Security Safeguards

Build and demonstrate the reasonable security safeguards Section 8(5) requires.

Overview

Section 8(5) requires every Data Fiduciary to implement reasonable security safeguards. The Minimum Security Safeguards module makes that obligation demonstrable — pulling evidence from your systems into a single auditable view rather than leaving it scattered across tools. The module is being actively evolved with input from security consultants and GRC partners. Integrations with platforms such as Sprinto are under exploration.

Capabilities

What's inside

Encryption Inventory

Automatically builds a comprehensive list of all encryption methods in use — across code and data stores — providing evidence that personal data is protected at rest and in transit.

Access Control Evidence

Collects access logs from connected systems, producing evidence of who accessed personal data, when, and under what authority.

Privileged Access Management

Captures privileged operation audit trails — demonstrating that high-risk access to personal data is monitored and logged. Under active development.

Monitoring & Review Policy

Documents your logging infrastructure, monitoring tools, and review cadence — with an effectiveness metrics summary ready for regulatory review.

Business Continuity Safeguards

Maps personal data handling against CIA safeguards (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) and documents business continuity procedures for systems that process personal data.

Ongoing Code Monitoring

Continuous scanning for new collection points, new cookies, and new personal data forms as your codebase evolves — keeping your security posture current. Under active development.
