SCF Common Controls and Evidence Management
13 min
this connector facilitates the management of security controls and evidence by providing access to the secure controls framework data the scf common controls and evidence management connector streamlines compliance processes by integrating with the secure controls framework (scf), a comprehensive catalog of controls and evidence management practices it enables users to obtain the latest scf data, manage controls, and handle evidence within their security environment, either by using a user uploaded scf excel file or fetching the official scf file based on the specified version this integration facilitates the alignment of security measures with various frameworks and standards, ensuring a robust compliance posture and simplifying evidence collection for audits within the swimlane turbine platform limitations this connector has been verified on turbine 25 0 2 & scf version 2024 3 & 2024 4 supported versions version 2024 4 represents a minor update, based on new and changed controls the scf had a minor formatting change that changed bullet listings to numbered listings configuration prerequisites to effectively use the scf common controls and evidence management connector, ensure you have the following configuration for scf version with these parameters version specify the version of the scf you wish to use selected frameworks choose the frameworks from scf relevant to your organization verify ssl certificates determine whether to enforce ssl certificate verification authentication methods scf configuration management authentication configure & set scf version with these parameters version specify the version of the scf you wish to use selected frameworks choose the frameworks from the scf that are relevant to your organization verify ssl certificates determine whether to enforce ssl certificate verification for secure communication use file set to true to use the user uploaded excel file; set to false to fetch the official scf file based on the specified version capabilities this connector provides the following capabilities get scf data get scf common controls data action connects to one of the following sources a user uploaded scf excel file if use file is set to true (you must upload the file) otherwise, connects to the scf github repository at https //github com/securecontrolsframework/securecontrolsframework/releases or;
