 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Conformance is the satisfaction of specified requirements.
 +
 +The specified requirements may originate from a specification, [[public: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 [[public: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, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:artifact|Artifact]], [[public: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.
