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).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
BJ-CN-SEC Security of Processing | Controllers and processors must implement technical and organisational measures ensuring a level of security appropriate to the risk, protecting data integrity and confidentiality, evidenced by integrity hashes on processing components (Digital Code 2018, Book V security-of-processing obligations) | Scan |
BJ-CN-REC Records of Processing Activities | Controllers must document their processing activities for the APDP, which presupposes an inventory of the software systems performing the processing (Digital Code 2018, Book V accountability and record-keeping duties) | Scan |
BJ-CN-PROC Processor Guarantees | Controllers may only engage processors presenting sufficient guarantees under a binding contract, so third-party software components must have named suppliers (Digital Code 2018, Book V controller-processor provisions) | Scan |
BJ-CN-BRN Breach Notification Readiness | Personal data breaches must be notified to the APDP, which requires the components of affected systems to be quickly identifiable (Digital Code 2018, Book V breach-notification duty) | Scan |
BJ-CN-FMT Machine-Readable Compliance Records | Demonstrating compliance under a digital-first code is practical only if software records are produced in standard machine-readable formats with document identity (Digital Code 2018, Book V compliance-demonstration duties) | Scan |
