ComplAI integration overview
Synack integrates with ComplAI to support Propel Ready Solutions's GRC program. Crowdsourced security testing with continuous assessment. This guide covers product context, the recommended connection process, prerequisites, and verification steps for audit-ready evidence collection.
Last updated: 2026-06-24
GRC evidence available
- Open findings by severity
- Scan coverage and frequency
- Remediation SLA compliance
- Penetration test summaries
- Crowd pentest metrics and configuration evidence
- SmartScan metrics and configuration evidence
Prerequisites
- Named integration owner and backup contact at Propel Ready Solutions
- Change request approved per Propel Ready Solutions change management policy
- Network egress allowlisting completed if required by vendor
- ComplAI organization administrator access
- Admin or integration-builder role in Synack
- Synack product documentation reviewed (see Documentation topics below)
Integration process
Step 1
Plan Synack integration scope
Confirm which Crowd pentest and SmartScan capabilities will be connected first. Start with read-only ingestion before enabling write actions.
Step 2
Define assessment scope
Document in-scope assets, environments (prod/staging), and testing windows approved by change management.
Step 3
Connect scanner or PT platform API
Integrate vulnerability or pentest platform to pull findings, severity, CVSS, and remediation status into ComplAI.
- Use read-only API tokens scoped to relevant business units
- Configure finding severity thresholds for risk register auto-ticket rules
- Exclude credentials from scan configs stored in ComplAI
Step 4
Set remediation SLAs
Map critical/high/medium findings to remediation timelines per your Vulnerability Management Policy.
Step 5
Export evidence for audits
Schedule monthly exports of scan coverage, mean-time-to-remediate, and open critical findings.
Step 6
Mark integration complete in ComplAI
Update integration status to Connected, attach configuration evidence, and link mapped controls in the Controls library.
GRC benefits
- Vulnerability scan results and remediation SLAs for risk treatment
- Penetration test evidence for external assessment requirements
- Continuous exposure management aligned to ISO 27001 risk treatment (Clause 6)
Related controls
Verification checklist
- ☐Integration credentials stored securely and rotation scheduled
- ☐Test sync completed successfully with sample records
- ☐Error alerting configured for failed sync or API rate limits
- ☐Control mappings documented in ComplAI
- ☐Evidence sample exported and reviewed by control owner
- ☐Runbook link attached to related controls
Troubleshooting
Authentication or API permission errors
Verify API scopes, token expiry, and service account status in the vendor admin console. Regenerate credentials if needed.
Partial or stale data in ComplAI
Check sync schedule, pagination limits, and filter rules. Run a full reconciliation sync after correcting configuration.
Network connectivity failures
Confirm firewall egress rules, proxy settings, and IP allowlists on both sides of the integration.
