Administrators retain management access during a controlled data-plane outage. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A perimeter device is managed only through the same user data path that is often under attack, usually addressed by Provide a separately secured out-of-band management path with isolated credentials. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Atlas Scientific was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Local data-plane rules continue to enforce the last valid deployed configuration during manager loss.
