  • Directly shapes policy families including Operational Resilience, Asset Management, Change Management — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Obligation model: Conditional — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.
