How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.
Voluntary notification by an operator to the competent authority of a potential or confirmed compliance violation, before the authority discovers it independently. A mitigating factor under Article 99(7)(h) that can substantially affect fine outcomes.
Naming a gap yourself, in your own words, with an owner and a remediation date, before an examiner finds it. A self-disclosed gap is controlled by you and signals governance maturity; a found, undisclosed gap reads as a miss or a cover-up.
Telling affected people before they find out from an outside source. The strongest position; a statement timed to a journalist's call is exposure managed, not self-disclosure, and readers can usually tell the difference.
