Connect with an API token
-
In Hetzner:
- In the Hetzner Console, open the project and select Security in the left menu bar.
- Click API tokens in the upper menu bar.
- Choose Generate API token.
- Enter a description and select the Read permission (GET requests only).
- Copy the token now; it is not possible to view it again once the window has been closed.
Hetzner shows the secret only once, so copy it before you leave the page.

Frameworks
Safeguard's automated tests read Hetzner and map to the controls below. When a test passes, the result is evidence toward each control it maps to, in every framework listed. It is evidence toward a control, not proof that the control is met on its own.
