Evidence boundary

Reviewed does not mean hands-on approved.

Vendor documentation and outside reviews are starting evidence—not security approval, compliance certification, or a purchase recommendation.

Questions to pressure-test

  • Recovery and emergency access must be designed
  • Adoption depends on onboarding and enforcement

Contract and demo record

Five questions worth getting in writing.

  1. Which features, roles, storage, usage, support, and security controls are included in this exact plan?
  2. What can we export without vendor help, in which formats, and what would be missing?
  3. How are backups tested, and how would we request a restore after an error or incident?
  4. What happens to our data, subprocessor copies, and account access after termination?
  5. Which accessibility standards and test results cover owner, staff, and client workflows?
