Reliable communications infrastructure and a backup plan for communications problems and ensuring information security and privacy and varifiable ability to detect and breaches as they take place (if that is doable today).

You have to test every function and make sure they are working correctly, open source solution is not formally tested, and when you found such issue you need to fix it and fixing it is done by two ways:

1)      There may be update that solves this issue.

 

2)      You need to fix it manually from the source code.
