How Safeguard covers CPPA

  • Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 10 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for CPPA.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 24: 2 written for CPPA and 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
CA-CPPA-57 Security SafeguardsOrganisations must protect personal information through physical, organisational and technological safeguards proportionate to its sensitivity, which for processing software includes verifiable integrity of components (CPPA s. 57, Bill C-27)Scan
CA-CPPA-58 Breach of Security Safeguards ReportingBreaches of security safeguards creating a real risk of significant harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals, requiring the ability to identify exactly which components were compromised (CPPA s. 58, Bill C-27)Scan
CA-CPPA-9 Privacy Management ProgramOrganisations must implement and document a privacy management program covering the protection of personal information, supported by identifiable, timestamped documentation of processing systems (CPPA s. 9, Bill C-27)Scan
CA-CPPA-11 Service Provider Protection EquivalenceWhen transferring personal information to a service provider, the organisation must ensure substantially equivalent protection, which extends to knowing who supplies the software components in the processing chain (CPPA s. 11, Bill C-27)Scan
CA-CPPA-OPEN Openness and TransparencyOrganisations must make information about their policies and practices readily available in plain language, a transparency posture served by machine-readable, standardised documentation of processing systems (CPPA openness and transparency provisions, Bill C-27)Scan
CA-CPPA-KNOW Accountability for Information Under ControlAn organisation is accountable for personal information under its control, which presumes maintained knowledge of the systems and components that store and process it (CPPA accountability provisions, Bill C-27)Scan
