Framework overlap

Does PCI SSF cover UK GDPR (UK General Data Protection Regulation)?

You hold PCI SSF and have been told to do UK GDPR (UK General Data Protection Regulation). Here is how much overlaps, control by control.

50% of UK GDPR (UK General Data Protection Regulation) you already have

PCI SSF already covers about 50% of UK GDPR (UK General Data Protection Regulation), leaving 3 of 6 controls as genuinely new work.

Already covered 2 Likely covered 1 New work 3

What is genuinely new work

Nothing in PCI SSF reaches these. This is the list to scope.

UKGDPRREG-4
Transfers and DPO (Articles 44-50)
UKGDPRREG-5
Supervisory Authorities (Articles 51-59)
UKGDPRREG-6
Remedies, Liability, Penalties (Articles 77-84)
Show the 3 you already have
UKGDPRREG-1
Subject Matter, Scope, Principles (Articles 1-11)
UKGDPRREG-3
Controller and Processor (Articles 24-43)
UKGDPRREG-2
Data Subject Rights (Articles 12-22)

How this is calculated

Already covered means a mapping runs from a control in PCI SSF 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.
