Draft Standards D01–D03 Now Available for Download
ISAUnited is pleased to announce that the first three Parent Standards of the Defensible 10 Standards (D10S) are now available for public download as pre–peer review drafts.
These early drafts give practitioners, students, researchers, and organizations the opportunity to explore the structure, engineering depth, and design expectations that define the D10S ahead of the official Fall 2025 release.
A Platform for Engineering Collaboration
D01 – Network Security Architecture & Engineering: Defines measurable engineering expectations for segmentation, secure transport, access control, boundary defenses, observability, and network design verification.
D02 – Cloud Security Architecture & Resilience: Outlines resilient, identity-aware, multi-cloud engineering patterns for secure workloads, cloud boundaries, and verification in dynamic environments.
D03 – Compute, Platform & Workload Security Architecture: Establishes the engineering specifications needed to secure compute platforms, orchestrators, workloads, runtime integrity, and platform-level validation.
Each draft is available as a downloadable PDF.
D10S GitHub Repository Also Updated
All three Parent Standards have also been added to the official D10S GitHub repository for open visibility:
version history
document updates
issue tracking
public read access
Practitioners can now review how the standards are evolving and track incoming changes as peer review progresses.

Important Note: These Drafts Are Pre–Peer Review Copies
These documents represent early engineering drafts. They are posted publicly to support:
transparency
early study and adoption preparation
community awareness
upcoming contributor participation
Official publication will follow:
full Technical Fellow Society peer review,
revision cycle,
formatting and governance approval,
and final release in Fall 2025.
Drafts should not yet be treated as finalized technical standards.
Contribute During Open Season 2025
ISAUnited invites global practitioners, engineers, and students to participate in the upcoming Open Season for Sub-Standard development.
If you wish to author or co-author a Sub-Standard:
Registration is open to ISAUnited members and non-members worldwide.
More Updates Coming Soon
As additional Parent Standards complete internal review, we will continue releasing public drafts and updating the GitHub repository.
