Summary

Adds structured threat intelligence to risk register evidence gates to the ISO 27001 gap analysis skill, addressing the gaps identified in #2704.

Changes

New: Threat Intelligence to Risk Register Evidence Gates (A.5.7)

Added six-element evidence flow framework:

Element Purpose
Intelligence Source Documented source of threat intelligence
Relevance Decision Documented assessment of whether intelligence applies
Risk Register Link Traceable connection to risk register item
Treatment Owner Named individual/role responsible for risk response
Residual Score Update Risk score updated when threat landscape changes
Review Timestamp When intelligence was reviewed and decision made

False Positive Guidance

Added explicit guidance that advisory-only feeds are valid when:

  • Feed items are triaged in quarterly risk review workflow
  • Relevance decisions are documented even if no register entry created
  • Intelligence is assessed and determined not relevant

Missed Variant Detection

Added detection patterns for:

  • "Sector-specific ransomware advisory affects a critical supplier, but no risk register item or treatment decision is created"
  • "Threat feed severity changes from medium to critical, but risk register residual score and owner review stay unchanged"
  • "Intelligence from 6+ months ago is still the basis for risk decisions without freshness review"

Edge Case Handling

Added validity criteria for:

  • False-positive indicators
  • Duplicate feeds
  • Supplier-only exposure
  • Regional advisories
  • Expired intelligence windows

Remediation Quality Checklist

Added six-item checklist for threat intelligence improvement recommendations.

Testing

  • Verified SKILL.md syntax and structure
  • Confirmed all six evidence elements are documented
  • Validated edge case tables render correctly
  • Checked false positive guidance alignment with review feedback

Related Issues

Closes #2704

Checklist

  • Changes are scoped to the reviewed skill
  • False positive analysis addressed
  • Coverage gaps filled with detection patterns
  • Edge cases documented
  • Remediation quality improved with structured checklist
  • No new security issues introduced
  • No functionality broken

Add structured threat intelligence evidence flow framework to A.5.7:
- Intelligence Source: documented source of threat intelligence
- Relevance Decision: documented assessment of applicability
- Risk Register Link: traceable connection to register item
- Treatment Owner: named individual/role for risk response
- Residual Score Update: score updated when threat changes
- Review Timestamp: when intelligence was reviewed

Add false positive guidance for advisory-only feeds.
Add missed variant detection for supplier-specific advisories.
Add edge case handling for duplicate feeds, regional advisories.
Add remediation quality checklist for intelligence improvements.

Closes UnitOneAI#2704
