How Safeguard covers BS DPA

Scan requirements: 5, all decided by a scan.
Controls: the scan requirements below.
Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
Policy templates: 22 from the standard set.

How each kind of coverage works, and what the readiness score counts: Compliance frameworks.

Each scan of a product checks these 5 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

Requirement	What Safeguard checks	Decided by
`BS-DPA-SEC` Appropriate Security Measures	Data controllers must take appropriate security measures against unauthorized access to, alteration, or destruction of personal data held in their systems (DP(PPI)A 2003, controller security duty)	Scan
`BS-DPA-ACC` Accuracy and Currency of Data	Personal data must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date, requiring version tracking of the software maintaining records (DP(PPI)A 2003, accuracy duty)	Scan
`BS-DPA-INV` Knowledge of Held Data and Systems	A controller must know what personal data it keeps and for what purpose, presupposing an inventory of the processing software (DP(PPI)A 2003, controller duties)	Scan
`BS-DPA-PROC` Data Processor Safeguards	Processing carried out by data processors on a controller's behalf must be governed by equivalent safeguards, so processing-component suppliers must be identifiable (DP(PPI)A 2003, data-processor provisions)	Scan
`BS-DPA-DOC` Documented Processing Environment	Accountability to the Data Protection Commissioner requires a documented, identifiable record of the processing environment (DP(PPI)A 2003, Commissioner oversight)	Scan

All 22 from the standard set, adapted to BS DPA.
