Continuous validation programme

Define risk, validate within authorised scope, preserve evidence, assign remediation and retest. Repeat when the system or its authority changes.

A release, new integration, changed MCP tool or revised identity policy can trigger a review. Recurring execution is useful only when findings are reviewed.

Start with an asset owner and manageable checks. Agree a window, request budget, escalation contact and completion criteria. Confirm scheduling or integration availability before relying on it.

Track unresolved risk, remediation time and retest outcomes. Include incomplete coverage in management reporting.

For agents, inventory readable data, callable tools and permitted destinations. Review changes to those permissions.

MCP baseline comparison tracks the declared surface. Combine it with scoped runtime testing when required. A baseline or recurring scan does not guarantee breach prevention.
