E03 · Evidence

Scope and residual-risk statement

Readers interpret a narrow result as a guarantee for the entire organization or future versions.

Requirement

Publish the assessed version, environment, use, exclusions, failed or untested areas, residual risks and review triggers beside the result.

Expected evidence

  • Signed scope and residual-risk section.
  • Consistency check across report, register and public claims.

Proposed verification

  1. Ask an independent reviewer what is and is not covered.
  2. Confirm critical failures remain visible and cannot be averaged away.

Limit

Clear limits reduce misinterpretation but cannot control third-party marketing statements.
