What a scan checks
Each scan of a product checks these 5 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
KZ-PDPL-SEC Protection of Personal Data | Owners and operators must take organizational and technical measures protecting personal data against unlawful access, alteration and destruction; component integrity hashes evidence tamper protection (Law 94-V data-protection obligations) | Scan |
KZ-PDPL-INV Database and System Inventory | Duties attach to databases containing personal data and the systems operating them, which presupposes an inventory of the software components those systems comprise (Law 94-V owner/operator obligations) | Scan |
KZ-PDPL-THIRD Third-Party Processing Accountability | Transfer of processing to third persons does not relieve the owner or operator of protection duties, requiring visibility into the suppliers behind the software used for processing (Law 94-V third-party provisions) | Scan |
KZ-PDPL-VER Currency of Protection Systems | Protection measures must remain effective against current threats, which requires knowing the exact versions of deployed components so weaknesses can be assessed and remediated (Law 94-V ongoing-protection duty) | Scan |
KZ-PDPL-DOC Documented Protection Measures | Owners and operators must be able to demonstrate the measures adopted for data protection, supported by a formally identified, timestamped record of the software in use (Law 94-V accountability duties) | Scan |
