What good looks like

Environments are segregated; production data is not used unmasked in lower environments.

Risk if it fails

Untested code/test artefacts in production; data exposure.

How Tess tests it

3 tests — each concludes only on cited evidence.

Dev/test/prod separation designed

Design
Procedure
Inspect the architecture.
Expected
Environments segregated.
Sample
1 (design inspection)
Evidence
Architecture diagram, env configs, masking evidence.

Access boundaries enforced between envs

Operating
Procedure
Inspect access controls.
Expected
Separate access per environment.
Sample
25 (or full config inspection)
Evidence
Architecture diagram, env configs, masking evidence.

Production data not used unmasked in lower envs

Operating
Procedure
Inspect lower-env data.
Expected
Synthetic or masked.
Sample
25 (or full config inspection)
Evidence
Architecture diagram, env configs, masking evidence.

Evidence Tess looks for
