Frameworks and controls

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.
Audit readiness is the ratio of controls with complete evidence to total controls in your active framework. A control is “complete” when all required policies, documents, and tests are satisfied.

Policies

Yes. DSALTA uses AI to generate policies tailored to your company and activated frameworks. Customize any policy before approving. Every change is version-tracked.
Policies are created on an annual cycle. When renewal is due, the policy owner is notified to review, update, and re-approve.

Audits

Go to Compliance → Audits → New Audit. Select the framework, assign an owner, and invite your auditor via email.
Auditors view evidence, controls, policies, documents, and test results. They can flag items, accept evidence, and leave comments. They cannot modify compliance data.
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.
