When you activate a framework, DSALTA automatically maps all relevant controls. Each framework area has criteria, and each criterion maps to specific controls. A single control can satisfy requirements across multiple frameworks.

A control shows “Needs Attention” when some evidence exists but is incomplete — a test may have failed, a document is missing, or a policy is not yet approved. Click into the control to see exactly what is needed.

What can auditors see?
What can auditors see?
Auditors view evidence, controls, policies, documents, and test results. They can flag items, accept evidence, and leave comments. They cannot modify compliance data.

What if a test fails during an audit?
A failed test changes the control to “Needs Attention.” Check the test detail for what failed. You can deactivate a non-applicable test — the auditor will see it was intentionally excluded.
