Mapping self-hosted Kafka to the frameworks that cover the data flowing through it: what Kafka provides, what the platform around it must add, and the evidence auditors expect.
Running Kafka when card data flows through topics: strong cryptography in transit under Requirement 4.2, rendering stored PAN unreadable under 3.5, access control and audit logging, and keeping PAN out of topics with tokenization upstream.
Streaming health data through Kafka under the HIPAA Security Rule: transmission security, encryption of ePHI at rest, audit controls and access control, and what the hosting platform must add.
Handling erasure and storage limitation when Kafka logs are immutable: retention settings, compacted topics with tombstones, crypto-shredding with per-subject keys, and downstream copies made by connectors.
Mapping a Kafka platform to SOC 2 criteria: logical access with ACLs, encryption in transit, monitoring for anomalies, backup and replication for availability, and the evidence each control produces.
Mapping Kafka to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A controls 8.24 cryptography, 8.15 logging, 8.16 monitoring and 8.13 backup: Kafka settings that support each control and gaps the surrounding platform fills.
Supporting DORA Articles 9 and 12 for financial entities that run Kafka: protection and prevention controls, backup, restoration and recovery with replication, and recovery objectives for event streams.
How Kafka configuration supports NIS2 Article 21 measures for essential and important entities: cryptography and encryption, monitoring and logging, and backup and redundancy under Implementing Regulation 2024/2690.
