The one with faster evidence collection & shiny new reports

✨ New Assessment Reports  

What makes a great report? We think reports should be clear and concise (that’s kinda the point), relevant, and super actionable (think a to-do list on steroids). 

Our new Assessment Reports hit all three marks, and they look fabulous too, which makes you actually want to read them.  

Here’s what’s new: 

• Understand your compliance status at a glance: Get summary-level data on the status of each control for a particular framework and take action without getting lost in the details. 
• Spot main gaps: Quickly see where you’re gapped and prioritize the most pressing controls you need to meet. 
• Get remediation advice: Get an overview of your recommendations to fulfill unmet and partially met controls. 

Learn more about this feature here and shoot us a note at customer support@apptega.com if you have any questions or need assistance with reports.  

🔗 AWS Security Hub Integration 

Gathering evidence for cloud security controls in AWS typically involves accessing 10+ systems, analyzing numerous logs, decrypting obscure AWS terminology, and taking screenshots (the ultimate proof). 

But you're likely not getting paid to play detective in a digital jungle, so we’ve just launched a one-click integration with AWS Security Hub integration to help with that. 

It allows you to: 

• Automate Evidence Collection: Our connector auto-completes cloud security controls every hour, pulling evidence directly from your AWS environment. Au revoir, manual work! 
• Cross-Map Controls: The integration works at the control level, updating scores for multiple frameworks (PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, etc.) that share controls. 
• Get Reliable, Real-Time Scoring: Manual evidence can be outdated and easily manipulated. Get accurate information from your cloud environment to ensure continuous security and compliance. 
• See AI-Powered Insights: Our LLM translates Security Hub jargon into concise summaries with key findings, control significance, and non-compliance implications, so you understand what’s going on.  

Want to see it in action? Just ask your Partner Success Manager to grant you access or shoot us an email at customer-success@apptega.com.

We may need to sook at 'sub-control count' to provide a better metric.

@richard.moormann Thank you for bringing this up, I've brought it up to our Product Team to see the inaccuracy you mentioned earlier and revisit the 'sub-control count.'
