Description

Aligns CIA documentation with two ISMS-PUBLIC policy documents:

Gap analysis identified missing template sections in CRA-ASSESSMENT.md and incomplete policy evidence in ISMS_COMPLIANCE_MAPPING.md.

CRA-ASSESSMENT.md (v1.1 → v1.2)

  • Classification badges: Added Market, C/I/A, RTO/RPO badges per template Section 1
  • AI Agent-Driven CRA Compliance: New section with Mermaid workflow diagram, agent responsibilities matrix, automated evidence generation table (template §7.1)
  • EU AI Act Integration: New section — AI transparency requirements, agent-assisted compliance framework diagram, compliance evidence table
  • Process traceability: Header and Document Control footer now explicitly reference CRA_Conformity_Assessment_Process.md and Open_Source_Policy.md
  • Dates: 2025-08-23 → 2026-03-19, next review 2026-06-19
  • Framework badges: Added AWS Well-Architected
  • MCP config path fix: Corrected evidence reference from .github/copilot-mcp.json to .github/copilot-mcp-config.json
  • AI attribution language: Softened EU AI Act transparency claims to reference Co-authored-by trailers and "where applicable" qualifiers, reflecting actual enforcement mechanisms

ISMS_COMPLIANCE_MAPPING.md

  • Open Source Policy entry: Expanded evidence to cover OpenSSF Scorecard (target ≥7.0, monitored), CII Best Practices, SLSA Level 3, CLA (badge-tracked via CLA assistant), Dependabot supply chain (5 evidence locations)
  • CRA Conformity Assessment entry: Expanded to reference all 9 template sections, AI Agent-Driven compliance, EU AI Act integration
  • Next review date: Bumped expired date from 2026-02-10 → 2026-06-19

FUTURE_SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md

  • Next review date: Bumped expired date from 2026-03-18 → 2026-09-18

Prior commits in this PR (from previous session)

  • Created BCPPlan.md (Business Continuity Plan)
  • Fixed Availability badge logo=server parameter across 12 docs
  • Added Document Control sections to 7 FUTURE_* docs
  • Updated cross-reference tables across 12 architecture documents

Additional Notes

22 files changed across multiple sessions. Key structural additions to CRA-ASSESSMENT.md align it 1:1 with the ISMS template sections (1–9 + AI Agent + EU AI Act). All architecture docs now have consistent Document Control, classification badges, and cross-references. Review feedback addressed across two rounds: corrected MCP config file path, reworded OpenSSF Scorecard and CLA controls as monitored/tracked rather than enforced, bumped expired next-review dates in ISMS_COMPLIANCE_MAPPING.md and FUTURE_SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE.md, and softened AI attribution claims in EU AI Act transparency section to reflect actual Co-authored-by trailer mechanism with "where applicable" qualifiers.

Security Considerations

  • No sensitive data exposed
  • Security best practices followed
  • Compliance requirements met

Release Notes

Updated CRA-ASSESSMENT.md to v1.2 following ISMS CRA Conformity Assessment Process template. Added AI Agent-Driven compliance and EU AI Act integration sections. Created BCPPlan.md. Standardized classification badges and Document Control across all architecture documentation. Fixed MCP config path, expired review dates, and softened AI attribution claims to reflect actual enforcement per PR review feedback.

Addressed in 57416d5. Softened the AI attribution claims in CRA-ASSESSMENT.md:

  • Transparency table now references Co-authored-by trailers in PR descriptions as the concrete mechanism, qualified with "where applicable"
  • Attribution bullet rephrased from "All AI-generated content includes agent attribution" to "AI-generated content attributed via Co-authored-by trailers and PR descriptions where applicable"
