How Safeguard covers EC LOPDP

  • 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
EC-LOPDP-37 Personal Data Security MeasuresControllers and processors must implement technical, organisational and legal measures ensuring integrity, confidentiality and availability of personal data, evidenced by integrity hashes on processing-system components (LOPDP 2021, Art. 37 data-security obligations)Scan
EC-LOPDP-BRN Security Breach Notification ReadinessSecurity breaches affecting personal data must be notified to the Superintendence and affected data subjects within short statutory deadlines, which requires components to be immediately identifiable (LOPDP 2021, breach-notification provisions, Arts. 43-46 range)Scan
EC-LOPDP-REC Accountability and Processing RecordsThe accountability (responsabilidad proactiva) principle requires controllers to document and demonstrate their processing, which presupposes an inventory of the software systems involved (LOPDP 2021, accountability principle and record duties)Scan
EC-LOPDP-PROC Processor (Encargado) OversightProcessing by an encargado must occur under a binding contract with sufficient guarantees, so third-party software components must carry named suppliers (LOPDP 2021, controller-processor provisions)Scan
EC-LOPDP-VER Known Software VersionsRisk-based security and breach-impact analysis require exact versions of software components to be recorded (LOPDP 2021, risk-analysis and security-measure duties)Scan
EC-LOPDP-DOC Demonstrable DocumentationDemonstrating compliance to the Superintendence requires software records to be identifiable, timestamped documents with a recorded creator (LOPDP 2021, compliance-demonstration duties)Scan

Policy templates

All 22 from the standard set, adapted to EC LOPDP.
