Weekly roundup — provider-specific remediation steps, richer test detail view, and cleaner test result statuses
Here’s what shipped this week.

Updates

Provider-specific remediation steps

Every compliance test now includes step-by-step remediation instructions tailored to the specific cloud provider. Instead of generic guidance, you’ll see exact console paths and settings — for example, where to create a CloudWatch alarm in AWS, how to configure an alert rule in Azure Monitor, or where to set up a monitoring policy in GCP. This makes it faster to fix failing tests without leaving DSALTA.Browse any test from the Integrations section — for example, AWS DynamoDB latency should be monitored or Azure Defender should be enabled.

Test metadata and framework mapping in the app

Test detail pages in DSALTA now display key metadata — including Test ID, SLA, responsible role, and sync frequency — directly in the platform. Compliance framework mappings for each test are also visible in the test detail view, so you can see which frameworks a test covers without switching to the docs.View any test from Data Library → Tests or from an integration’s test list.

Cleaner test result statuses

Test results now show clearer status indicators — Passing, Failing, and Not configured — with direct action items for each state. Failing tests link straight to remediation steps, and SLA deadlines are managed dynamically in the platform rather than as fixed values.

Weekly roundup — test remediation guides, redesigned integration pages, and streamlined integrations overview
Here’s what shipped this week.

New features

Remediation guides on every compliance test

Every automated compliance test now includes a step-by-step remediation guide. When a test fails, you’ll see exactly why it matters, what DSALTA checked, how to fix it, and which compliance frameworks it covers. Each test page also includes an FAQ section covering sync frequency, failure notifications, exclusions, and read-only access.Browse any test from the Integrations section — for example, AWS CloudTrail should be enabled or Code scanning alerts should be resolved.

Updates

Redesigned integration pages

All integration landing pages now include expanded data collection details, key use cases, improved authentication guidance, and clearer post-connection expectations. You’ll see exactly what data DSALTA collects, how it’s used, and how long the initial sync takes.See any integration page — for example, Amazon Web Services (AWS) or GitHub.

Streamlined integrations overview

The Integrations overview page has been simplified with tighter descriptions and a cleaner data module mapping table, making it faster to understand what each integration provides.

Supabase integration removed

The Supabase integration has been removed from the platform. If you were using it, your data has already been synced and existing evidence is unaffected.

Weekly roundup — GitHub security scanning tests, GitLab compliance tests, control detail enhancements, and integration settings shortcut
Here’s what shipped this week.

New features

GitHub security scanning tests

DSALTA now includes automated compliance tests for GitHub’s built-in security features. Three new tests verify that code scanning alerts, secret scanning alerts, and Dependabot vulnerability alerts are resolved within SLA. Each test runs automatically when GitHub is connected and flags unresolved findings so your team can remediate before auditors ask.See test details for code scanning, secret scanning, and Dependabot SLA.

GitLab compliance tests

Seven new automated tests now cover GitLab environments. DSALTA checks that group-level MFA is enforced, branch protection rules apply to admins, peer review is required before merging, CI status checks must pass, code repositories are classified, and offboarded users have their access removed. These tests run continuously once GitLab is connected.See all GitLab tests in the GitLab integration page.

Updates

Control detail enhancements

The Control Detail drawer now shows richer metadata at a glance — including control ID, source, owner, review frequency, and current status. Evidence completion logic is clearer: a control is marked Completed only when all mapped policies, documents, and tests show a green checkmark. If anything is missing, it shows Needs Attention.Explore any control from Controls or Control Detail.

Integration settings shortcut

You can now manage your connected integrations directly from Settings → Integrations without navigating to the main Integrations page. This mirrors the full integration management experience for faster access when you’re already in Settings.Manage integrations from Settings → Integrations or the main Integrations page.

Policy detail improvements

The Policy Detail page now displays a unique policy ID, formal approval workflows with timestamps, and a controls mapping section that shows exactly which compliance controls each policy satisfies. Add or remove control mappings directly from the detail view, and use the comments section to collaborate with your team and auditors.Open any policy from Policies or Policy Detail.

Weekly roundup — change management tracking, per-test documentation, vendor questionnaire templates, risk approval workflow, and document SLAs
Here’s what shipped this week.

New features

Change management tracking

DSALTA now automatically tracks change requests from connected project management and code repository integrations. GitHub Issues, Asana tasks, Linear tickets, and Trello cards feed a dedicated Changes module — giving you a complete audit trail of change request tickets, assignees, resolution status, and timelines. Automated tests verify that a ticketing system is configured, tickets have assignees, and change requests are resolved within 30 days.See how integrations feed the Changes module in the Integrations overview.

Incident lifecycle tracking

Security incidents from monitoring tools like Datadog and Grafana are now tracked end-to-end in DSALTA. Incidents flow into a dedicated module with lifecycle status, so auditors can verify that reported incidents are investigated and closed. Automated tests check that incidents in GuardDuty, Microsoft Defender, and Security Command Center are resolved.Connect a monitoring integration from Settings → Integrations.

Per-test documentation

Every automated compliance test now has its own documentation page with the test ID, what it checks, which integration it runs against, the responsible security role, and the SLA for remediation. Browse test docs directly from the Integrations section — for example, AWS CloudTrail should be enabled or Branch protection should be enabled on repositories.

Updates

Vendor questionnaire templates

When sending a security questionnaire to a vendor, you can now choose from pre-built templates — including GDPR Assessment, Cybersecurity Review, PCI DSS Compliance, and Risk Assessment — so you don’t have to write questions from scratch. Select a template, set a deadline, and send.Send a questionnaire from the Vendor Questionnaires page.

Risk approval workflow

Risk assessments in the Risk Register now support a formal approval step. After setting likelihood, impact, and treatment plan, click Approve to lock in the assessment with a timestamp and approver name — creating a clear audit trail for your risk management process.Manage risks in the Risk Register.

Document SLAs

Every compliance document now has an automatically assigned SLA — typically 7 to 30 days depending on the document type. Due dates appear in the document list so your team can prioritize evidence collection and avoid falling behind on audit deadlines.View document deadlines in Documents.

Code review evidence

DSALTA now pulls pull request history, peer review status, and CI/CD check results from connected code repositories like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. This proves code review compliance — including that the author and reviewer are different people — and feeds directly into your framework evidence.Connect a code repository from Settings → Integrations.
