How Safeguard covers BB 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
BB-DPA-SEC Security of ProcessingControllers and processors must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure processing, including integrity of processing systems (DPA 2019, GDPR Art. 32-style security-of-processing obligation)Scan
BB-DPA-ROPA Records of Processing ActivitiesControllers must maintain records of processing activities, which presupposes an inventory of the software components involved in processing (DPA 2019, records-of-processing duty)Scan
BB-DPA-PROC Processor ObligationsProcessing on behalf of a controller requires binding contracts and sufficient guarantees, so third-party component suppliers must be identified (DPA 2019, processor-contract obligation)Scan

BB-DPA-ACC Accuracy PrinciplePersonal data must be accurate and kept up to date, requiring precise version tracking of the software maintaining it (DPA 2019, accuracy principle)Scan
BB-DPA-DOC Accountability DocumentationThe controller must be able to demonstrate compliance, met by an identifiable, timestamped machine-readable record of the processing environment (DPA 2019, accountability principle)Scan
