System Requirements Document

1. Introduction

CyberGuard — Advanced Cybersecurity Platform (project name: ocean-project) is a full cybersecurity platform (not a marketing landing page) that enables users to understand security risks, inspect configurations, monitor threats, manage alerts, and learn security best practices. The platform is delivered as a real, extensible product inspired by Security Operations Center (SOC) environments and modern security consoles.

Critical scope constraints (defensive / educational only):

The platform must not include any offensive or real hacking functionality.
All security scanning is Defensive / Educational only, operating on demo data or a sandbox environment.
Port Scanning, Exploitation, Credential Attacks, and Malware functionality are explicitly prohibited.
The project must be structured so that it can later be connected to real Backends and APIs without re-architecture.

The platform must not feel like a simple prototype; it must be complete across UI, UX, architecture, security, authentication, dashboards, data management, reporting, threat monitoring, vulnerability management, incident management, and admin management. Before implementation, a clear architecture, components, pages, database models, API structure, and security architecture must be established.

Page 24 of 28

6. Visuals, Colors and Theme

Theme: Dark Cybersecurity theme with a very dark background.
Primary palette: Cyan and electric blue, accented with subtle purple highlights.
Surface treatment: Limited, professional Glassmorphism; modern cards with thin borders and a light glow.
Typography: Modern, clear fonts with strong hierarchy for console-style density.
Iconography: Lucide Icons.
Color-coding logic: Severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low / Informational) and Status (Open / In Progress / Resolved / Accepted Risk; Secure / Warning / At Risk / Offline; New / Investigating / Contained / Resolved / Closed) must be visually distinguishable but restrained within the cyan–blue–purple spectrum.
Contrast: Must remain readable; accessible contrast is required.

7. Signature Design Concept

A SOC-inspired Command Console: the interface reads like a modern security operations center, anchored by live-status artifacts (Security Score, Threat Level, Active Alerts, Protected Devices, Network Health) and by the Internet → Firewall → Gateway → Network → Devices visual chain. The signature impression is calm, decisive situational awareness — thin-bordered glass cards glowing mildly against a very dark canvas, with cyan/electric-blue data visualization and restrained purple accents guiding attention to anomalies rather than decoration.

Page 25 of 28

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

Interaction model: SOC console with Sidebar-driven navigation (Dashboard, Security Overview, Threat Intelligence, Security Scanner, Vulnerabilities, Alerts, Incidents, Network, Devices, Reports, Activity Logs; bottom: Profile, Settings, Logout) and a Top Navigation (Search, Notifications, Security Status, User Profile).
Feedback pattern: Every interaction surfaces Loading Skeleton → Loading state → Success / Error state; Empty States appear when no data exists; Confirmation Dialogs gate consequential actions; Tooltips explain controls.
Data interaction: Responsive Tables with Pagination, Search, Filtering, and Sorting on all list views (Threats, Vulnerabilities, Alerts, Incidents, Devices, Reports, Activity Logs, Notifications).
Drawer/Modal pattern: Row selection opens a Details Drawer or Modal (used for Vulnerability details).
Motion direction: Fade, Slide, Scale, chart transitions, card hover, and page transitions — subtle and purposeful, without exaggeration. Mock Events drive real-time UI updates on the Alerts module.
Button states: Default, Hover, Active, Disabled, Loading across all buttons.
Navigation integrity: Real navigation only; no # placeholder links; every important button leads to a real function, page, or modal.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

Security: Authentication, Authorization, RBAC, Input Validation, Output Encoding, Secure Session Management, CSRF Protection, Rate Limiting, Secure Headers, Content Security Policy, HTTPS-ready architecture, Password Hashing, Audit Logging, Error Handling, Secure API Design, Secrets Management. No API Keys, Passwords, Tokens, or Database Credentials may exist in the Frontend; no Secrets or Tokens may be rendered in the UI.
Defensive-only operation: No offensive functionality — no Port Scanning, Exploitation, Credential Attacks, or Malware functionality. All scanning is Defensive / Educational using demo data or a sandbox.
Extensibility: The product must be architected so a real Backend and real APIs can be attached later; where a backend is unavailable, a Mock API / Mock Database Layer must be used and must be trivially replaceable.
Accessibility: Semantic HTML, Keyboard Navigation, ARIA Labels, Accessible Forms, Readable Contrast, Focus States.
Performance: Lazy Loading, Code Splitting, Image Optimization, Caching, Optimized API Requests, Minimal Bundle Size.
Responsiveness: Desktop full Dashboard with Sidebar; Tablet collapsible Sidebar; Mobile Bottom Navigation or Collapsible Sidebar; tables must be mobile-friendly.
Code quality: Clean, Modular, Reusable, Maintainable, Type-safe, Scalable; zero TypeScript errors; no console errors.
Data: Realistic but non-sensitive demo data, easily configurable.
Navigation integrity: Zero broken links across all pages.

11. Assumptions and Constraints

The platform is defensive and educational only; offensive security tooling is out of scope by design.
All scanning, threat, alert, incident, device, network, and vulnerability content is demo/sandbox data.
If a real Backend is unavailable, a Mock API / Mock Database Layer substitutes it and must remain swappable.
Report export (PDF) and SSO (Google / Microsoft) are provisioned as placeholders/future integrations, with UI affordances present.
RBAC roles Admin, Security Analyst, Manager, and Viewer are fixed by the source.
The build must not be a simple prototype; the deliverables span UI, UX, architecture, security, authentication, dashboard, data management, reports, threat monitoring, vulnerability management, incident management, and admin management.
Pre-implementation deliverables required: clear architecture, components list, pages list, database models, API structure, and security architecture.
Data must be realistic but non-sensitive, and easily changeable.
Passwords must never be stored in the Frontend; secrets never rendered.
All pages must be interconnected with real navigation; no # links; every important button must perform a real action.
Post-build verification must confirm: all pages tested, TypeScript errors fixed, responsive issues resolved, no broken links, no console errors, logical authentication flow, and all components functional.

12. Glossary

SOC (Security Operations Center): The visual and interaction model the platform emulates; the dashboard is styled as a SOC console.
Security Score: A 0–100 rating (e.g., 87 / 100 — Good) with breakdowns across Network Security, Device Security, Password Security, Patch Management, and Access Security, plus improvement recommendations.
Threat Level: Aggregated severity indicator for the current threat environment.
Threat Intelligence: Demo threat dataset with Threat Name, Severity, Category, Status, Detected, and Affected Assets.
Severity Levels: Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informational.
Mock Scanner Engine: The simulated scan engine powering defensive checks such as Quick Security Check, Full Security Assessment, Configuration Review, Web Security Checklist, and Network Configuration Review.
Finding: The output of a scan — Title, Description, Risk, Recommendation, Status.
Vulnerability Statuses: Open, In Progress, Resolved, Accepted Risk.
Alert Actions: View, Acknowledge, Resolve.
Incident Statuses: New, Investigating, Contained, Resolved, Closed.
Incident Timeline Stages: Incident Created, Investigation Started, Containment Applied, Resolution, Closure.
Device Statuses: Secure, Warning, At Risk, Offline.
RBAC: Role-Based Access Control — Admin, Security Analyst, Manager, Viewer.
Mock API / Mock Database Layer: A simulated backend that is designed to be replaced by a real backend/API without re-architecture.
Demo Data: Realistic, non-sensitive placeholder values (Security Score: 87, Active Threats: 6, Open Vulnerabilities: 14, Protected Devices: 128, Critical Alerts: 2) that are easily changeable.
Report Types: Security Assessment, Vulnerability Report, Incident Report, Threat Report, Monthly Security Report.
