Choose your path
Start with the role that best matches your part in the assurance workflow, then move into decision guidance, evidence requests, and implementation options.
I buy or assess suppliers
Review supplier assurance, evidence requests, maturity, and worked examples.
I own product security
Plan assurance across acceptance, release, update, vulnerability response, and lifecycle monitoring.
I am a supplier or manufacturer
Prepare evidence-backed answers for customers, auditors, buyers, and assessors.
I prepare for audit or customer assurance
Build traceable evidence packages, mappings, exceptions, and retention records.
I implement technical mechanisms
Start from evidence needs, then compare mechanisms, trust anchors, workflows, and repositories.
I map standards to controls
Translate standards, regulations, policy expectations, and customer requirements into controls and evidence.
How the handbook works
Use the handbook to move from a standard, threat, or assurance need to controls, evidence expectations, verification paths, and implementation choices.
Featured resources
Use these practical tools when you are ready to turn a path into reviewable evidence.
Evidence Checklist
Review whether evidence is scoped, verifiable, retained, and tied to the decision.
Worked Examples
See realistic examples of weak, better, and stronger evidence packages.
Standards to Evidence and Technology Mapping Workflow
Map requirements, controls, evidence, technologies, and confidence.
Neutral, standards-aware guidance
The handbook uses standards where they help explain requirements, controls, evidence, assurance models, or implementation mechanisms. Standards are mapped into the guidance, but they are not the main organizing principle.
