What Efterlev is not¶
Limitations restated positively.
This page is a placeholder for SPEC-38.4. Substantial content lands in a follow-up batch. The authoritative source is LIMITATIONS.md.
Short version:
- Not an Authorization to Operate. Drafts and findings, not authorizations. The 3PAO + Authorizing Official own the ATO decision.
- Not a SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / GDPR tool. Other tools serve those well; Efterlev's depth is gov-grade frameworks.
- Not a runtime cloud-API scanner. Efterlev reads
.tfsource and Evidence Manifests. Cloud-API scanning is v1.5+, gated on customer pull. - Not a continuous-monitoring daemon. v0.1.0 runs on demand. The provenance graph is structured for continuous monitoring; the daemon isn't built yet.
- Not a SaaS. Local-first, no telemetry, no phone-home, no account.
- Not a guarantee of accuracy. LLM-generated artifacts are drafts. Every Claim carries a non-removable
DRAFT — requires human reviewmarker.
