Compatibility profiles for closed standards

Explains how closed and paywalled standards (for example ISO 31000, ISO 22301 and ISO/IEC 27001) are related to Nexus artifacts without reproducing them: named-only references by clause number and URL, profiles exercised only on synthetic example data, held on access-controlled pages and carrying a not-affiliated notice, and activated publicly only after an arrangement with the issuing body is recorded as an executed obligation. Each artifact of the area carries a UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier).

02Scope

Scope and boundaries

An area of the Foundations and Governance programme (foundations). The area profile sets out 5 matters in scope and 3 matters addressed by other areas.

In scope 5

  • Clause-number crosswalks that refer to the issuing body's page without quoting it
  • Synthetic example datasets for profile exercises
  • Access rules for protected pages and the not-affiliated notice
  • Activation procedure per issuing body and the executed-obligation record
  • Open alternatives that can be adopted in place of a closed baseline

Out of scope 3

  • Reproduction, summary or paraphrase of closed standards
  • Any statement of equivalence to, or conformity with, a closed standard
  • Actual institutional data on protected pages

Jurisdictions Application in each jurisdiction is a national decision, taken by the National Standards Council (NSC) with the competent national authorities.

03Earth observation

Population, settlement and hazards in Latin America and the Caribbean

The map frames Latin America and the Caribbean as an example geography for compatibility profiles for closed; the frame gives context and is not a statement of where the standards apply. Shown at first: population density, 2020 (Gridded Population of the World v4.11, NASA SEDAC, CIESIN, Columbia University) and night-time lights, daily (VIIRS Black Marble, VNP46A2, NASA LAADS DAAC). The layer drawer adds flood water, 3-day composite (VIIRS Global Flood Product); active fires and thermal anomalies, last day (VIIRS NOAA-20 375 m, FIRMS); and true colour (VIIRS NOAA-20 corrected reflectance). NASA products are served through NASA GIBS under NASA's open data policy, with acknowledgement; population density is GPW v4.11 by CIESIN, Columbia University, under CC BY 4.0; coastlines, boundaries and place names come from NASA GIBS reference layers (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL) and Natural Earth (public domain). Each layer shows its own observation date; full credits are given under the map. Other sources of the profile, such as NIST OSCAL content (SP 800-53 Rev. 5 catalogue in OSCAL JSON) and NIST National Vulnerability Database APIs (open data for simulated control exercises), are listed for reference.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

04Process

The process in operation

An external standard enters the register with its body, version, link and relation; crosswalk rows cite external clauses by number; a claim of relation exists only through a clause set that cites the standard and is evaluated; the claim is displayed with its attestation results, names and marks stay with their stewards, and no claim of compliance or certification is made except by quoting an authority decision. 7 operations in 5 phases, built from the area profile: the cards carry its own data sources, indicators, open standards, couplings and, where listed, hazards, and each operation names the Nexus rules it implements (7). Records and artifacts are cited by UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier) and version.

Foundation, referenced and implementing layers

The standards architecture of this context, from the foundation standards to the open standards referenced (grouped by type of relation) and the services and data sources that build on them.

06Nexus Standards

Applicable Nexus Standards

The area profile lists 2 Nexus Standards. Each is a proposed standard under development.

    NS-10 · Policies and clauses (machine-readable obligations: definition, binding, evaluation and enforcement)

    Status: proposed · 7 requirements stated. Read NS-10

07System model and scenario simulator

System model and cascade scenario: Compatibility profiles for closed standards

A system model of this area built from the registry: 5 systems, 3 sectors, 8 controls, 2 feeds, 1 indicator. Select the components to include, choose an initiating hazard and run the scenario. Stress propagates through the hazard relations of the Nexus Hazard Standard (NHS-1), the exposure of each system, the recorded couplings and the sectors that carry the loss; adopted standards dampen transmission and live data sources support detection. All parameters are stated assumptions that the reader can adjust; results are illustrative scenario outputs for exercises and training, not forecasts or risk assessments.

Controls

  • NS-10 Policies and clauses (machine-readable obligations: definition, binding, evaluation and enforcement)
  • NS-11 Verification and monitoring (evidence, attestations, zero-trust conformance observation)

  1. Licensing and intellectual propertyFoundations and GovernanceThe copyright of closed standards is why no text, structure or definition is reproduced; the licence rules set what a profile page may contain.
  2. Conformance programmeFoundations and GovernanceProfiles reuse the declaration model on synthetic example data only, and results are not presented as conformance to the closed standard.
  3. Governance and liaisonFoundations and GovernancePublic activation of a profile depends on an arrangement with the issuing body, which the liaison register records only on that body's confirmation.
  4. Trust, Verification and AssuranceTrust, Verification and AssuranceOpen control catalogues mapped by identifier (for example NIST SP 800-53 through OSCAL) let the Trust, Verification and Assurance programme test controls without the closed text.
09Working group

A proposed charter for this area, open to institutions and experts.

Scope

12Research questions

Open research questions

3 questions identified as priorities for the working group.

  1. How to make a clause-number crosswalk useful when the clause numbers change between editions of a closed standard.
  2. How to prevent synthetic example data from being mistaken for an actual assessment when screenshots are shared beyond the protected pages.
  3. What the open alternative should be where no open standard covers a closed management-system requirement.
13Readiness

Evidence, recognition and capital pathways

What each institution of the ecosystem draws from this area: GCRI Canada, as Secretariat, for evidence; The Global Risks Forum (GRF) for recognition; and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) for capital.

Evidence pathway

GCRI Canada

GCRI Canada decides under its own rules whether profile exercises on synthetic example data inform its evidence work; such exercises do not substitute for evidence about an actual institution.

Read the evidence pathway

Recognition pathway

The Global Risks Forum (GRF)

The Global Risks Forum (GRF) determines whether to use profile pages in its dialogues; protected access implies no GRF role.

Read the recognition pathway

Capital pathway

The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)

The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) decides capital readiness under its own criteria; a profile exercise is not an assessment of any member.

Read the capital pathway

Each institution determines under its own rules what it accepts as evidence; a pathway reading is neither an approval nor investment advice.

14Audiences

Intended users

The area profile identifies 3 user communities.

  1. institutions using closed management-system standards
  2. risk and compliance teams
  3. legal reviewers
15Restricted standards

Restricted compatibility profiles

3 standards whose text is not openly available, named and linked only. Any compatibility profile is kept on protected pages until an arrangement with the issuing body is in place.

Status and use. The Nexus Standards are proposed standards developed through an open process under NS-13 and published for voluntary use; they do not constitute certification, accreditation or regulatory approval, and adoption remains a decision of the Global Standards Council and, in each country, of its National Standards Council. A UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier) identifies an artifact; it does not certify it. Names of standards bodies and their standards belong to their stewards and are used only to identify the documents; no text of an external standard is reproduced here. Nexus Standards is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by any standards body named here.

Licences: CC BY 4.0 for standards text, registries, schemas and data; Apache-2.0 for reference code. External standards are cited by name, number and link under their own licences. Third-party data, libraries and fonts keep their own licences: see Third-party notices.
