Review before applying

This recipe is a starting point, not a universal security policy. Open it in Policy Studio, replace example identifiers where necessary, review scope and blast radius, simulate where supported, and use the normal approval flow before enforcement.

When a policy is saved and delivered through Guard Cloud, it uses the existing Guard policy-bundle compiler. If the policy-bundle signing key is configured, that compiler produces an RSA-PSS-SHA256 signed bundle that local Guard verifies before applying.
