From unscripted projects to a new category
For more than two decades, I have been the person organizations called when a project had no precedents. When no one knew how to integrate technology, people, identity, operations and security into one coherent system, I was asked to make it work.
My reputation was built on determination: 24x7 when needed, solving what had to be solved no matter how complex. From national digital-signage networks and real-time transport systems, to 24/7 employee ecosystems and spatial policy engines for security forces, every project revealed the same structural flaw:
Organizations were governing themselves without a unified base.
Policies were scattered, security was local and logs were inconsistent.
Everyone re-invented their own version of
policy, security and registry.
At some point the question became inevitable: “Why not build for myself what I had spent decades building for others?” That commitment is what led to StrictSphere as a formal articulation of long-standing governance signals.
What my work has always been about
- SPIDER · CARACOL GROUP Integrating national-scale digital signage with segmented content, real-time monitoring and coordinated teams of 100+ professionals.
- TRANSMEDIA · MASS TRANSIT Extending that model to transport infrastructure, where context, location and timing turned into implicit policy attributes.
- SABMILLER · EMPLOYEE ECOSYSTEM A 24/7 nationwide network of HR kiosks with identity-based access, biometrics and support — identity as the center of interaction.
- DEFENSE · 3D TACTICAL GOVERNANCE Combining Oracle data with 3D Unity environments to design security devices around events — who is where, with which capabilities and under which rules.
- PSR PATTERN Each project, in its own way, needed the same thing: a transversal layer of Policy, Security and Registry.
StrictSphere is the synthesis of that journey — not a product, but an architecture I always wished existed.
where existence is defined
StrictSphere is the result of converging governance, identity and policy signals observed across multiple systems. It is a unified layer where identity, policy, enforcement and audit converge into one coherent model.
Instead of chasing endless blacklists, StrictSphere starts from All-deny-by-default and builds intelligent whitelists driven by attributes, roles and context. Governance becomes a single source of truth, not an emergent property of scattered systems.
My current focus is to observe, document and structure these signals as a coherent governance model.
The StrictSphere Manifesto
This manifesto defines the principles behind policy-defined reality and Total Governance.
It is not a product document. It is a declaration of how digital systems should exist, operate and evolve when identity, policy and legitimacy are treated as first-class citizens.
The public release of the manifesto marks the formal origin of StrictSphere as a category, not just as a platform.
How everything fits together
Fabio Urrego
Digital Experience Architect and origin of the StrictSphere initiative. I focus on designing ecosystems where identity, policy and governance unify into a single, comprehensible layer.
Digital Terra
The architecture and engineering studio behind StrictSphere — a laboratory environment for exploring governance, identity and system coherence.
StrictSphere
A formal systemization of governance, identity and policy signals. — a base layer for modern organizations to regain clarity, traceability and strategic control.
Connect & collaborate
I work with leaders, teams and partners who want to move from fragmented control to coherent decision structures. If you are exploring questions around legitimacy, identity and governance in complex environments, I am open to conversations, collaboration and strategic alignment.
