Frameworks
Safeguard's automated tests read VMware 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 | A1.2, CC6.1, CC7.2 | 6 |
| ISO/IEC 27001 | Automated tests | A.5.17, A.8.9, A.8.13, A.8.15 | 6 |
| HIPAA Security Rule | Automated tests | 164.308(a)(5), 164.308(a)(7), 164.312(a)(1), 164.312(b) | 6 |
| PCI DSS | Automated tests | 2.2.1, 8.2.6, 10.2.1, 12.10.1 | 6 |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | Automated tests | DE.CM-09, PR.AA-01, PR.DS-11, PR.PS-01 | 6 |
These tests are switched on per workspace by the Safeguard team.
