Scope questions

Industry alone does not establish legal applicability. Confirm location, activities, role, data and relevant thresholds.

  • Where does the organization operate, and which regulator, license, permit or contract governs the activity?
  • Which business activities, data types and organization roles does the document describe?
  • Do the relevant thresholds or exceptions change which requirements apply?

Unknown answers stay unresolved. Document detection does not answer these questions for you.

A fictional example to explore

This short policy outline demonstrates the document's structure and research questions. It is a navigation example; scans for this profile are not available yet.

PDF pages are counted exactly. DOCX and TXT use the disclosed word-count estimate, so the same policy can have different billable page counts.

Regulations and frameworks to explore

These are research candidates for this profile. Confirm the exact organization and activity before concluding that a rule applies.

Directive (EU) 2022/2555 · Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690

EU General Data Protection Regulation

Regulation (EU) 2016/679

Check EU establishment, offering goods/services to or monitoring people in the EU, and the controller/processor role. A cloud, MSP or security provider may be a processor with contract and security duties. EU data-subject location alone does not establish every territorial-scope condition; verify Articles 3 and 28 and relevant national rules.

Jurisdictions: EU-EEA

Research applicability questions
  • Does processing occur in the context of an EU establishment’s activities?
  • Does the organization offer goods/services to people in the EU or monitor their behavior there?
  • Do you determine the purposes and means of processing personal data, or process it on a customer’s documented instructions?
  • Where are the relevant people located for the processing activity, and which Article 3 scope condition is met?

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0

Voluntary cybersecurity risk-management framework for organizations of any size or sector. Customer contracts may request alignment; it is not a law or a certification. Map the selected profile and desired outcomes; do not score optional framework alignment as a legal violation.

Jurisdictions: GLOBAL

Research applicability questions
  • Has your organization or a customer selected a NIST CSF profile or outcomes to evaluate?
  • Does a customer contract, regulator or internal policy require a particular CSF profile or outcome set?
