Checks that DigitalOcean infrastructure is properly configured and secure.

​
Why This Matters

This configuration gap may expose your environment to security risks, compliance violations, or operational issues. Addressing it promptly ensures your systems meet industry best practices and compliance framework requirements.

​
What DSALTA Checks

DSALTA connects to your DigitalOcean environment using read-only API access and evaluates this configuration on every sync cycle. The test result appears in your Data Library → Tests dashboard:
  • Passing — The configuration meets requirements. No action needed.
  • Failing — The configuration does not meet requirements. Follow the remediation steps below.
  • Not configured — The integration is connected but the required service or feature has not been set up yet.
This test runs automatically every 24 hours. If you fix the underlying issue, DSALTA will detect the change on the next sync cycle and update the status to Passing. You can also trigger a manual sync from Settings → Integrations → DigitalOcean.

​
How to Fix

If this test is failing, follow these steps to remediate:
  1. Sign in to the DigitalOcean Control Panel.
  2. Review your Droplets — ensure firewalls are enabled and SSH key authentication is required.
  3. Review Cloud Firewalls — ensure inbound rules restrict access to only necessary ports and IP ranges.
  4. Review Databases — ensure they are in private networks and not publicly accessible.
  5. Review Spaces (object storage) — verify public access is disabled where not needed.
  6. In DSALTA, verify all DigitalOcean resources appear in your Inventory with proper classification.
  7. Once properly configured, DSALTA will update the test status to Passing.

Frequently Asked Questions

This test runs automatically every 24 hours when the DigitalOcean integration is connected. You can trigger a manual sync at any time from the integration settings page.
A failing test generates an alert in your DSALTA dashboard. The assigned responsible role receives a notification. Remediate the issue before it affects your compliance posture.
Yes. If this test does not apply to your environment, you can mark it as Not Applicable with a justification. This exclusion is documented for auditors.
No. DSALTA uses read-only API access and never modifies, creates, or deletes resources in your environment. Remediation actions must be performed by your team directly in DigitalOcean.
