Zero Trust Engineering — Security exception and risk-acceptance workflow

/02 About

Governance and assurance engineering reference for security exception and risk-acceptance workflow, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Security exception and risk-acceptance workflow. Domain: Governance and assurance. Family: governance. Scenario trigger: Request time-bound deviation from architecture control. Input assurance: Documented business rationale, risk assessment and affected controls. Evaluation: Evaluate necessity, residual risk and approval independence. Governing policy: Security waiver expiration, ownership and compensating controls policy. Resource-side obligation: Issue versioned exception with scoped expiry and conditions. Protected concern: Enterprise security deviation register. Logical interface: Exception ID control owner risk approver scope expiry and mitigation. Evidence: Exception grant, compensating control and sunset evidence. Failure: Indefinite exception or hidden privileged waiver. Required recovery: Revoke unauthorized deviation and escalate risk governance. Architectural invariant: Exceptions must expire, identify accountable risk owners and remain auditable Adoption: replace reference roles with concrete owner-controlled services. Specify exact provider/consumer identities, schema fields and classifications, signal provenance and freshness, idempotency, authorization lifetime, timeout/retry limits, observation and tamper evidence. A denied or failed operation must not silently become a permitted one. Scope: original vendor-neutral, implementation-agnostic technical reference model. Illustrative logical components and behaviors are neither a deployed system nor evidence of regulatory compliance. Package identities remain stable within the package; cross-package semantic reconciliation requires separate explicit registry support.
