How Safeguard covers CPPA
- Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
- Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 10 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for CPPA.
- Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
- Policy templates: 24: 2 written for CPPA and 22 from the standard set.
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 |
|---|---|---|
CA-CPPA-57 Security Safeguards | Organisations must protect personal information through physical, organisational and technological safeguards proportionate to its sensitivity, which for processing software includes verifiable integrity of components (CPPA s. 57, Bill C-27) | Scan |
CA-CPPA-58 Breach of Security Safeguards Reporting | Breaches of security safeguards creating a real risk of significant harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals, requiring the ability to identify exactly which components were compromised (CPPA s. 58, Bill C-27) | Scan |
CA-CPPA-9 Privacy Management Program | Organisations must implement and document a privacy management program covering the protection of personal information, supported by identifiable, timestamped documentation of processing systems (CPPA s. 9, Bill C-27) | Scan |
CA-CPPA-11 Service Provider Protection Equivalence | When transferring personal information to a service provider, the organisation must ensure substantially equivalent protection, which extends to knowing who supplies the software components in the processing chain (CPPA s. 11, Bill C-27) | Scan |
CA-CPPA-OPEN Openness and Transparency | Organisations must make information about their policies and practices readily available in plain language, a transparency posture served by machine-readable, standardised documentation of processing systems (CPPA openness and transparency provisions, Bill C-27) | Scan |
CA-CPPA-KNOW Accountability for Information Under Control | An organisation is accountable for personal information under its control, which presumes maintained knowledge of the systems and components that store and process it (CPPA accountability provisions, Bill C-27) | Scan |
