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 |
|---|---|---|
TZ-CYBER-4 Defense Against Illegal Access | The Act criminalizes unauthorized access to computer systems; defending against and prosecuting such access requires organizations to precisely identify the software assets (PURL/CPE) that make up their systems (Cybercrimes Act 2015, s. 4) | Scan |
TZ-CYBER-7 Detection of Illegal Data Interference | Unlawful damaging, deletion, alteration or suppression of computer data is an offence; detecting and evidencing such interference requires integrity hashes for the components of the system (Cybercrimes Act 2015, s. 7) | Scan |
TZ-CYBER-9 System Interference Resilience | Serious hindering of a computer system's functioning is an offence; maintaining and restoring system integrity requires known versions for the software components in use (Cybercrimes Act 2015, s. 9) | Scan |
TZ-CYBER-CII Critical Information Infrastructure Protection | The Act provides for the protection of critical information infrastructure, which presupposes that each protected system is named and its constituent components enumerated (Cybercrimes Act 2015, critical-information-infrastructure provisions) | Scan |
TZ-CYBER-SP Service Provider Accountability | The Act defines liabilities and duties of service providers whose systems carry or host data, requiring the third-party suppliers of system software to be identified (Cybercrimes Act 2015, service-provider liability provisions) | Scan |
