How Safeguard covers BZ DPA 2021

Scan requirements: 6, 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 6 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

Requirement	What Safeguard checks	Decided by
`BZ-DPA-SEC` Security of Processing	Controllers and processors must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data and the integrity of processing systems (DPA 2021, GDPR Art. 32-style security obligation)	Scan
`BZ-DPA-ROPA` Records of Processing	Controllers must be able to account for their processing activities, presupposing an inventory of the software components involved (DPA 2021, accountability/records duty)	Scan
`BZ-DPA-PROC` Processor Contracts and Guarantees	Processing on a controller's behalf requires binding contracts and sufficient guarantees, so third-party component suppliers must be identified (DPA 2021, processor obligations)	Scan
`BZ-DPA-BREACH` Breach Notification Readiness	Personal data breaches must be notified to the Commissioner, requiring the ability to pinpoint which components were affected (DPA 2021, breach-notification duty)	Scan
`BZ-DPA-ACC` Accuracy Principle	Personal data must be accurate and kept up to date, requiring precise version tracking of the software maintaining it (DPA 2021, accuracy principle)	Scan
`BZ-DPA-DOC` Demonstrable Compliance Documentation	The accountability principle requires demonstrable compliance via identifiable, timestamped documentation of the processing environment (DPA 2021, accountability principle)	Scan

All 22 from the standard set, adapted to BZ DPA 2021.
