So it doesn't look like you're just coming up with cases that
Sharepoint doesn't do, you might consider something like the
TRAC checklist:

2007 version, from CRL:
	http://www.crl.edu/sites/default/files/attachments/pages/trac_0.pdf
2011 update from CCSDS:
	http://public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/652x0m1.pdf

The 2011 update should mirror what's in ISO 16363.

Most of the other certifications that I've seen look more at the 
organization, and don't have specific portions for technology.

ps.  A quick search for 'SharePoint' and 'OAIS' led me to :

... which as best I can tell is the abstract for a poster at OR2011.
