Digital Personal Data Protection Act · Control SC-002 · Priority: critical · Component: Scope & Classification

### What this control covers

Define and document the categories of data principals (individuals, children under 18, persons with disability, guardians). Implement and maintain mechanisms to identify child/disabled data principals and obtain verifiable parental/guardian consent before processing their data. Objective: Ensure only lawful processing of personal data of children and disabled persons, with verifiable consent obtained prior to any processing.

### Why it matters

Risk is the language an executive team understands; this control connects technical reality to board-level decisions and budget allocation.

### How to implement

#### AWS

Codify the policy intent as **SCPs, AWS Config conformance packs, and Security Hub standards** so the cloud enforces what the document says.

#### Azure

Codify in **Azure Policy initiatives** (built-in regulatory compliance for CIS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA) and assign at management-group level.

#### GCP

Use **Cloud KMS** with customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) for BigQuery, GCS, and Compute. **Sensitive Data Protection** (DLP API) inspects/de-identifies PII at scale.

#### Google Workspace

Enable **client-side encryption** for Drive/Docs and turn on **Drive Labels + DLP** rules to prevent external sharing of regulated data classes.

#### On-premises

Maintain a policy library with a documented review cadence (annual minimum); store in your GRC tool with attestation tracking. Map each policy to controls so an audit pull cites the exact policy clause.

### Evidence to collect

-   `policy_document` — A signed, version-controlled policy stating leadership intent and the named owner.

Signed policies, procedures, and registers document the safeguard. Focus: Data Principal Identification & Guardian Consent Management.
