Industry evaluation
Software diligence for Defense
A framework or industry name identifies questions to evaluate; it is not certification, legal advice, regulatory approval, or proof of deployment-specific capability.
Establish applicability
Identify the products, facilities, contracts, jurisdictions, customers, regulators, standards, data classes, and responsible professionals in scope. Qualified advisers should confirm the actual obligations.
Map shared responsibility
For every applicable requirement, identify product behavior, customer procedure, external control, evidence, test, exception, and accountable owner. A software feature cannot replace governance, training, assessment, registration, or certification.
Validate the exact environment
Require dated architecture, configuration, provider, subprocessor, migration, security, privacy, AI, accessibility, recovery, and acceptance evidence for the release and deployment being considered.
