Linking and unlinking proof

Roles and permissions

The following roles can link and unlink proof from a control:

  • Administrators

  • Compliance managers with manager permissions on the control

  • Users with manager permissions on the control

  • Note that neither managers nor contributors can unlink Hypersync-generated proof unless they created the Hypersync

Proof comes in the form of files, documents, screenshots, meeting notes, pull requests, member lists, and so on. Linking proof to a control ensures that the control’s requirements are being met. Additionally, linking proof directly to a control ensures that your proof is organized, which makes the audit process easier for both you and the auditor.

Tip

For additional information, see the Control proof video at the bottom of the page.

Unlinking proof from a control

Unlinking proof from a control removes the proof from the control, but doesn’t delete the proof from your organization. When you unlink proof, you can still view it at the organizational level.

  1. From the left menu, select Controls.

  2. Select the control with the proof you want to unlink.

  3. Select the Proof tab.

    Tip

    Click the Filter icon in the upper-right corner to filter results based on who owns the proof, who uploaded the proof, and/or when the proof was uploaded.
