Family Guides
Family Guides
Family guides explain each AWOSS-* control family in plain language for readers who need more context than the formal standard draft provides.
Non-normative guidance
Family guides do not create new requirements. They explain purpose, level intent, control detail, evidence examples, and external mapping context for the current working draft.
How to use these guides
- Start with the guide when you need purpose, level intent, control rationale, and evidence examples.
- Use the formal standard draft when you need candidate requirement text, levels, and normative wording.
- Treat levels as cumulative: Level 2 builds on Level 1, and Level 3 builds on both.
- Use external mapping notes as context, not as a replacement for the formal standard draft.
