SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams harden Couchbase deployments so they are safe for production, compliant with security requirements, and resilient against misconfiguration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TLS and mTLS guidance: Configure secure client-to-cluster, node-to-node, and certificate-based connections.
  • Access control and identity: Design least-privilege RBAC, group-based permissions, LDAP/AD integration, SAML, and PAM authentication.
  • Data and audit protection: Enable audit logging, encryption at rest, KMIP key management, password policy, and account lockout.
  • Use Case: Prepare a new Couchbase cluster for a SOC2 or PCI-DSS review by applying the recommended hardening checklist and verifying the required controls.

Quick Start

Ask for a production Couchbase hardening plan that covers TLS, RBAC, audit logging, encryption at rest, and compliance checks.

Frequently Asked Questions about couchbase-security-hardening

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I harden Couchbase for production security and compliance?

You harden Couchbase for production by validating TLS configurations, designing least-privilege RBAC, enabling audit logging, and applying encryption at rest to meet security compliance requirements.

What is needed to configure TLS and mTLS for Couchbase deployments?

Configuring Couchbase TLS and mTLS requires validating certificate handling and security settings to ensure secure client-to-cluster and node-to-node certificate-based connections.

How do I set up RBAC and LDAP authentication in Couchbase?

Set up Couchbase RBAC and LDAP authentication by designing least-privilege group-based permissions and integrating external authentication mechanisms like LDAP, AD, SAML, or PAM for identity management.

Does Couchbase support encryption at rest and KMIP key management?

Yes, Couchbase supports encryption at rest and KMIP key management, validated alongside audit logging and password policies to ensure production deployments remain secure and compliant.

Can I prepare a Couchbase cluster for a SOC2 or PCI-DSS review?

Yes, you can prepare a Couchbase cluster for SOC2 or PCI-DSS reviews by applying a hardening checklist that verifies required controls like audit logging, TLS, and encryption at rest.

What are the limitations when applying network isolation to Couchbase?

Applying Couchbase network isolation requires validating that security settings avoid disrupting cluster operations, demanding careful least-privilege access design and certificate handling to maintain connectivity.
