What it requires

What NDPA actually requires.

These are the obligations a regulated entity owes — the things an assessor or supervisor will ask about.

01

Lawful basis for processing.

02

Data Protection Compliance Organisations (DPCOs) for assessments.

03

Breach notification to NDPC.

How Safeguard maps to it

Pre-mapped controls. Continuous evidence.

Each requirement above is bound to live telemetry — not screenshots. The mapping below is what your auditor or regulator sees.

Evidence we produce

Artifacts your auditor accepts.

Each evidence artifact is signed and timestamped. Auditors can verify integrity without trusting Safeguard.
