Title

Third-Party Review

Control

Providers SHOULD engage a third-party assessor to review the scope and impact of the planned change before starting transformative changes if human validation is necessary; such reviews SHOULD be limited to security decisions that require human validation.

Discussion

Activities that match the transformative significant change type are rare for a cloud service offering, adjusted for the size, scale, and complexity of the service. Small cloud service offerings may go years without transformative changes, while hyperscale providers may release multiple transformative changes per year.
