Connect with an API token
-
In Capsule:
- In Capsule, go to My Preferences › API Authentication Tokens.
- Generate a new token.
- Copy the token and paste it into Access token.
Capsule's public documentation does not cover every step.
Capsule's docs give the page location but not the button label, whether a personal token can be limited to a scope (the read, read write and read_user_preference scopes are documented for OAuth 2), or whether the token is shown only once. Create it as a user who can see all users.

Field What to enter Access token Required. Stored encrypted and never shown again. -
Click Connect with token.
Frameworks
Safeguard's automated tests read Capsule and map to the controls below. When a test passes, the result is evidence toward each control it maps to, in every framework listed. It is evidence toward a control, not proof that the control is met on its own.
| Framework | Evidence | Controls | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOC2 | Automated tests | CC6.2, CC6.3 | 2 |
| ISO/IEC 27001 | Automated tests | A.5.16, A.5.18, A.6.5 | 2 |
| HIPAA Security Rule | Automated tests | 164.308(a)(3), 164.308(a)(4) | 2 |
| PCI DSS | Automated tests | 7.2.4, 8.2.5 | 2 |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | Automated tests | PR.AA-01, PR.AA-05 | 2 |
These tests are switched on per workspace by the Safeguard team.
