Screenata

Changelog

What we ship, every week.

Screenata moves fast. Here's a running log of the new features, integrations, and improvements we release across SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001, updated weekly.

Latest · 18 updates

New

  • An organization chart built from your People roster, with editable reporting lines, a read-only view in Employee Center, and a PDF you can generate from Key Documents for audit evidence

  • Auditors have an Audits home listing their assigned audits across workspaces, with workspace and lifecycle filters
  • Endpoint anti-malware coverage checks for Microsoft Intune, JumpCloud, and Kandji

Improved

  • Home brings Chat and Dashboard together, with charts for readiness, control approvals, risks, audit cycles, and task workloads
  • The Baseline questionnaire asks fewer questions, focusing on values your organization needs to supply, such as review frequency and what your device policy allows
  • Preview detected cloud service usage before applying it, and save service scope changes as you make them
  • Asset inventory opens on in-scope assets, with bulk actions to include or exclude assets from an audit
  • Auditors can see each connected account's service scope and inspect device screen-lock posture
  • A person's assets and access are grouped into category tabs

Fixed

Week of · 20 updates

New

  • Vera's risk assessment proposes an editable remediation plan and lets you create a linked task from the proposal, with several mitigating tests linked to a risk when relevant
  • Link tasks to risks from either the task or the risk
  • Generate a test's built-in evidence report directly from its test page
  • Record device wipes and destruction, then generate a disposal log that flags retired or reassigned devices with missing wipe records
  • Generate environment separation evidence from your cloud inventory, using account environment declarations and tag mappings
  • Key Documents includes an upload-only penetration test report
  • Trust Center subprocessors link to their own trust centers

Improved

  • Controls explain why they matter and what usually proves them, and group their tests by evidence type
  • Recommended evidence shows whether a document needs to be generated, finished, approved, or prepared, with a direct action to open it
  • Move between tests in the Controls side pane without returning to the list, and follow the control code back to its place in the tree
  • Key Documents can be filtered by preparation state, status, and framework
  • Browser screenshot capture asks which page to start on and remembers your choice

Week of · 21 updates

New

  • Dark mode across the whole app, switched on from Theme in the account menu
  • Vera reviews a test's evidence automatically whenever files or linked documents are added or removed, and scores each submission once
  • A review score that changes now says why it moved: the evidence changed, the requirement changed, or Vera re-assessed the same evidence
  • Onboarding and Program settings ask the open scope questions, such as whether your product uses AI or you have a board, as yes/no answers, and each answer turns the related tests on or off
  • Download Markdown evidence, including generated reports, as a PDF from the test page or any evidence preview
  • Auditors can review by requirement as well as by control, and they only see tests inside the audit's framework and criteria
  • A read-only Vendors page in the auditor view, with the review details for each vendor in the audit
  • The auditor Controls export maps every requirement to the controls and tests that answer it

Improved

  • New programs start on Baseline without a depth question in onboarding, and Enterprise is still available in Program settings
  • Re-running a review on unchanged evidence returns the same score, with an option to re-assess anyway
  • Evidence actions sit as buttons above the evidence list, and attaching files and linking documents share one dialog
  • Vendor assessments show trust center links for vendors discovered under another name, such as Amazon Web Services for AWS
  • Screenshot capture stamps carry your organization's name

Fixed

  • A check with no in-scope resources no longer shows as passing, and check results agree across health, history, and auditor views
  • Auditors see only approved policies for the audit's framework, and a control no longer looks reviewed when only some of its tests are
  • GitHub connections recover from expired tokens, and removing a repository removes only that repository
  • Microsoft 365 connections keep the permissions they were granted when they refresh
  • Reactivating a deferred test sticks
  • The Controls tree respects your active filters, and control details show the control code
  • Submitting or cancelling a recording takes you back to Controls
  • The Controls page loads quickly again on large workspaces

Week of · 23 updates

New

  • Controls is one tree of categories, controls, and tests, and a test opens in a side pane next to it, so you can work through a control without losing your place
  • A Key Documents tab lists the documents your frameworks require or recommend with the status of each, and one Submit for review sends a document to every test it supports
  • Documents keep a version history, and a version used in an audit is frozen, so the file your auditor reviewed cannot be changed or deleted
  • Fix failing tests from your coding agent with the Screenata CLI, which shows why a test fails, runs a fix only after you approve its exact plan, and re-runs the test to prove it passes
  • Answer policy questions and draft a policy from the terminal
  • Every automated check has its own run history and live results
  • Include or exclude specific resources for one check, leaving every other check's scope as it was
  • Manage connected AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud accounts from one settings dialog, and change an AWS region without re-entering keys
  • Auditors can open past automated check runs, with the resources each run covered and its downloads
  • An unread-only filter in the inbox

Improved

  • A broken integration shows at the top of the daily briefing, runs that error out no longer open findings, and one failed sign-in no longer takes a connection offline
  • GitHub and Microsoft 365 show Approval needed when their permissions change, and a check that cannot run says why instead of failing
  • An auditor's approval is tied to the exact evidence version they reviewed, with a review history for each version and the signed evidence manifest alongside it
  • Count chips filter Controls by status, test rows show who owns each test, and search shows which tests matched
  • Overdue task reminders and SLA breach alerts arrive as batched digests
  • GitHub connections are listed by repository, and Intune is switched on or off from the Microsoft 365 Services tab
  • Regenerating an approved or imported policy asks you to confirm first

Fixed

  • Invited users who sign in with Google land in the organization that invited them instead of a new one
  • The Microsoft 365 check for guest Conditional Access coverage now passes when your policies cover guests
  • The tests-by-requirement export leaves out criteria your program excludes
  • Auditors see the same evidence the Test page shows, including files in read-only snapshots
  • A test sent back for changes counts as To do rather than Failing
  • The workspace sidebar stays visible on narrow screens

Week of · 18 updates

New

  • Screenata now works out which cloud services you actually run — across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare — and asks you to confirm the list during setup, so checks are scoped to the services in use rather than every service the provider sells
  • Wider native coverage inside each cloud: more AWS services, deeper Azure service discovery, and Cloudflare account, DNS, and TLS checks
  • Every step in the Setup guide can be skipped, not just the ones marked optional, so a step that does not apply to you stops holding up the chapter it sits in
  • Bulk actions on test lists
  • Linked risks show their risk code, so a risk referenced from a control is identifiable without opening it
  • Search-or-create boxes create what you typed when you press Enter, with a hint showing that they will

Improved

  • Native checks are more accurate across several providers — Azure management MFA coverage is scoped correctly, security contact checks match the current provider API, owner notification roles are validated, and the security and monitoring checks are hardened
  • The AI review is told what Screenata already holds, so it stops asking for evidence that is already in the vault
  • Procedure evidence rolls up by period
  • Scope proposals read as defer or activate, rather than presenting themselves as a new test

Fixed

  • Eight elective controls were marked required and no longer are
  • The Audit chapter of the Setup guide is reachable, and specific to the cycle you are in
  • Cloud service selections are preserved and restored instead of resetting between visits
  • Sessions stay in step between the web app and the browser extension when you sign in or out
  • Evidence lifecycle state agrees between generated evidence and what the interface shows
  • Daily briefing details render in the inbox
  • Recording no longer captures navigation that happened while it was paused
  • Grouped unread counts stay consistent

Week of · 30 updates

New

  • Single sign-on for your organization — SAML and OIDC, with guided setup for your identity provider, while password and social sign-in stay available alongside it
  • A Setup guide that owns the whole audit process, not just onboarding — eleven chapters from connecting systems through the audit, each saying what the auditor is looking for, with skipped steps struck through and restorable, and a link to exactly where each step happens
  • A machine-readable Trust Center API — every Trust Center is also a versioned JSON API, so a customer’s vendor management can pull your documents, controls, subprocessors, and a signed attestation straight into their intake instead of asking over email
  • Revoke a Trust Center access grant at any time, and the access link is shown on approval with a copy button, so it never depends on an email arriving
  • Vendor risk scored from impact and likelihood, with an assessment workbench that shows where every fact came from — a document, a trust page, or a person — and lets you edit it
  • A relational people graph for assets — who holds which device, a custody history when it changes hands, and a default accountable owner for every asset, with licenses folded into the People tab
  • Comments and full editor toolbars on policy documents and recordings, plus review notes you can reply to, resolve, and export, in read mode too
  • Start an empty policy by uploading yours or generating it with Vera, and generation waits until the questionnaire it depends on is answered
  • Bulk actions on resources, including marking them out of scope — scoped-out resources are skipped at collection time and their findings dispositioned, so they stop generating noise
  • Key documents on the auditor dashboard, resolved to the tests behind them with each one’s review status
  • Recording submissions attach to the test they evidence

Improved

  • Test lists show automated rollup progress, and rollups include a representative check’s evidence so you can see what passed, not just that it did
  • Requirement rollups are labelled apart from automated checks, and a linked test’s status is clearer
  • A test’s verdict respects the exceptions on it, reminders go out before an exception expires, and SLAs are no longer raised for tests marked not applicable
  • Audit readiness covers more of the program, and new native checks landed across integrations
  • Questionnaire answers are verified against live scans rather than a stored snapshot
  • Policy acknowledgment reports use one canonical format
  • Compliance roles can be held by more than one person
  • Chat accepts attachment-only messages

Fixed

  • Audit package downloads survive navigating away mid-generation
  • Policy editor autosave no longer loses work, and Edit and Request Approval are hidden while a policy is still generating
  • A policy whose generation job was lost can be recovered, and questionnaire answers are committed before regenerating or closing
  • The scoped policy upload dialog binds the file you chose and drops the redundant slot list
  • Review note actions and policy comment interactions no longer misfire
  • GitHub branch protection remediation is hardened against partial configurations
  • Dashboard and inbox indicators show the right counts
  • Long finding titles stay contained in the dismiss dialog, and formatting is preserved in color popovers
  • The Setup guide no longer offers Start setup on workspaces that already have tests
  • New workspaces reach the onboarding questions exactly once, and those answers scope the test plan, so a SOC 2 program no longer starts with every non-Security control out of scope
  • The Inbox stat card is gone from the auditor cycle dashboard

Week of · 33 updates

New

  • The activity log shows the reasoning behind a verdict, not just the verdict itself
  • Tests say whether their evidence is a policy, an automated check, or something a person has to capture, so it is clear what each one needs from you
  • An MDM enrollment report showing which devices are enrolled and which are not
  • Open Attest device rosters sync nightly and carry a freshness deadline, so stale device data is flagged rather than assumed current
  • Open Attest now counts as anti-malware evidence, and the different Defender products are told apart properly
  • Not-applicable tests are hidden by default, with one checkbox to bring them back and lighter badges on every row

Improved

  • Failed evidence reviews keep their five-axis score and are marked advisory, so you can see exactly where the evidence fell short
  • Annual training tests use the training records already in Screenata instead of asking you to upload them again
  • The training program schedule can be edited after it is set
  • Comment and mention emails link straight back to the test they came from
  • SLA warnings arrive batched instead of one message per item
  • Azure onboarding scans are scoped by subscription, so a multi-subscription tenant is covered properly
  • Every evidence route is a link from the empty state, so it is obvious how to supply what is missing
  • Scan coverage is reported as its own finding, so a gap in what was scanned shows up instead of passing quietly

Fixed

  • Rollup periods no longer park waiting on approval — evidence is scored and the period moves on
  • Partial review scores are kept instead of being lost on the next pass
  • A failing rollup shows the window it actually examined instead of a dash
  • Passed rollups still require approval before they count
  • Submitting evidence clears the escalation attached to it
  • Recording actions stay reachable, hidden steps no longer drift, and progress is restored for guidance-only tests
  • Edited recording screenshots submit as evidence, and hidden video is left out of what gets submitted
  • Confirmed fields stay editable during onboarding, and discovered company logos are checked before they are shown
  • GitHub repository security verdicts resolve instead of hanging unresolved
  • Framework cards count tests the same way the framework page does
  • Requirement citations are scoped to the framework you are looking at

  • Leaving a test view shows one consistent loading state
  • Bulk edit on people resets properly between uses
  • Risk exports from Vera use the standard CSV format
  • Slack no longer runs admin checks its API does not support, so those stop showing as failures

  • Decide an auditor's proposed change straight from your inbox, without opening the request
  • Auditors can see the run history behind an automated check: when it last ran and what it returned

  • Choose Baseline or Enterprise-ready program depth during onboarding, with the recommended option and the reason for it shown before setup runs
  • Filter your tests by program depth, and see the depth badge on any test, so it's clear why a test is or isn't in your program
