Judging Changes

A governed change has a decision before it and execution evidence after it. These pages cover the changes that happen another way: someone changes a resource in a cloud console, or a controller acts while the Network Authority (NA) does not answer. The NA records them, judges each one, and says what is to be done about a judged DENY.

All of it is off by default. Out-of-band records need EVIDENCE_OUT_OF_BAND=on (with EVIDENCE_STORE=on). Remediation, reviews and the emergency capability also need EVIDENCE_REMEDIATION=on.

Changes Outside the Controlled Path

Observers, break-glass, judgements and quarantine: how changes made outside governed actions are recorded and judged.

Changes Outside the Controlled Path
Remediation and Reviews

What a judged DENY leads to: remediation guidance, due times, the cancel pair, reviews by a second holder, waivers and notices.

Remediation and Reviews
Emergency Changes and Break-Glass

Urgent changes under an ordinary DENY, or while the NA does not answer: the emergency capability and break-glass.
