CybersecurityHQ operates as an External Cybersecurity Judgment of Record.
Cyber Briefing Notes surface time-bound signals and pressure conditions relevant to executive cyber decision-making. These notes inform, but do not themselves constitute, published judgments.
Delegated authority executes before it can be observed, contextualized, or withdrawn. Update servers push trust autonomously. Alarm systems actuate control without identity binding. Platforms lock down because user choice failed under pressure.
Recovery occurs outside the delegation path, not as an exception, but as a design assumption.
If revocation is not a first-class primitive in the delegation model, what exactly do governance frameworks believe they are certifying.
