02 SSO Admins and break-glass roles
03 Conditional access Applications, scripts, integrations
04 RBAC Context-based access decisions

How security evidence constrains architecture

How security evidence constrains architecture
Architecture Element	What HRHK Evaluates	Publication Value
Human identity	Employees, contractors, vendors	MFA, SSO, lifecycle
Privileged identity	Admins and break-glass roles	Just-in-time access and audit
Service identity	Applications, scripts, integrations	Secrets rotation and least privilege
Policy engine	Context-based access decisions	Conditional control
