How Safeguard covers DO L172-13

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
`DO-L172-SEC` Security of Data	The data controller must take technical and organizational measures to guarantee the security of personal data and prevent alteration, loss, or unauthorized access to the systems processing it (Law No. 172-13, data-security obligation)	Scan
`DO-L172-QUAL` Data Quality	Data must be certain, adequate, and kept current, which requires operators to track precise versions of the software components maintaining records (Law No. 172-13, data-quality principle)	Scan
`DO-L172-PROC` Processing Services by Third Parties	When processing is outsourced, the provider acts only under contract and equivalent safeguards, so third-party software suppliers must be identified (Law No. 172-13, third-party processing provision)	Scan
`DO-L172-REG` Database Accountability	Databases and the systems operating them must be identifiable and accounted for to the supervisory framework, presupposing a software inventory (Law No. 172-13, database registration/accountability)	Scan
`DO-L172-DOC` Documented Processing Environment	Duties of information and lawful processing require a documented, timestamped record of the processing environment (Law No. 172-13, duty of information)	Scan

All 22 from the standard set, adapted to DO L172-13.
