Release decisions need more than scan-report counts. Show scope, critical-flow results and accepted exceptions together.
Evaluation approach
Link artifacts, device matrices, protection configuration, revisions and known limitations.
Application example
Do not use a passing report for an earlier package as evidence for a newly signed release.
Limits and considerations
An evidence package records defined work; it is not automatically a certification.
Can prior evidence be reused?
Even similar packages may differ in signatures, settings or dependencies. Assess change impact explicitly and keep the tested artifact unambiguous.
Checks and decisions
- Match artifacts
- Record exceptions
- Verify critical flows
