- 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).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
ML-PDPL-SEC Security of Processing | Controllers must take all useful precautions to preserve the security of personal data and prevent its alteration, damage or access by unauthorized third parties, presuming integrity controls over processing software (Law No. 2013-015, security-of-processing obligation) | Scan |
ML-PDPL-DECL Prior Formalities with the APDP | Processing of personal data is subject to prior declaration to, or authorization by, the APDP, which presupposes an inventory of the software systems and components performing the processing (Law No. 2013-015, declaration/authorization regime) | Scan |
ML-PDPL-PROC Processor Oversight | Outsourced processing requires a processor presenting sufficient security and confidentiality guarantees, acting only on the controller's instructions, which requires third-party software suppliers to be identified (Law No. 2013-015, processor-oversight obligation) | Scan |
ML-PDPL-QUAL Data Quality and Maintained Systems | Personal data must be accurate and kept up to date, which for the systems processing it requires knowing component versions so stale or unmaintained software can be identified (Law No. 2013-015, data-quality principle) | Scan |
ML-PDPL-DOC Documented Processing Records | APDP oversight and the declaration regime require dated, identifiable documentation of processing systems, satisfied by an SBOM bearing a document ID and creation timestamp (Law No. 2013-015, accountability to the APDP) | Scan |
