How Safeguard covers LFPDPPP

  • Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 10 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for LFPDPPP.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 24: 2 written for LFPDPPP 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).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
MX-LFPDPPP-19 Security MeasuresControllers must establish and maintain administrative, technical and physical security measures protecting personal data against damage, loss or alteration; verifiable component integrity evidences such measures (LFPDPPP Art. 19)Scan
MX-LFPDPPP-20 Breach Assessment ReadinessSecurity breaches materially affecting data subjects must be reported to them; assessing a breach's scope requires knowing the exact versions of software handling the data (LFPDPPP Art. 20)Scan
MX-LFPDPPP-14 Accountability for Third-Party ProcessingThe controller remains responsible for compliance even when data is processed by third parties on its behalf, which requires knowing who supplies the software components in the processing chain (LFPDPPP Art. 14)Scan
MX-LFPDPPP-11 Data Quality PrinciplePersonal data must be kept accurate, complete and up to date for its purpose; the systems inventory itself must meet the same completeness bar, with components fully named and versioned (LFPDPPP Art. 11)Scan
MX-LFPDPPP-30 Personal Data OfficerEvery controller must designate a person or department responsible for personal data, providing a reachable point of accountability for the systems described in the SBOM (LFPDPPP Art. 30)Scan
MX-LFPDPPP-36 Transfer DocumentationDomestic and international transfers must be documented and communicated via the privacy notice, presupposing identifiable, timestamped documentation of the processing environment (LFPDPPP Art. 36)Scan
