Requirement
Taking into account the nature, scope, context, purposes and risks of processing, the controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures — including, where proportionate, data protection policies — to ensure and be able to demonstrate compliance, and review and update them where necessary.
What the engine looks for
Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.
