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 |
|---|---|---|
MG-PDPL-SEC Security and Confidentiality of Processing | Controllers must take all necessary precautions to preserve the security of personal data and prevent its alteration, damage or access by unauthorised third parties, evidenced by integrity hashes on processing components (Law No. 2014-038, security obligations) | Scan |
MG-PDPL-DECL Declaration of Processing Systems | Automated processing of personal data is subject to declaration or authorisation formalities, which presupposes an inventory of the software systems carrying out the processing (Law No. 2014-038, prior-formalities regime) | Scan |
MG-PDPL-PROC Subcontracted Processing Guarantees | Processing carried out on behalf of a controller must offer sufficient security guarantees under contract, so third-party software components must have named suppliers (Law No. 2014-038, subcontracting provisions) | Scan |
MG-PDPL-ID Identifiable Components | Controlling access to processing systems and investigating unauthorised access requires their components to be uniquely identifiable (Law No. 2014-038, confidentiality and access-control duties) | Scan |
MG-PDPL-DOC Traceable Documentation | Cooperation with the supervisory commission requires software records to be identifiable documents with a creation timestamp (Law No. 2014-038, supervisory cooperation duties) | Scan |
