How Safeguard covers TN TIPA

  • Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 8 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for TN TIPA.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 24: 2 written for TN TIPA 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
TN-TIPA-SEC Data Security PracticesControllers must establish, implement and maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical data security practices appropriate to the volume and nature of personal information; integrity-verifiable processing software evidences those practices (Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-3201 et seq., controller-duties provision)Scan
TN-TIPA-NIST NIST Privacy Framework Program EvidenceTIPA's affirmative defense rewards a documented, repeatable privacy program reasonably conforming to the NIST Privacy Framework; machine-readable, standardised documentation of processing systems (SPDX/CycloneDX) is characteristic of such a program (Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-3201 et seq., NIST-conformance affirmative defense)Scan
TN-TIPA-INV Processing InventoryBoth the minimisation duty and NIST Privacy Framework's Identify function require knowing what systems and software process personal information; an enumerated component inventory is the baseline artifact (Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-3201 et seq., read with NIST PF Identify-P)Scan
TN-TIPA-PROC Processor ObligationsProcessing on a controller's behalf must be governed by binding contracts with flow-down to subcontractors; the supplier behind each third-party component should be named to demonstrate oversight (Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-3201 et seq., processor provisions)Scan
TN-TIPA-DPIA Data Protection Assessment ReadinessData protection assessments are required for targeted advertising, sale, risky profiling and sensitive data; assessing risk requires the versions of the software involved to be recorded (Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-3201 et seq., data protection assessment provisions)Scan
TN-TIPA-RIGHTS Consumer Rights FulfilmentConsumers may confirm processing, access, correct, delete and port personal information and opt out of targeted advertising, sale and profiling; fulfilling requests requires unambiguous identification of the components holding the data (Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-3201 et seq., consumer-rights provisions)Scan
