GLOBAL DIGITAL ASSURANCE FRAMEWORK FOR INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS (G-DAFIS-A)

The Global Digital Assurance Framework for Intelligence Systems (G-DAFIS-A) is a non-certifying, non-regulatory, non-operational assurance framework governing the evaluation of intelligence systems under conditions of institutional reliance, delegation, and scale. This framework does not establish standards, compliance obligations, certification schemes, audit criteria, controls, or implementation guidance. It does not provide technical prescriptions, security controls, governance models, risk management practices, or conformity requirements. G-DAFIS-A defines interpretive assurance boundaries only. It establishes the conceptual and constitutional conditions under which intelligence systems may be assessed for legitimacy, accountability, and reliance without asserting enforcement authority or regulatory standing. This publication is intended for policymakers, regulators, institutional reviewers, courts, auditors, assurance professionals, and system architects seeking a pre-standard interpretive reference for digital intelligence assurance without conflating assurance with certification. This work is published as a fixed Version 1.0 reference. Any future evolutions, derivatives, or standards shall remain separate and non-substitutable. This publication is intentionally non-standard, non-certifying, and non-regulatory. Any interpretation of this work as a compliance framework, certification basis, audit standard, or regulatory instrument constitutes misuse.
