugging blind. SNAT port exhaustion mimics network failures, and timestamp-based correlation is fragile. The cost of proper monitoring is trivial compared to debugging outbound connectivity at 3 AM without visibility.
Your Azure SQL Is Public Right Now. ISO 27017 Demands You Fix It

Your Azure SQL Is Public Right Now. ISO 27017 Demands You Fix It

That SQL Server you deployed last week? Publicly accessible. That Storage Account? Same story. Azure defaults are security theater. ISO 27017 calls this a compliance violation, and your next audit will too. Stop trusting “cloud-native” to mean “secure” and start implementing VNets, Private Endpoints, and NSGs before your data becomes someone else’s problem.
Your Incident Response Plan Is a Lie. Here's How to Fix It.

Your Incident Response Plan Is a Lie. Here’s How to Fix It.

That incident response plan in your Confluence? Nobody reads it. The on-call engineer can’t find it. And when your production API is bleeding at 3 AM, you’ll improvise—badly. ISO 27001 A.16 doesn’t care about your documentation theater. It demands procedures that work. GitHub Actions turns incident response from compliance fiction into executable reality.
