MCP pour la gestion de projet entreprise : gouvernance, conformité et audit
Deploying MCP in enterprise environments requires careful attention to governance, compliance, and security. This guide covers policies, approvals, logging, safe write operations, key rotation, and environment separation for enterprise teams.
Enterprise MCP Requirements
Governance
- Access controls
- Approval workflows
- Policy enforcement
- Role-based permissions
- Audit trails
Compliance
- Data residency
- Encryption standards
- Compliance certifications
- Data retention policies
- Privacy controls
Policies and Approvals
Access Control Policies
Recommended Policies
- Principle of Least Privilege: Grant minimum permissions needed
- Role-Based Access: Define roles (read-only, editor, admin)
- Project-Level Permissions: Restrict access to specific projects
- Time-Limited Access: Set expiration dates for temporary access
- Approval Workflows: Require approval for sensitive operations
Approval Workflows
High-Risk Operations Requiring Approval
- Deleting tasks or projects
- Bulk updates to production data
- Changing project ownership
- Modifying time tracking data
- Exporting sensitive data
Approval Process
- AI assistant identifies operation requiring approval
- AI presents operation details and impact
- User reviews and approves or rejects
- Operation executes only after approval
- Approval logged in audit trail
Logging and Auditing
Comprehensive Audit Logs
✅ What to Log
- All Operations: Every create, update, delete operation
- User Actions: Who performed what action
- AI Decisions: What the AI assistant chose to do
- Approvals: Who approved what operations
- Access Attempts: Successful and failed authentication
- Data Exports: When and what data was exported
Log Retention
Recommended Retention Policies
- Operational Logs: 90 days minimum
- Audit Logs: 1-7 years (based on compliance requirements)
- Security Events: 1 year minimum
- Data Access: Per compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.)
Safe Write Operations
Preview Before Execution
⚠️ Always Preview Changes
- Show Before Execute: AI should show planned changes before executing
- Impact Analysis: Explain what will change and why
- Confirmation Required: User must explicitly confirm
- Dry Run Mode: Test operations without making changes
Safe Operation Patterns
Read Operations (Safe)
- List tasks and projects
- View task details
- Search and filter
- Generate reports
- Risk: Low - no data modification
Write Operations (Require Care)
- Create tasks (low risk)
- Update task status (medium risk)
- Bulk updates (high risk - requires approval)
- Delete operations (high risk - requires approval)
- Time tracking modifications (medium risk)
Key Rotation
Key Rotation Best Practices
- Regular Rotation: Rotate API keys every 90 days
- Automatic Rotation: Use provider's automatic rotation if available
- Gradual Rollout: Rotate keys gradually to avoid disruption
- Key Versioning: Support multiple active keys during transition
- Revocation: Immediately revoke compromised keys
- Monitoring: Alert on key usage anomalies
Key Rotation Process
- Generate new API key
- Update MCP client configuration with new key
- Test new key works correctly
- Update all clients gradually
- Monitor for errors during transition
- Revoke old key after all clients updated
- Log rotation in audit trail
Environment Separation
Recommended Environments
Development Environment
- Separate API keys
- Test data only
- No production access
- Relaxed policies for testing
Staging Environment
- Separate API keys
- Production-like data
- Strict policies
- Full audit logging
Production Environment
- Separate API keys
- Live production data
- Strictest policies
- Full compliance logging
- Approval workflows required
Security Resources
Least Privilege Workflows
Implement least privilege access

- Configure access control policies
- Enable audit logging
- Set up key rotation schedule
- Train team on approval workflows
