This pattern is not simply a relabeling of general InnerSource security-sharing practices. Security-related sharing already benefits from mature, largely automated visibility tooling (scanners, SIEMs, dependency graphs), so the open-source-inside-the-firewall question for security is mostly "how open should access to already-visible information be." Privacy starts a step earlier: the information often isn't reliably visible or standardized at all, regardless of access level, because the tooling and organizational habits that make security status legible haven't been built for privacy. This pattern's two-repository structure exists specifically to close that earlier gap, creating the standardized, structured record in the first place, before the same access-tiering logic used in security contexts can even be meaningfully applied.
