At least for me, that part means that you can easily implement
information assurance models on top of the Flask architecture, with the
"defense in depth" philosophy, which is basically putting layered
defenses all-together for ensuring that breakage, corruption, overriding
or any other type of mis-use either desired or undesired against one or
more layers, can't lead to a complete compromise of the environment.

All the rest of CC and the like it's much of the same, but talking in
technical terms, it's what I've told you AFAIK.
