===== Discussion =====

Conformance is the satisfaction of specified requirements.

The specified requirements may originate from a specification, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]], policy, profile, standard, or other identified source.

A determination of Conformance requires:

  * Identification of the applicable requirements
  * Identification of the subject being evaluated
  * Application of defined evaluation criteria
  * Collection of sufficient [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]]
  * A determination that the subject satisfies the applicable requirements

Conformance remains distinct from the activity used to determine Conformance. A conformance assessment evaluates whether a subject satisfies the applicable requirements.

===== Note =====

Conformance applies only to identified requirements. A statement that a subject conforms without identifying the applicable requirements or their controlling source does not provide a complete conformance claim.

Conformance may apply to an implementation, system, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:artifact|Artifact]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_environment|Infrastructure Environment]], or another identified subject.

Conformance with a selected Security Baseline means satisfaction of the requirements established by that Security Baseline.

Conformance with a selected Compliance Baseline means satisfaction of the requirements established by that Compliance Baseline.

===== Example =====

An Infrastructure Environment conforms to a selected Security Baseline when the Environment satisfies each applicable requirement established by that Security Baseline.
