How Safeguard covers LS DPA

  • Scan requirements: 5, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 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
LS-DPA-SEC Security Measures for Integrity of DataA 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 MeasuresControllers 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 ControllerThe 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 PrincipleInformation 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 RecordsCommission 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
