Does the application need to exchange data with other applications, consumers, producers that it cannot store locally?

Precisions

In the use of digital services, data exchanges are both essential but generate a significant consumption of resources. Reducing trade needs to the strict minimum reduces the impact of such trade. Only the global view of flows with their sources, destinations and objectives makes it possible to qualify the need and accept the impact of the consumption they generate.

Use Case

Data flow matrix is used

Additional elements

Operational issues related to the project

Rule for assessing the level of compliance of the criterion

Formalized = 100 ; Planned = 75 ; Identified = 50 ; Ignored = 0 / 100

Life cycle

Conception

4 other criteria related to the recommendation: Associate data, flows, applications and security to allow their identification and traceability

Recommendation Essential

Life cycle

Is each component deployed qualified from the point of view of its lifespan, and are the deprovisioning procedures systematically expressed ?

Advice

Software Design Sustainable IT

Has data frugality been incorporated ?

Advice

Software design

Are the security, accessibility, and Responsible Digital aspects treated in the same way for each element of the architecture ?

Recommendation

Software design

Is the traceability of security requirements guaranteed ?
