Connect with an API token
-
In Railway:
- In Railway, open the tokens page in your account settings (https://railway.com/account/tokens).
- In the workspace dropdown, select the workspace Safeguard should read, so the token is scoped to that workspace (not No workspace, which creates an account token).
- Create the token and copy it.
Railway's public documentation does not cover every step.
A workspace token has access to all of the workspace's resources; Railway issues no read-only token. The docs checked do not name the create button or say whether the token is shown only once, and do not say where the dashboard shows the Workspace ID.

The permissions Safeguard needs:
workspace token. Railway issues no read-only credential. Safeguard only reads with it, and you can revoke it at any time. -
On Compliance › Connectors, open Railway, click Connect, choose API token and fill in:
Field What to enter API token Required. Stored encrypted and never shown again. Workspace ID Required. -
Click Connect with token.
Frameworks
Safeguard's automated tests read Railway 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.
| Framework | Evidence | Controls | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOC2 | Automated tests | CC6.1, CC6.2, CC6.3 | 4 |
| ISO/IEC 27001 | Automated tests | A.5.16, A.5.18, A.6.5, A.8.2, A.8.5 | 4 |
| HIPAA Security Rule | Automated tests | 164.308(a)(3), 164.308(a)(4), 164.312(d) | 4 |
| PCI DSS | Automated tests | 7.2.2, 7.2.4, 8.2.5, 8.4.2 | 4 |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | Automated tests | PR.AA-01, PR.AA-03, PR.AA-05 | 4 |
These tests are switched on per workspace by the Safeguard team.
