OUT-07Third-party integration review

Third-party integrations are reviewed periodically for continued necessity, security posture, and contractual terms.

Third-party integrations identified in OUT-06 are reviewed at a documented cadence for continued necessity, security posture, and contractual terms. Integrations that are no longer needed are decommissioned. Integrations with degraded security posture trigger remediation or replacement. This ongoing review prevents integration sprawl and stale supply-chain risk.

Table OUT-07.1 · Maturity criteria · v.1.3

L1 to L5 · the lowest level in scope caps the agent
L1Ad hoc

Controls exist informally; documentation is incomplete; no consistent review.

L2Documented

Controls are written down; ownership is assigned; review cadence is defined.

L3Operated

Controls are followed in practice; evidence is collected; deviations are tracked.

Reviews are conducted at the documented cadence; review records are retained; at least one integration has been decommissioned or remediated as a result of review; no integration is past its review date.

L4Measured

Control effectiveness is measured against documented thresholds; trends are reported.

L5Continuously Improved

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

  1. E.1

    Reviews are conducted at the documented cadence.

  2. E.2

    Review records are retained.

  3. E.3

    At least one integration has been decommissioned or remediated as a result of review.

  4. E.4

    No integration is past its review date.
