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 · 16 updates

New

  • ISO 27001 readiness tracking — cover the ISMS clauses and the Annex A themes a certification body samples
  • Requirement-level control mapping — every control is labeled by the framework requirement it satisfies, with coverage gaps shown per period
  • Custom evidence requirements — define the exact evidence a control needs, and tests scope themselves to what you asked for
  • Sentence-level policy comments — highlight a single sentence and comment on it instead of the whole section
  • Reusable questionnaire answers — saved answers carry forward as durable commitments, written as prose instead of stitched-together claims
  • Control status in plain words — read each control's state from the row itself instead of decoding a colored dot
  • Employee account linking — connect the accounts Screenata finds in your integrations to the right employee profile

Improved

  • Review notifications open inline in your inbox, with a direct link to the test in question
  • Guided setup tracks Slack and Trust Center as their own steps, and no longer opens on sample data

  • Vendor discovery pulls candidates from every connected integration, not just a handful

Fixed

  • HIPAA tests are no longer judged against SOC 2 criteria you never selected
  • ISO 27001 audit cycles load and stay editable instead of failing on an unrecognized audit type
