-The Secure Domain ROM defines the lifecycle states (LCS) for the nRF54H20 SoC.
-The states are based on the Arm PSA Security Model and allow for programming and safely erasing the device assets.
+Lifecycle states control device security features and debug access.
+Each state specifies when and how the device allows the following operations:
+
+* Provision or replace security assets, for example, root keys, certificates, and configuration
+* Enable or disable debug access (open, authenticated, or permanently disabled)
+* Enforce secure boot and prevent rollback
+* Perform failure analysis (RMA) handling
+* Sanitize the device before disposal

+Transitioning LCS
+*****************
+
 You can change the SoC lifecycle state to streamline development and testing:
 
 * During application development, set the SoC to the ``Root of Trust`` (RoT) state.
 * To validate behavior in a production environment, use the ``DEPLOYED`` state.
 
-
 If the device is in LCS ``EMPTY``, transition it to LCS ``RoT`` by following the :ref:`nRF54H20 DK bring-up <ug_nrf54h20_gs_bringup>` procedure.
 
 .. caution::
-   The transition from ``EMPTY`` to ``RoT`` is permanent and cannot be reversed.
+   You can only progress forward through lifecycle states.
+   As such, the transition from ``EMPTY`` to ``RoT`` is permanent and cannot be reversed.
+   Each forward transition increases protection and reduces invasive debug options.
