| D03 | Missing or weak continuity | No BCP/DRP, undefined RTO/RPO, untested backups. |
| D04 | Weak LGPD/GDPR compliance | No data inventory or third-party clauses. |
| D05 | Low cyber maturity | No EDR/SIEM, vulnerability management or incident response. |
| D06 | Excessive third-party reliance | Critical integrations without SLAs; suppliers never risk-assessed. |
| D07 | No technical documentation | Architecture, flows and integrations undocumented. |
| D08 | Weak intellectual property | Unregistered code and no developer IP assignment. |
