How Safeguard covers TT DPA

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
`TT-DPA-SEC` Security Safeguards Principle	Personal information must be protected by safeguards appropriate to its sensitivity, including integrity protection for the systems that store it (DPA 2011 s.6 General Privacy Principles, security safeguard)	Scan
`TT-DPA-ACC` Accuracy of Information	Organizations must keep personal information accurate and up to date, which requires precise version tracking of the software maintaining records (DPA 2011 s.6 General Privacy Principles, accuracy)	Scan
`TT-DPA-INV` Accountability for Processing Systems	An organization is accountable for personal information under its control, presupposing an inventory of the systems and components handling it (DPA 2011 s.6 General Privacy Principles, accountability)	Scan
`TT-DPA-TP` Third-Party Disclosure Controls	Disclosure to and processing by third parties must be controlled, so the suppliers behind processing components must be identified (DPA 2011, third-party disclosure provisions)	Scan
`TT-DPA-DOC` Openness and Documentation	Policies and practices about information handling must be documented and available, met by an identifiable, timestamped record of the software environment (DPA 2011 s.6 General Privacy Principles, openness)	Scan

All 22 from the standard set, adapted to TT DPA.
