Provenance tracking establishes an unbroken chain of custody for every critical artifact, package, and board. Record supplier, inspection date, and digital hash for each library, FPGA bitstream, and operating-system patch in a secure ledger such as a cryptographically signed SBOM. When anomalies occur on orbit, engineers can quickly trace the suspect component back to a specific vendor lot or Git commit, accelerating remediation and informing procurement about systemic weaknesses.
The [organization] shall document the platform's security architecture, and how it is established within and is an integrated part of the overall [organization] mission security architecture.{PL-7,SA-8(7),SA-8(13),SA-8(29),SA-8(30),SA-17}
The [organization] shall document and design a security architecture using a defense-in-depth approach that allocates the [organization]s defined safeguards to the indicated locations and layers: [Examples include: operating system abstractions and hardware mechanisms to the separate processors in the platform, internal components, and the FSW].{SV-MA-6}{CA-9,PL-7,PL-8,PL-8(1),SA-8(3),SA-8(4),SA-8(7),SA-8(9),SA-8(11),SA-8(13),SA-8(19),SA-8(29),SA-8(30)}
