Cybersecurity Case

Definition

Cybersecurity Case: Structured argument with evidence that an item's cybersecurity goals are met. The cybersecurity case is the assurance argument that ties claims to evidence.

Where this matters: ISO/SAE 21434 Consulting

It is updated through development, used as the basis for cybersecurity assessment, and referenced in the release-for-post-development decision. Without a clean case, an audit cannot find the path from a threat to its mitigation.
