How Safeguard covers SK DPA
- Scan requirements: 6, 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 6 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
SK-DPA-A32 Security of Processing | Technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk must safeguard systems that process personal data; verifiable integrity hashes on deployed software components evidence this control (GDPR Art. 32, as given effect in Slovakia by Act No. 18/2018 Coll., which restates these duties in Slovak law). | Scan |
SK-DPA-A5F Integrity and Confidentiality Principle | Personal data must be processed in a manner ensuring its security and integrity, which requires the processing software stack to consist of components with known, assessable versions (GDPR Art. 5(1)(f), applied alongside Act No. 18/2018 Coll., which restates these duties in Slovak law). | Scan |
SK-DPA-A30 Records of Processing Systems | Controllers and processors must maintain records of processing activities, which presupposes an inventory of the software systems and components through which personal data flows (GDPR Art. 30; Act No. 18/2018 Coll., which restates these duties in Slovak law). | Scan |
SK-DPA-A28 Processor and Vendor Accountability | Processing carried out on behalf of a controller may only use processors offering sufficient guarantees, so third-party software components in the processing chain must have identifiable suppliers (GDPR Art. 28; Act No. 18/2018 Coll., which restates these duties in Slovak law). | Scan |
SK-DPA-A33 Breach-Notification Readiness | Personal data breaches must be notified to the supervisory authority without undue delay and where feasible within 72 hours, which requires affected software components to be rapidly and unambiguously identifiable (GDPR Art. 33; Act No. 18/2018 Coll., which restates these duties in Slovak law). | Scan |
SK-DPA-A24 Accountability of the Controller | Responsibility for processing operations must be demonstrable, which includes documented provenance of who produced the record of the software estate that processes personal data (GDPR Art. 24 and Art. 5(2); Act No. 18/2018 Coll., which restates these duties in Slovak law). | Scan |
