How Safeguard covers DORA

  • Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 13 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for DORA.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 26: 4 written for DORA 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).
