01

Substantially the rights and obligations of EU GDPR.

ICO-specific guidance on age-appropriate design, AI, and biometrics.

03

International transfers per ICO's IDTA or UK Addendum to EU SCCs.

ICO IDTA and UK Addendum template management.

Evidence we produce

Artifacts your auditor accepts.

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

Related frameworks

These frameworks share substantial control overlap with UK GDPR. Customers running one assessment typically satisfy the others with the same evidence base.
