Access
User roles, system credentials and organization boundaries.
Bring your security, architecture and procurement requirements into the product conversation from the start.
SAME DATA. FURTHER GOOD.Security requirements follow the data and the workflow. Identify what information will be processed, how it moves, who needs access and the responsibilities of the teams involved.

User roles, system credentials and organization boundaries.
Hosting, storage, transfer, retention and export requirements.
Monitoring, incident response and change management responsibilities.
A file exchange, a parsed document and a serialized product record expose different operational questions. Identify the information handled by each product, the systems it connects and the users responsible for it. Then review access, storage, retention and incident procedures against that concrete scope.
Identify the business information in the workflow.
Define users, service accounts and permissions.
Identify endpoints and partner responsibilities.
Review the documented deployment controls.
ILLUSTRATIVE WORKFLOW · THE IMPLEMENTATION FOLLOWS YOUR OPERATING REQUIREMENTS
A vendor questionnaire, architecture review and contractual review may each need different information. Include the required documents and decision owners in the evaluation plan. Confirm which controls and commitments apply to the proposed scope.
References to technical standards explain a workflow or implementation. A certification or independent attestation requires its own evidence and scope. Review those separately during procurement.

Your systems. Your partners. The task you need to complete.
