How Safeguard covers SN PDPL
- 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).
| Requirement | What Safeguard checks | Decided by |
|---|---|---|
SN-PDPL-70 Security Obligation | The controller must take every useful precaution, given the nature of the data and the risks of processing, to preserve data security and prevent alteration, damage or unauthorised access, evidenced by integrity hashes on processing components (Law No. 2008-12, Art. 70 security obligation) | Scan |
SN-PDPL-DECL Declaration of Processing | Processing of personal data requires prior declaration to or authorisation by the CDP, which presupposes an inventory of the software systems performing the processing (Law No. 2008-12, prior-formalities regime) | Scan |
SN-PDPL-PROC Subcontractor Guarantees | Data processing entrusted to a subcontractor must be governed by contract and offer sufficient guarantees of security, so third-party software components must have named suppliers (Law No. 2008-12, subcontracting provisions) | Scan |
SN-PDPL-CONF Confidentiality and Access Control | Only authorised persons may access personal data, which requires the components of processing systems to be uniquely identifiable so access paths can be controlled and audited (Law No. 2008-12, confidentiality obligations) | Scan |
SN-PDPL-DOC Traceable Documentation | Demonstrating conformity to the CDP requires software records to be identifiable, timestamped documents (Law No. 2008-12, supervisory cooperation duties) | Scan |
