Veckl Documentation
Git-backed security control test case management for connected and disconnected environments.
Veckl gives security and compliance teams a web UI for creating, executing, and reviewing NIST 800-53 control test cases while keeping GitHub or GitHub Enterprise Server as the source of truth.
Test cases are stored as Markdown files with YAML frontmatter. Every change is committed to the configured repository, so history, review, and auditability stay in Git.
