GitHub
The GitHub integration in the Softwares module allows Socify to connect with your GitHub account to enable automated evidence collection and continuous compliance monitoring for development-related controls.
This integration focuses on validating code management practices, access governance, and security-related workflows mapped to SOC 2.
Accessing the GitHub Integration
Navigate to Integrations → Softwares from the left-hand navigation.
Under the Available tab, locate GitHub.
Click View details on the GitHub card.
This opens the GitHub integration details panel.
GitHub Integration Details View (Before Connection)
When the GitHub details panel is opened before connecting, the following elements are visible:
Integration name: GitHub
Category: Development
Connect button
Mapped Checks section
A count of total mapped checks
This view allows users to understand what evidence and controls will be monitored once GitHub is connected.
Connecting GitHub
To connect GitHub to Socify:
From the GitHub details panel, click Connect.
Create a token with repo and read:user permissions.
Enter a GitHub Personal Access Token in the provided input field.
Click Connect to complete the setup.
A helper link is provided in the UI to guide users on how to create a GitHub access token.
GitHub Integration Status (After Connection)
Once the connection is successful, the GitHub details panel updates to show:
Status: Connected
Account Information, including:
Account ID
Connected At (date)
A Sync Now button
This confirms that GitHub is actively integrated with Socify.
Syncing GitHub Data
Automatic Sync
After connection, Socify automatically syncs GitHub data at regular intervals to keep evidence up to date.
Manual Sync
Users can click Sync Now to immediately trigger a data refresh.
This is useful when recent changes (such as repository updates or security fixes) need to be reflected immediately.
Managing the GitHub Integration
The integration remains listed under Softwares.
Users can return to the GitHub details panel at any time using View details.
The connection status remains visible.
Manual syncing can be triggered as needed.
No disconnect or edit actions are shown in the provided screenshots, so those actions are not documented here.
Summary
The GitHub integration enables Socify to automatically monitor development and security practices by connecting directly to GitHub. Once connected, Socify continuously evaluates mapped checks and generates evidence aligned with compliance controls, reducing manual effort and improving audit readiness.
This integration provides real-time visibility into development governance while ensuring secure handling of access credentials.
