comprehensive authorized software process

A compositional phrase, not a term of art. The words "comprehensive," "authorized software," and "process" each carry their ordinary security-configuration meanings — respectively, covering multiple levels of abstraction, limiting execution to explicitly permitted code, and the organizational lifecycle (identification, enforcement, and periodic review) for doing so. The phrase describes the goal that an allowlisting program should span all software layers (applications, modules, APIs, system services, kernel functions, drivers, etc.) rather than operating only at the application level, but it is not defined, scoped, or used as a standalone concept anywhere in the standards corpus.
