Frameworks
Safeguard's automated tests read Deel 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 | CC1.3, CC2.1, CC6.2 | 1 |
| ISO/IEC 27001 | Automated tests | A.5.16 | 1 |
| HIPAA Security Rule | Automated tests | 164.308(a)(3) | 1 |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | Automated tests | GV.RR-04, PR.AA-01 | 1 |
These tests are switched on per workspace by the Safeguard team.
