summary

MZCLD-3698 tracks remediation of ISO audit finding #29 (Annex 8.11, Data masking) — a High-priority Major finding citing the lack of a formal Data Masking Policy and absence of evidence of implemented masking controls. The ticket is currently in Backlog with no comments or assignee activity yet. Cloud Engineering is named as a remediation owner alongside GRC and the Data Org, but is scoped to own technical implementation only, not policy authorship. Given the audit severity (High/Major) and estimated 4-8 week effort, this ticket needs to be prioritized out of Backlog, have an owner assigned, and be split/coordinated with GRC (policy) and Data Org (data classification) work streams. The evidence source is an external Google Sheet, not accessible via internal tooling, and no Confluence runbook/design doc is currently linked — one should be created to track the technical implementation plan and evidence collection.

findings

• Ticket originates from a High-priority Major ISO audit finding (finding #29, Annex 8.11 Data masking), which typically carries a remediation deadline and requires evidence acceptable to an external auditor.
• Cloud Engineering's scope is explicitly limited to technical implementation of masking controls; policy authorship belongs to GRC, and data classification/ownership likely belongs to the Data Org. This is a cross-team dependency that should be reflected in ticket linking/subtasks.
• The auditor requires a specific evidence package: an approved Data Masking Policy document, implemented masking procedures, technical configuration screenshots, and operational evidence of controls in action. None of this exists yet per the finding.
• Ticket has no comments, no visible assignee/owner activity, and remains in Backlog status despite being tied to a High-severity audit finding with an estimated 4-8 week remediation window — indicating a triage/prioritization gap.
• The only referenced source document is an external Google Sheet (audit findings tracker), not a Confluence page, so no internal design/runbook doc currently exists for this remediation effort; one should likely be created to track scope, ownership, and evidence collection.

proposed actions

Triage notes: This ticket remediates ISO audit finding #29 (Annex 8.11, High/Major) and should be moved out of Backlog given its audit severity and the 4-8 week estimated remediation window. Recommended next steps: (1) Assign an owner within Cloud Engineering for the technical implementation workstream (masking configuration + evidence collection), separate from policy authorship owned by GRC. (2) Confirm with GRC/Data Org who owns drafting the Data Masking Policy document itself and link that work item here as a dependency/blocker. (3) Identify which cloud data stores/pipelines are in scope for masking controls (likely needs input from Data Org on data classification). (4) Create a Confluence page to track the implementation plan, technical configuration steps, and the evidence package the auditor expects (policy doc, screenshots, operational evidence) — this ticket currently has no linked runbook/design doc. (5) Set a target date working backward from the audit remediation deadline, and flag if 4-8 weeks is at risk given current Backlog status. Please confirm ownership and priority so this can be scheduled into an active sprint.

The finding: no formal data masking policy has been established, and no evidence of implemented data masking controls was provided. Estimated effort in the findings sheet is 4-8 weeks. Goal Get an approved Data Masking Policy in place and demonstrate masking controls actually operating on cloud data, with evidence an auditor will accept. Notes Remediation the auditor expects: approved Data Masking Policy, implemented masking procedures, technical configuration screenshots, and evidence demonstrating the controls in operation. Cross-functional with GRC and the Data Org \u2014 Cloud Engineering owns the technical implementation side, not the policy authorship.
