  • Directly shapes policy families including Privacy, Consumer Protection — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Obligation model: Mandatory In Scope — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.
