Could a production change bypass your approvals?

Five questions. No login, integrations, credentials, or claims of certification. Answer based on what you actually know, then copy the summary to discuss with your team.

This is a self-reported educational checklist. It does not inspect your infrastructure, establish security coverage, or validate enforcement.

1. Execution paths

Are all ways to deploy to production inventoried, including admin and emergency routes?

2. Exact change

Is approval tied to the exact artifact, target environment and change revision?

3. Independence

Does the executing person or service lack the ability to grant its own required approval?

4. Decision at execution

Does the execution gate recheck current approval, policy and identity immediately before the action?

5. Outcome evidence

Can you independently verify what actually ran, rather than relying on an approval or permit alone?

The fixed-scope $750 Production Change Control Audit reviews one workflow and identifies supported findings, unknowns and prioritized fixes. It is not a certification or installation of enforcement.
