READ THE REGISTRY WITH CONFIDENCE
Use these plain-language concepts to interpret certification, audit evidence, and human-impact assessments without relying on vendor claims.
01
Certification
Certification means a defined evidence threshold was met at a specific point in time. It is not a claim of zero risk.
02
Human impact
Impact levels summarize the scale and severity of plausible consequences for people and communities.
03
Audit trail
The audit trail records evidence requests, findings, responses, and status changes so decisions remain traceable.
04
Incident disclosure
Material failures should be recorded with scope, affected users, remediation, and recurrence-prevention steps.
