How Safeguard covers ISO 20000

  • Scan requirements: 5, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 12 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for ISO 20000.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 25: 3 written for ISO 20000 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 5 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
ISO20000-CM-INV Configuration Item RecordsConfiguration information for services must be recorded, meaning the software components (CIs) that make up a service are inventoried (ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, configuration management requirements)Scan
ISO20000-CM-VER CI Version InformationConfiguration item records must be accurate enough to support service management decisions, which requires the version of each software CI (ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, configuration management requirements)Scan
ISO20000-8.3.4 Supplier ManagementExternal suppliers contributing to services must be identified and managed under documented agreements, presupposing known suppliers for the components used (ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 §8.3.4, Supplier management)Scan
ISO20000-8.5.1 Change Management PrecisionChanges must be assessed for impact before deployment, which is only feasible when component versions are specific rather than vague ranges (ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 §8.5.1, Change management)Scan
ISO20000-INFOSEC Information Security of ServicesInformation security controls must protect services, supported by the ability to verify the integrity of deployed software components (ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, information security management requirements)Scan
