Set up disaster recovery procedures + +--- + +## Conclusion + +**Overall Status: ✅ PRODUCTION READY** + +The ops-jrz1 VPS has successfully passed comprehensive security and integration testing. All critical security controls are functioning correctly, services are operational (except known mautrix-slack issue), and the system demonstrates a strong security posture suitable for production use. + +**Key Strengths:** +- Excellent network isolation (Matrix/PostgreSQL on localhost only) +- Proper secrets management with sops-nix +- Strong SSH hardening (key-only auth) +- Valid TLS certificates with HSTS +- Minimal attack surface (only SSH/HTTP/HTTPS exposed) + +**Deployment Validation:** ✅ APPROVED for production use + +**Test Performed By:** Automated security testing suite +**Report Generated:** 2025-10-22 +**Next Review:** After addressing mautrix-slack issue
