Framework overlap

Does Bahrain PDPL cover OpenSSF Scorecard?

You hold Bahrain PDPL and have been told to do OpenSSF Scorecard. Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

75% of OpenSSF Scorecard you already have

Bahrain PDPL already covers about 75% of OpenSSF Scorecard, leaving 2 of 8 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 2 Likely covered 4 New work 2

What is genuinely new work

Nothing in Bahrain PDPL reaches these. This is the list to scope.

OSSFSC-4
Security Policy, Vulnerability Disclosure, Responsible Reporting
OSSFSC-5
Static Analysis, Fuzzing, Testing Coverage
Show the 6 you already have
OSSFSC-3
Build, CI/CD Security, Workflow Permissions, Dangerous Patterns
OSSFSC-6
Signed Releases, Provenance, Trusted Publishing, Binary Artifacts
OSSFSC-1
Branch Protection, Code Review, and Repository Governance
OSSFSC-2
Dependency Management, Pinning, Updates, Vulnerability Tracking
OSSFSC-7
Webhook Authentication, Contributors Diversity, Aggregate Score
OSSFSC-8
Project Maintenance, Sustainability, Integration with Supply Chain Security

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in Bahrain PDPL 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.
