Summary

Renamed 'Policy evaluation' to 'Standards evaluation' and refined the description of how changes are assessed against organizational standards.

Security assessment

The terminology change from 'policy' to 'standards' doesn't indicate a security fix. While security is mentioned as one of several compliance areas, this is a routine documentation refinement without evidence of addressing vulnerabilities.
