GitHub
Branch protection and merge-approval settings across your organisation’s repositories — the SOC 2 CC8.1 / ISO A.8.32 evidence that a change cannot reach production without review. Plain GitHub; no Advanced Security licence required.
What CMDash reads
- Branch protection & merge approvals
Syncs only read from GitHub. Some integrations also support write-back actions on Command and Enterprise plans, such as opening a ticket or deactivating a user.
How you connect
An API key or token you create in the vendor console and enter in CMDash.
Once connected, CMDash syncs it every 4 hours by default. What it finds maps to your controls through rules you install or write.
Where this fits in your frameworks
- SOC 2 Type II — Branch protection & merge approvals feeds Change Management
- SOX ITGC — Branch protection & merge approvals feeds Change Management
This is where GitHub’s data is documented as relevant on our framework pages — not a pre-built, automatic control mapping. You configure which controls it maps to inside CMDash.
