Policy Lifecycle (DSL and Governance)

Policy Management Document - M&A Confidential

This document covers how ABS Core scales the creation and versioning of governance rules.

---

1. Declarative DSL (OPA/Rego Alignment)

• Current Status: Policies written in TypeScript/Rust compiled to WASM.
• v1.0 Roadmap: Implementation of a simplified Declarative DSL layer, inspired by OPA (Open Policy Agent), allowing compliance teams (non-developers) to write rules without touching code.

2. Staging and Versioning

• Policy Registry: The engine supports version tags (e.g., finance-v2.1).
• Shadow Mode: Allows running new policy versions in parallel (staging) to validate false positives before activating the "Hard Block" in production.
• Atomic Rollback: Instant reversion to the last stable policy through the Control Plane via API.

3. What-if Simulation

We plan for Q4 2026 a simulation interface where the administrator can "replay" historical payloads against new policies to predict the operational impact before deployment.

Verdict: ABS Core is not just a low-level API; it has the skeleton of a full Enterprise Governance Platform.
