Reference

The mechanics, in detail

How the rules, the record, the isolation and the API actually work. Written for somebody checking this against a questionnaire, or building against it, rather than deciding whether to buy it.

Quickstart

Four ways in, ordered by how much they cost you. The first needs no account and takes ninety seconds.

Getting started

Arriving with no context, and the vocabulary the rest of this assumes.

Rules

What a rule can express, what a result establishes, and who may change one.

Governance

What is written down when copy goes out, and when somebody disagrees with a finding.

API

Checking copy from wherever it is written, and what a key can and cannot reach.

Security

The material a supplier assessment asks for, in the form it asks for it.

The three facts that decide whether this passes a security review at all are on trust and security. The agreements are in legal. The arguments behind these mechanisms — why an approval expires, why a rule only travels one way — are in insights.
