Framework overlap

Does Azure Security Benchmark cover PDPA Thailand?

You hold Azure Security Benchmark and have been told to do PDPA Thailand. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

75% of PDPA Thailand you already have

Azure Security Benchmark already covers about 75% of PDPA Thailand, leaving 2 of 8 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 5 Likely covered 1 New work 2

What is genuinely new work

Nothing in Azure Security Benchmark reaches these. This is the list to scope.

PDPATH-1
Scope, Extra-Territorial Application, Lawful Basis, and Notice
PDPATH-2
Consent Requirements and Special Consent for Sensitive Data
Show the 6 you already have
PDPATH-3
Data Subject Rights, Automated Decisions, Accuracy
PDPATH-4

PDPATH-5

PDPATH-7
DPO, Records of Processing, Retention, Marketing, Training
PDPATH-8

PDPATH-6
Cross-Border Transfer and Processor Engagement

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in Azure Security Benchmark to that control. Likely covered means no direct mapping exists but both frameworks map to the same control in a third standard. New work means neither. We keep those separate rather than adding them into one friendlier number, because blending them would present a two-hop inference as a verified fact.

Coverage is not symmetric. Run it the other way and you will get a different number; both are correct.

From 332,959 cross-framework control mappings across 723 frameworks, 531 of them verified against their source documents. It does not tell you that you are compliant: a mapped control means the two standards ask for the same thing, not that you have done it.
