Once you have connected your environments to the OneClickComply platform, the next step you will need to take will be to chose which compliance standards you would like to work towards. You can do this within the Standards area of the platform.

Note: If you had connect an environment prior to the recent UI changes, please ensure that you enable your desired standards, as this is not done automatically.

Changing Standard Status

When you are on the Standards page, you will see all of the compliance standards that are available to you, as determined by your subscription level with us. You will also see your current compliance with the standards shown in percentage form. For example, if you are fully aligned with a standard, this will show as 100%.

Note: The following example will be on the Complete package, meaning that all currently supported standards are available. If you cannot see a standard, please check your subscription level, or contact a member of support.

Let's have a look at an example page:

Let's look at the first standard, Cyber Essentials. Its status is currently set to Opt-Out (as shown by the red label) which means that your business is not currently working towards this particular standard. Due to this, the OneClickComply platform will not show you any information or controls related to Cyber Essentials.

To change this, click Edit Status. This will open a side-window, allowing you to set the standard as one of three different statuses. These are:

Active - This tells the platform that you are working towards this standard, and will prompt it to scan your connected environments for gaps or misconfigurations inline with that security standard.
Paused - This tells the platform that you want to put your efforts on hold, saving your current progress towards a standard, allowing you to pick it up again later down the line.
Opt-Out - This tells the platform that you no longer want to work towards that standard. This will remove everything related to the standard from your account, such as evidence of implemented controls and completed tasks. This should only be selected if you are certain that you will not be looking to achieve the standard later in the future.

Setting a Standard as Active

Once you set a standard as Active, the platform will begin scanning your connected environments for gaps and misconfigurations related to the standard. The platform will then generate a list of controls and associated tasks that you will need to complete in order to remedy any identified issues.

To view these controls, click the Controls button next to the Edit Status button.
