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).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
LS-DPA-SEC Security Measures for Integrity of Data | A data controller must secure the integrity of personal information against loss, damage, unauthorized destruction and unlawful access, presuming integrity verification of the software that processes it (Data Protection Act 2011, Part III security-measures principle) | Scan |
LS-DPA-NOT Notification with Description of Security Measures | Controllers must notify the Commission of processing, including a general description of security measures, which presupposes an enumerated inventory of the processing systems and their components (Data Protection Act 2011, notification obligation) | Scan |
LS-DPA-CTRL Identified, Accountable Controller | The notification must state the name and address of the controller, so processing documentation should record who created and is accountable for the system description (Data Protection Act 2011, notification obligation) | Scan |
LS-DPA-QUAL Data Quality Principle | Information must be complete, accurate and not misleading; applied to the processing stack this requires each component to carry both a name and a version (Data Protection Act 2011, Part III data-quality principle) | Scan |
LS-DPA-DOC Dated, Identifiable Processing Records | Commission oversight of notified processing requires dated and identifiable documentation of the systems involved, satisfied by an SBOM with a document ID and creation timestamp (Data Protection Act 2011, accountability to the Commission) | Scan |
Policy templates
