The Traceability Matrix
Identifying a risk control is useless if you cannot prove it was implemented. This is why linking your RMF to V&V (Verification and Validation) is mandatory.
Verification vs Validation
Every risk control must have a corresponding verification test (e.g., "Software unit test for temperature limit") or validation protocol (e.g., "Usability test for alarm audibility").
Automating the Loop
A Traceability Matrix is the standard way to prove this link. It maps the Hazard ID -> Risk Control ID -> Test Protocol ID -> Test Report Result.
Maintaining this manually in Excel is a nightmare when requirements change. Modern tools like MedMI provide synchronized traceability matrices, ensuring no risk control falls through the cracks during testing.
