Checks that DigitalOcean infrastructure is properly configured and secure.

​
About

When you connect DigitalOcean to DSALTA, the platform evaluates this control on every sync using read-only API access. If the requirement is not met, DSALTA activates this check.

​
Why This Matters

Addressing this check ensures your environment meets the security baseline expected by SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other compliance frameworks, and reduces the risk of misconfiguration, unauthorized access, or data loss.

​
How to Fix

Before you begin
  • Ensure you have administrator access to DigitalOcean.
Remediate the configuration
  1. Review the failing configuration in your DigitalOcean console.
  2. Apply the recommended setting to bring the resource into compliance.
  3. Verify the change is active in the resource configuration.
Once the configuration is updated, DSALTA retrieves the change on the next sync and sets the check status to Passing.

Frequently Asked Questions

A failing check appears in your Data Library → Tests dashboard. Work through the steps above; once the underlying configuration is fixed, the status updates automatically on the next sync.
Yes. If it does not apply to your environment, mark it as Not Applicable with a justification. The exclusion is documented for auditors.
No. DSALTA uses read-only API access and never modifies, creates, or deletes resources. All remediation is performed by your team directly in DigitalOcean.
