## How DSALTA automates this

**112** of DSALTA's automated checks contribute evidence to this framework, drawn from **13** integrations. Browse them in the [Compliance Tests](/tests/overview) catalog. They are linked through the controls each check satisfies, so a single check usually contributes to several frameworks at once — the count is not a list of checks unique to this one.
