Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API to retrieve compliance types. It is designed to fetch a list of compliance categories or standards that may be relevant for security, regulatory, or organizational policies. This can be useful in scenarios where you need to validate or audit systems against specific compliance requirements.

For example, an organization might use this node to dynamically obtain the latest compliance types supported by their security platform before running compliance checks or generating reports.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID User Id (string) - required header value sent with the request

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved compliance types from the API. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes an array or list of compliance type objects, each describing a compliance standard or category.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the AvantGuard ConnectSecure service.
  • Needs the base URL of the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API configured in the node credentials.
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node for request building.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID header: The node requires the "X USER ID" header to be set. If omitted or incorrect, the API may reject the request.
  • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
  • Network or base URL issues: Verify the base URL is correct and accessible from your n8n instance.
  • Unexpected API responses: Check if the API schema has changed or if there are rate limits affecting the requests.
