Future Certification Considerations

Where this pillar is heading.

CABO is a living framework. The following considerations are currently under review for future versions of the Assurance pillar. They are signals, not current requirements — current certification remains anchored to the scope, evidence, and controls above.

Third-party attestation for major service-pattern changes
Continuous evidence capture via operational data feeds
Public disclosure of summary certification metrics
