How Safeguard covers PG Cyber

  • 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
PG-CCA-ACC Unauthorised-Access Detection ReadinessIllegal access to computer systems is an offence, and detecting or investigating it requires system components to be uniquely identifiable (Cybercrime Code Act 2016, illegal-access offences, Part on offences against computer data and systems)Scan
PG-CCA-INT Data Interference DetectionUnauthorised damaging, deletion or alteration of computer data is criminalised, so operators should be able to detect tampering via integrity hashes on software components (Cybercrime Code Act 2016, data-interference offences)Scan
PG-CCA-SYS System InventoryProtecting systems from serious hindering (system interference) presupposes an inventory of the software components that make up those systems (Cybercrime Code Act 2016, system-interference offences)Scan
PG-CCA-VER Version Knowledge for Incident ResponseResponding to and prosecuting cyber offences requires knowing exactly which software versions were running when an incident occurred (Cybercrime Code Act 2016, investigation provisions)Scan
PG-CCA-PRES Forensic Record PreservationExpedited preservation of stored computer data during investigations requires system records to be identifiable, timestamped documents (Cybercrime Code Act 2016, data-preservation and procedural powers)Scan
