Evidence-Gated Assurance Framework (EGAF) overview
2026-08-30 — The Evidence-Gated Assurance Framework (EGAF) is the public bar for verified software delivery: ten industry profiles and per-commit conformance with evidence.
EGAF Industrial profile for IEC 61508 and rail
2026-08-30 — The EGAF Industrial profile (L3) crosswalks IEC 61508-3 and EN 50128. How the framework works for industrial and rail safety-related software.
EGAF Automotive profile for ISO 26262 software
2026-08-30 — The EGAF Automotive profile (L3) crosswalks ISO 26262 parts 6/8/9 and MISRA C:2012. How the framework works, and why ASIL comes from the adopter's HARA.
EGAF Aerospace profile: L3 safety-critical software
2026-08-30 — The EGAF Aerospace profile (L3) crosswalks DO-178C, DO-330/331/333, ARP4754A, and ARP4761. How the framework works for airborne software today.
EGAF AI-Regulated profile for high-risk AI systems
2026-08-30 — The EGAF AI-Regulated profile (L2) crosswalks the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, OWASP LLM Top 10, and OWASP Agentic ASI, and pulls AGT-10 into L2.
EGAF Public Sector profile for government software
2026-08-30 — The EGAF Public Sector profile (L2) crosswalks NIST 800-53, CISA SSDAF, NIST CSF 2.0, Section 508, and EN 301 549. How the framework works here.
EGAF Defense profile: L2 assurance for CUI programs
2026-08-30 — The EGAF Defense profile (L2) crosswalks CMMC / NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-161, and CISA SSDAF. How the framework works — and what it does not scope.
EGAF Health profile: L2 assurance for medical software
2026-08-30 — The EGAF Health profile (L2) crosswalks HIPAA, HITRUST, IEC 62304, 21 CFR Part 11, and FDA premarket cybersecurity. How the framework works for health software.
EGAF Financial profile: L2 assurance for regulated finance
2026-08-30 — The EGAF Financial profile (L2) crosswalks PCI DSS, SOX ITGC, NYDFS Part 500, GLBA, EU DORA, and SR 11-7. How the framework works for finance.
EGAF OSS Maintainer profile for open-source projects
2026-08-30 — The EGAF OSS Maintainer profile is L1 plus OpenSSF Scorecard and OSPS Baseline. How the framework works, and what publishing open source adds to Core.
