Connect with an API token
-
In Workable:
- In Workable, open the drop-down menu on the top right of your screen and select Integrations.
- Click Generate new token.
- In the form that appears, specify only the scopes Safeguard needs. Do not add r_employees, which Workable says grants access to confidential employee data, or any write scopes.
- Copy the token now; it is displayed only a single time.
Where to find the other values:
- Subdomain: The company profile settings page shows your account subdomain (the part before .workable.com).
Workable shows the secret only once, so copy it before you leave the page.
Workable's public documentation does not cover every step.

On Compliance › Connectors, open Workable, click Connect, choose API token and fill in:
Field What to enter Subdomain Required. The part before .workable.com in your address. Access token Required. Stored encrypted and never shown again. -
Click Connect with token.
Frameworks
Safeguard's automated tests read Workable 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.
