How Safeguard covers SZ 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).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
SZ-DPA-SEC Security SafeguardsData controllers must implement security measures preventing unauthorized access, loss or misuse of personal data, presuming verifiable integrity of the software components in the processing stack (Data Protection Act 2022, security-safeguards obligation)Scan
SZ-DPA-BREACH 72-Hour Breach Notification ReadinessPersonal data breaches must be reported within 72 hours of awareness; assessing scope that quickly requires precisely identifiable components (PURL/CPE) in the systems that process personal data (Data Protection Act 2022, breach-notification obligation)Scan
SZ-DPA-PROC Processor ObligationsThe Act binds processors as well as controllers, wherever domiciled, requiring the third-party suppliers of processing software and services to be identified and accountable (Data Protection Act 2022, controller-processor obligations)Scan
SZ-DPA-REC Accountable Records of ProcessingAccountability to the Commission presupposes that the organization can enumerate the systems and software components used to process personal data (Data Protection Act 2022, accountability obligations)Scan
SZ-DPA-QUAL Complete and Accurate RecordsData must be collected for explicit purposes and kept accurate; applied to the processing stack, each component should carry both a name and a version so the record is complete (Data Protection Act 2022, data-quality principle)Scan
SZ-DPA-DOC Dated, Identifiable DocumentationDemonstrating compliance to the Commission requires dated, identifiable documentation of processing systems, satisfied by an SBOM with a document ID and creation timestamp (Data Protection Act 2022, accountability principle)Scan

Policy templates

All 22 from the standard set, adapted to SZ DPA.
