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 |
|---|---|---|
GQ-MAL-SEC Security Obligations of the Data Controller | Data controllers must take all appropriate precautions to secure personal data and prevent it from being deformed, damaged, or accessed by unauthorized third parties, implying integrity controls over processing systems (Malabo Convention, controller security obligations, Art. 21-area) | Scan |
GQ-MAL-QUAL Accuracy and Currency of Data | The Convention's basic processing principles require personal data to be accurate and kept up to date, which requires tracked versions of the software maintaining it (Malabo Convention, basic principles governing processing, Art. 13-area) | Scan |
GQ-MAL-INV Accountability for Processing Systems | Controller accountability for lawful processing presupposes an inventory of the software systems and components that process personal data (Malabo Convention, controller obligations) | Scan |
GQ-MAL-PROC Third-Party Processing Safeguards | Processing carried out through processors or third parties must offer sufficient guarantees, so the suppliers of processing components must be identified (Malabo Convention, processor/confidentiality obligations) | Scan |
GQ-MAL-CYB National Cybersecurity Readiness | The Convention's cybersecurity chapter requires parties to promote the security of information systems, including the ability to identify the components of critical systems (Malabo Convention, national cybersecurity framework provisions) | Scan |
GQ-MAL-DOC Transparency of Processing | The transparency principle requires documented, identifiable information about processing, met by a timestamped machine-readable record of the software environment (Malabo Convention, transparency principle) | Scan |
