How Safeguard covers CT CTDPA
- Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
- Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 9 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for CT CTDPA.
- Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
- Policy templates: 25: 3 written for CT CTDPA 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).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
CT-CTDPA-6-SEC Data Security Safeguards | Controllers must establish, implement and maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical data security practices proportionate to the data processed; integrity-verifiable software is a baseline technical practice (CTDPA, P.A. 22-15 § 6 controller duties) | Scan |
CT-CTDPA-6-MIN Minimisation and Purpose Limitation Accountability | Personal data collection must be limited to what is adequate, relevant and reasonably necessary; a named processing platform with an enumerated component inventory is the evidentiary basis for that limitation (CTDPA, P.A. 22-15 § 6 controller duties) | Scan |
CT-CTDPA-7 Processor Contract Obligations | Processors are bound by contract to follow controller instructions, ensure personnel confidentiality, and impose the same duties on subcontractors; the third-party software chain must therefore be attributable to named suppliers (CTDPA, P.A. 22-15 § 7) | Scan |
CT-CTDPA-8 Data Protection Assessment Readiness | Data protection assessments are required for heightened-risk processing such as targeted advertising, sale, profiling and sensitive data; risk cannot be assessed unless the versions of the processing software are recorded (CTDPA, P.A. 22-15 § 8) | Scan |
CT-CTDPA-4 Consumer Rights Fulfilment | Consumers may access, correct, delete and port their data and opt out of targeted advertising, sale and profiling; fulfilling requests across systems requires those systems' components to be unambiguously identifiable (CTDPA, P.A. 22-15 § 4) | Scan |
CT-CTDPA-NOTICE Privacy Notice Documentation | Controllers must provide a reasonably accessible, clear and meaningful privacy notice covering categories processed and shared; underlying documentation should be identified and timestamped so the notice remains verifiably current (CTDPA privacy-notice provisions) | Scan |
