How Safeguard covers KN DPA 2018

  • 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.

What a scan checks

Each scan of a product checks these 5 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
KN-DPA-SEC Security PrincipleData users must take practical steps to protect personal data from loss, misuse, modification, or unauthorized access, having regard to the security measures incorporated into the equipment and systems where data is stored; integrity hashes on those software components evidence such steps (DPA 2018, Security Principle, Part II)Scan
KN-DPA-INTEG Data Integrity PrinciplePersonal data must be accurate, complete, and not misleading, which presumes the software performing the processing is itself fully identified by name and concrete version (DPA 2018, Data Integrity Principle, Part II)Scan
KN-DPA-PROC Processor ReliabilityData users must ensure the reliability, integrity, and competence of processors and personnel with access to personal data, requiring named, accountable suppliers for the processing software (DPA 2018, data-processor obligations)Scan
KN-DPA-NOT Notice and TransparencyData users must give data subjects notice of the processing of their personal data, which presupposes documented, uniquely identified and timestamped records of the processing environment (DPA 2018, Notice and Choice Principle, Part II)Scan
KN-DPA-INV Processing RecordsThe Act's obligations on data users to manage, retain, and disclose personal data responsibly presuppose a maintained inventory of the software components that perform the processing (DPA 2018, data-user obligations)Scan
