Creatio Benchmarks

How do you know your Creatio is set up right?

Creatio shows you every setting it has. It never tells you what those settings should be. A benchmark does. It is a checklist. Each check names one thing that should be true about your setup, and tells you how to test it. So “is this set up right?” gets a real answer instead of a guess.

There are three of them. Each one asks a simple question.

  1. Is it safe?

    Who can see, change and delete things — and can you prove it?
    Security Benchmark CSB 30 checks v0.5.0 Draft
  2. Is it built right?

    Does what you built really work the way you think it does?
    Implementation Benchmark CIB 11 checks v0.1.0 Draft
  3. Is it ready to go?

    Can you turn it on, keep it running, and get it back when it breaks?
    Release Readiness Benchmark CRB 10 checks v0.2.0 Draft

Open a list and each check is called a control. That is the name you cite it by.

How we write them

Every check follows the same three rules.

We say what, not how

Every check says what should be true about your setup. It never names a tool, not even ours. You can do all of them by hand, and so can anybody else.

One thing per check

If a check asks about two things that could pass or fail on their own, we split it into two. A check that asks two things at once cannot give you one clear answer.

“We could not check” is a real answer

A check passes, fails, or says we could not look. We never call something passed when the proof was missing. A report that hides what it could not see is worse than no report.

Ask us to check

Want us to run these on your Creatio?

We read your setup and answer every check: what passed, what failed, and what we could not look at, with the reason why. You get the report. We do not publish it anywhere.

No newsletter. We reply to the address you give us.

Every check lists the Creatio versions we tested it against. When Creatio ships a new one, we test them all again.
