Tests verify that your compliance controls are operating effectively. DSALTA supports two types of tests: system tests (automated) and manual tests.

​
Test types

System Tests (Automated)

Run automatically against your connected integrations. For example, verifying MFA is enabled, encryption is active, or access reviews are current.

Manual Tests

Require a team member to verify and upload evidence. Used for controls that cannot be automated.

​
How automated tests work

When you connect an integration (e.g., AWS, GitHub, Google Workspace), DSALTA automatically runs relevant tests against that system. Tests typically execute once per week, pulling data and evaluating results against your control requirements.
If a test fails, the related control’s status changes to “Needs Attention.” Check the Test Detail page for specifics on what failed and how to remediate.

​
Deactivating tests

Some tests may not be applicable to your environment. Click the three-dot menu on any test to deactivate it. Deactivated tests will not affect your control status or audit readiness, and the auditor will see that the test was intentionally excluded.
