- 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).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
GY-DPA-SEC Security of Processing | Controllers and processors must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security and integrity of personal data processing systems (DPA 2023, security-of-processing obligation) | Scan |
GY-DPA-ROPA Records of Processing Activities | Controllers must maintain records of their processing activities, presupposing an inventory of the software components involved (DPA 2023, records-of-processing duty) | Scan |
GY-DPA-PROC Processor Obligations | Processing on behalf of a controller requires binding contracts with sufficient guarantees, so third-party component suppliers must be identified (DPA 2023, processor obligations) | Scan |
GY-DPA-BREACH Breach Notification Readiness | Personal data breaches must be notified to the supervisory authority, requiring the ability to identify exactly which components were affected (DPA 2023, breach-notification duty) | Scan |
GY-DPA-ACC Accuracy Principle | Personal data must be accurate and kept up to date, requiring precise version tracking of the software maintaining it (DPA 2023, accuracy principle) | Scan |
GY-DPA-DOC Accountability Documentation | Controllers must be able to demonstrate compliance through identifiable, timestamped documentation of the processing environment (DPA 2023, accountability principle) | Scan |
