Operating model / From catalog to field

Security that survives contact with operations.

North connects exact image selection, control intent, workload testing, marketplace procurement, and product support so teams can move from subscription to accountable operation.

01

PROFILE

Choose the control posture.

Hardened builds apply the product’s stated security profile. Supported builds provide a maintained operating system without representing a hardened profile.

RESOLVE

Land on the exact build.

Operating system, version, architecture, product line, and support tier remain visible so evaluators can trace a decision directly to one AWS listing.

EXERCISE

Put the image under workload pressure.

Security settings may affect services, protocols, permissions, authentication, or network behavior. Test the image with the applications and operating procedures that will depend on it.

  • Application compatibility
  • Administrative access
  • Security tooling
  • Observability
  • Recovery workflows
04

CARRY

Keep ownership attached.

North supports the published image according to its listing. Platform and governance teams retain the surrounding architecture, workload, evidence, procedures, and risk decisions.

Assurance coverage

Requirements differ. Operational accountability does not.

North supports internal security profiles and recognized standards within the published image. Applicability depends on the selected build, the surrounding workload, and the evidence your organization must produce.

Framework support does not independently confer certification, compliance, accreditation, or authorization.

Resolve the image before you inherit the workload.

Compare hardened and supported Linux and Windows builds across both x86_64 and ARM64.
