Introduction

[bla bla]

The Vision and Mission of the [X] Initiative are as follows:

  • Vision: [bla bla].

  • Mission: [bla bla].

In accordance with the Vision and Mission, this specification defines a set of requirements that if met, would significantly increase the probability that [bla bla]; although a program that satisfies all the specification requirements does not guarantee full compliance. The requirements represent a base level (minimum) set of requirements a program must satisfy to be considered [X] Conforming. The specification focuses on the “what” and “why” qualities of a compliance program as opposed to the “how” and “when” considerations. This ensures a practical level of flexibility that enables different organizations to tailor their policies and processes to best fit their objectives.

Section 2 introduces definitions of key terms used throughout the specification. Section 3 presents the specification requirements where each one has a list of one or more Verification Artifacts. They represent the evidence that must exist in order for a given requirement to be considered satisfied. If all the requirements have been met for a given program, it would be considered [X] Conforming in accordance with version 1.0 of the specification.
