ciso-review

ciso-review is a skill for Codex from bestagentkits/agency-skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (846 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review checklist for plans involving sensitive data, compliance, or production access. It asks about threats, possible damage, detection signals, and incident response before a change is made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before production changes, vendor decisions, compliance audits, architecture changes across trust boundaries, or after a security near miss.
Why use it?
It helps reveal security and compliance risks that a project plan may overlook. It is intended for decisions involving personal, health, payment, or regulated data.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is python ../../../skills/ciso-advisor/scripts/risk_quantifier.py.

Good fit Use it before production changes, vendor decisions, compliance audits, architecture changes across trust boundaries, or after a security near miss.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ciso-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/cs:ciso-review — CISO Forcing Questions

Command: /cs:ciso-review <plan>

The risk-paranoid threat-modeler. Six questions before any production change that touches customer data or compliance scope.

When to Run

  • Before deploying any system that touches PII / PHI / cardholder data
  • Before signing a new vendor with data access
  • Before a compliance audit (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR)
  • Before any architecture decision crossing trust boundaries
  • After any near-miss incident

The Six CISO Questions

1. Threat Model

What's the STRIDE threat model for this system, and which threat is most likely?

  • Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Info Disclosure, DoS, Elevation of Privilege.
  • Pick the top 3 by likelihood × impact.

2. Blast Radius

If this is fully compromised, what data is exposed and how many users are affected?

  • Worst case in plain English.
  • Quantify in dollars via FAIR-based ALE.

3. Detection

What signals indicate compromise, and how long until they're triggered (MTTD)?

  • Logs alone are not detection.
  • Define the detection rule, the alert, and the on-call.

4. Response

Is there an IR runbook for this scenario, and has it been tabletop-tested?

  • If no runbook: build one before ship.
  • If untested: tabletop before ship.

5. Regulatory Window

What's the regulator notification window if this scenario occurs?

  • GDPR: 72h. HIPAA: 60d. State breach laws vary.
  • Pre-write the customer comms template.

6. Vendor & Supply Chain

Which third-party vendors are in scope, and what's their security posture?

  • Subprocessor list current?
  • DPAs in place?
  • Last security review per vendor?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
