DAT-02Cross-tenant data isolation
Cross-tenant data isolation is verified through automated tests on a documented cadence. Failures are treated as incidents.
For multi-tenant deployments, tenants' data is isolated and verified through automated tests on a documented cadence. A tenant cannot retrieve from or be influenced by another tenant's content. Isolation failures are treated as incidents under MON-07 and trigger immediate investigation. This is the data-layer complement to IAM-08's credential isolation.
(Critical)A Critical failure precludes HI-AAF Certification regardless of the maturity level achieved on any other control.
Table DAT-02.1 · Maturity criteria · v.1.3
L1 to L5 · the lowest level in scope caps the agentControls exist informally; documentation is incomplete; no consistent review.
Controls are written down; ownership is assigned; review cadence is defined.
Controls are followed in practice; evidence is collected; deviations are tracked.
Automated isolation tests run on a documented cadence (daily probes recommended); test results are retained; no isolation failure has occurred in the review period or all failures have been resolved and root-caused.
Control effectiveness is measured against documented thresholds; trends are reported.
Controls evolve based on incident learning; maturity gains are evidenced over time.
The v1.3 edition publishes a control-specific criterion at L3 (Operated). The other levels apply the general ladder to this control; see the maturity ladder.
Evidence an assessor asks for
- E.1
Automated isolation tests run on a documented cadence (daily probes recommended).
- E.2
Test results are retained.
- E.3
No isolation failure has occurred in the review period or all failures have been resolved and root-caused.
