How Safeguard covers VA DP Frwk

  • 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
VA-GRPD-IC Integrity and Confidentiality PrinciplePersonal data must be processed in a manner ensuring its integrity and confidentiality against unauthorized access or alteration; verifiable integrity hashes on processing components evidence this principle (General Regulation 2024, integrity-and-confidentiality principle)Scan
VA-GRPD-ACC Accuracy PrincipleProcessed personal data must be accurate and kept up to date, which presumes the software performing the processing is fully identified by name and concrete version (General Regulation 2024, accuracy principle)Scan
VA-GRPD-TRANS Transparency of ProcessingProcessing must be transparent to data subjects, presupposing documented, uniquely identified and timestamped records of the processing environment (General Regulation 2024, transparency principle)Scan
VA-GRPD-MIN Purpose Limitation and MinimisationProcessing requires a legitimate purpose and must be limited and proportionate, which requires knowing precisely which software components take part in the processing (General Regulation 2024, purpose-limitation and data-minimisation principles)Scan
VA-GRPD-RESP Accountable Processing PartiesProcessing must be attributable to responsible parties operating under the controller's authority, so third-party software components must carry named, accountable suppliers (General Regulation 2024, controller-responsibility provisions)Scan
