Getting Started with Integrations

Overview

Integrations allow Adoptech to securely connect to systems you already use, such as cloud platforms, identity providers, device management tools, security solutions and development platforms.

By connecting these systems, Adoptech can automatically collect evidence, perform compliance checks and provide visibility into the controls operating across your organisation.

This reduces the amount of manual evidence gathering required for audits and helps you maintain an up-to-date view of your compliance posture.

Why Connect Integrations?

Many compliance frameworks require organisations to demonstrate that controls are operating effectively. Traditionally, this involves manually collecting screenshots, exporting reports and gathering evidence from multiple systems.

Adoptech integrations automate this process by collecting information directly from connected platforms.

Benefits include:

• Automated evidence collection
• Reduced audit preparation time
• Continuous compliance monitoring
• Improved visibility of security controls
• Reduced manual administration
• Faster identification of compliance gaps

What Types of Integrations Are Available?

Adoptech supports integrations across several categories, including:

Cloud Infrastructure

Examples:

• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Microsoft Azure
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

These integrations help monitor cloud security configurations, asset inventories and infrastructure controls.

Identity & Access Management

Examples:

• Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
• AWS IAM
• Google Workspace

These integrations provide evidence relating to user accounts, access permissions and identity management controls.

Device Management

Examples:

• Microsoft Intune
• CyberSmart Active Protect

These integrations help monitor device compliance, encryption, endpoint protection and configuration management controls.

Security & Monitoring

Examples:

• AWS GuardDuty
• Microsoft Defender

These integrations provide evidence relating to threat detection, vulnerability management and security monitoring activities.

Development & Change Management

Examples:

• GitHub
• GitLab
• Jira

These integrations help support secure development and change management requirements.

How Integrations Work

Most integrations follow a similar process:

1. Connect Adoptech to the external platform
2. Grant read-only access to the required data
3. Adoptech retrieves relevant compliance information
4. Controls, Checks and Tests are automatically updated
5. Evidence is stored within the platform

Many integrations operate on a scheduled basis and automatically synchronise new information throughout the day.

Is My Data Secure?

Yes.

Adoptech integrations are designed using the principle of least privilege wherever possible.

Most integrations:

• Use read-only access
• Do not modify your systems
• Do not change configurations
• Do not create, edit or delete data
• Only retrieve information required for compliance monitoring

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Specific permissions required for each integration are detailed in the individual integration guides.

How Do I Connect an Integration?

3. Browse or search for the integration you wish to connect.
4. Click Get Started or Connect.
5. Follow the setup instructions provided.
