Standard

Observability and Telemetry Standard

This standard defines minimum observability and telemetry requirements for services operated by the organization. It complements the security logging and monitoring standard (which focuses on security-relevant events) and the AI evaluation procedure (which focuses on model behaviour) by covering operational health, performance, reliability, and customer-experience signals.
