Consistent status rules

Apply the same definitions across the organisation, while allowing the evidence and expectations to reflect each product’s context and risk.

Green · Meets expectationNo material unmanaged risk; agreed outcomes and controls are in place.
Amber · Needs attentionA bounded or emerging issue has a credible mitigation and named owner.
Red · Urgent interventionA material threshold is breached, a commitment is not credible, or urgent action is required.
Grey · Evidence unavailableData is missing, stale or not yet validated. Never treat unknown as green.

How to interpret this view

!
Do not average away critical riskA red security status remains material even when delivery and other dimensions are green.
↔
Look for patterns, not rankingsUse repeated amber or red signals to identify systemic constraints, dependencies and support needs.
✓
Make action and ownership visibleFor each material issue, record evidence, accountable owner, mitigation and target date.
