  • 1.  Preparing for Security Review for IBM Bob

    Posted 02/25/26 09:20 AM

    I have been invited to participate in the IBM Bob early adopter program. However, before I can use it our cyber security group need to do a security review. I was wondering if anyone can help me get access to security related documentation and architecture diagrams so I can provide them to our cyber security group.

    Hi Mike 

    Was just asking BOB himself about your concerns, please note that we will have an on-premises release if you have concerns on the security part. BOB could document all those points, reach out to me if you need those documents. 

    Task Completed

    I've created a comprehensive IBM Bob Security Review Documentation Request document for your cyber security team. Here's what I've provided:

    Document Created: IBM_BOB_SECURITY_REVIEW_REQUEST.md

    Key Sections Included:

    1. Complete Documentation Checklist covering:

      • Security Architecture & Design (diagrams, network topology, deployment)
      • Data Security & Privacy (encryption, data residency, GDPR compliance)
      • Access Control & Authentication (MFA, SSO, RBAC)
      • Compliance & Certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, audit reports)
      • Security Operations (monitoring, incident response, vulnerability management)
      • Application Security (SDLC, API security, input validation)
      • Third-Party & Supply Chain Security
      • AI/ML Specific Security (model security, prompt injection protection)
      • Integration Security (VS Code extension, enterprise integration)
      • Operational Security
    2. Risk Assessment Framework - High/Medium/Low priority categorization

    3. Approval Criteria - 8 minimum requirements for approval

    4. Security Questionnaire - 20 key questions for IBM

    Next Steps:

    1. Review and customize the document with your specific contact information
    2. Send to your IBM Bob Early Adopter Program contact to request the documentation
    3. Share with your cyber security team so they know what to expect
    4. Use as a checklist when you receive documentation from IBM
