Reference framework

The RS-RVP reference framework defines the method; this section explains it without becoming a second definition.

The RS-RVP reference framework is the normative source that defines RestorSignal's methodology: the evidence levels, control statuses, the roll-up rules to a level, and the validity of the evidence package. This section explains its principles and vocabulary in accessible terms — it never constitutes a second, competing definition of the reference framework itself. Whenever a specific point is in doubt, the normative text is authoritative, not this page.

• Reference framework principles — why the reference framework is designed to be audited, and what RestorSignal does not claim to be.
• Control statuses — how an individual control is qualified, and how that rolls up to a test's level.
