How each kind of coverage works, and what the readiness score counts: Compliance frameworks.
What a scan checks
Each scan of a product checks these 6 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
BB-DPA-SEC Security of Processing | Controllers and processors must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure processing, including integrity of processing systems (DPA 2019, GDPR Art. 32-style security-of-processing obligation) | Scan |
BB-DPA-ROPA Records of Processing Activities | Controllers must maintain records of processing activities, which presupposes an inventory of the software components involved in processing (DPA 2019, records-of-processing duty) | Scan |
BB-DPA-PROC Processor Obligations | Processing on behalf of a controller requires binding contracts and sufficient guarantees, so third-party component suppliers must be identified (DPA 2019, processor-contract obligation) | Scan |
BB-DPA-BREACH Breach Notification Readiness | Personal data breaches must be notified to the Commissioner, which requires the ability to identify exactly which components were affected (DPA 2019, breach-notification duty) | Scan |
BB-DPA-ACC Accuracy Principle | Personal data must be accurate and kept up to date, requiring precise version tracking of the software maintaining it (DPA 2019, accuracy principle) | Scan |
BB-DPA-DOC Accountability Documentation | The controller must be able to demonstrate compliance, met by an identifiable, timestamped machine-readable record of the processing environment (DPA 2019, accountability principle) | Scan |
