How is Compliance Measured?
Compliance is evaluated in three categories: Deployment, Requirement Specification and API Services (experimental). Software can reach Level 1 or Level 2 depending on how many criteria it fulfils.
Compliance Categories
★☆
Level 1: Software meets minimum thresholds (partial coverage) in at least one category. Requires more integration effort.
★★
Level 2: Software meets nearly all thresholds (full coverage). Requires little to no integration if infrastructure guidance is followed.
GovStack’s compliance framework provides a clear, transparent benchmark for evaluating software. By looking at deployment, APIs, and requirements, it ensures that solutions are interoperable, standards-based, and scalable. The two compliance levels make it simple for governments and organizations to compare options and choose software that best fits their digital transformation needs.
What is Building Block Software?
Building Block Software is any solution that implements one or more GovStack Building Blocks. It ensures that digital services can be built faster, reused, and scaled across contexts.
How to Submit Your
Software
Organizations can self-assess and submit their software for inclusion in the GovStack catalog. This helps promote transparency and adoption of interoperable solutions.
