Getting Started with Tests
SecureSlate Tests Page
The Tests Page in SecureSlate is your launchpad for kicking off security and compliance checks, paving the way for a smooth audit. Before diving in, connect your tools using our easy in-product setup on the Integrations page. Tests are key to keeping your security on track and audit-ready, so let's get started!

Jumping into Tests
Tests are organized by category, showing who's assigned and their current status.
Two types of tests in SecureSlate
SecureSlate includes two types of tests to help you meet control requirements:
- Platform tests: These are mostly policy tests and automated tests. They validate your security posture through connected integrations (e.g., continuous checks and automated evidence collection).
- Document (evidence) tests: These are for cases where automation isn’t available. You upload evidence manually (screenshots, PDFs, exports, and other supporting artifacts) to satisfy the control requirement.
Connect your integrations first via the Integrations page wizard to unlock the full power of real-time monitoring and automated integration tests.
All tests are properly mapped to specific controls, ensuring comprehensive coverage and a seamless audit process—every test result directly supports your control evidence for auditors.
