What happens when you connect GitLab

Connect with read-only access
Add a read-only role, OAuth scope or API token for GitLab. The credential is encrypted at rest.
Discover assets
CATAAM pulls the accounts, users, repositories or devices it finds into one asset inventory.
Run 6 automated checks
Every check runs against your real configuration, then keeps running on a schedule.
Map results to 9 controls
Each result lands on the controls it proves — and counts for every framework that shares them.
Store evidence and raise issues
Passing checks become audit evidence. Failures show up for the control owner and can open a Jira issue.
