5.1.1.6 Identified and documented critical processes that affect its ability to comply with its mandatory responsibilities Copy URL

The repository shall have identified and documented critical processes that affect its ability to comply with its mandatory responsibilities.

This is necessary in order to ensure that the critical processes can be monitored to ensure that they continue to meet the mandatory responsibilities and to ensure that any changes to those processes are examined and tested.

Traceability matrix between processes and mandatory requirements.

Examples of critical processes include data management, access, archival storage, ingest, and security processes. Traceability makes it possible to understand which repository processes are required to meet each of the mandatory responsibilities.

These are Key Performance Parameters. Let’s work on a better mapping matrix that identifies the functionality to meet this, as well as the specific processes in place. Some of these are functional requirements, and some are non-functional. But the above does do the basic trick. We DO need to update the pages in many case.
