How SIFTR Works

SIFTR uses a proprietary two-stage analysis pipeline to map governance artefacts to CAF outcomes with zero inference.

1. The Two-Stage Pipeline

  • Stage 1: Sanitisation: The engine identifies and masks PII (Personal Information) and removes “document noise” (headers/footers).
  • Stage 2: Evidence Mapping: The sanitised text is evaluated against the official NCSC Indicators of Good Practice (IGP).

2. Evidence Classification

LabelAudit Meaning
StrongExplicit evidence found that directly supports the outcome.
PartialEvidence is present but lacks specific detail or consistency.
NoneNo explicit evidence was identified in the provided documents.

3. Human-in-the-Loop

SIFTR is a Decision Support Tool. It surfaces the evidence, but the final assessment judgement remains with the qualified organisation lead.
