Connect with an API token
-
In Greenhouse:
- In Greenhouse, open API Credentials.
- Click Create new API credentials and select Harvest V3 (OAuth).
- Save the credential, then configure only the scopes Safeguard needs to list users.
- Copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
- Exchange them for an access token with a server-side POST to https://auth.greenhouse.io/token using HTTP Basic authentication and grant_type=client_credentials, then paste the access token into Safeguard.
Greenhouse's public documentation does not cover every step.

Frameworks
Safeguard's automated tests read Greenhouse 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 | CC6.2, CC6.3 | 3 |
| ISO/IEC 27001 | Automated tests | A.5.16, A.5.18, A.6.5, A.8.2 | 3 |
| HIPAA Security Rule | Automated tests | 164.308(a)(3), 164.308(a)(4) | 3 |
| PCI DSS | Automated tests | 7.2.2, 7.2.4, 8.2.5 | 3 |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | Automated tests | PR.AA-01, PR.AA-05 | 3 |
These tests are switched on per workspace by the Safeguard team.
