1.1 Workflow description

Title
Automated compliance control scoring with CyberPulse, GPT-4o & Google Sheets
Workflow name
Automated compliance control scoring with CyberPulse, GPT-4o & Google Sheets

What this template does

Batch-evaluates compliance controls from Google Sheets using the CyberPulse Compliance API. Each control is scored, mapped to selected frameworks, enriched with crosswalk mappings, and summarized with AI-generated findings and recommendations.

How it works

Read from Sheets → Build control text (response_text + implementation_notes) → CyberPulse Compliance (scoring, mapping, AI summary) → Normalize → Append results to Sheets.

Setup (5–10 min)

Add Google Sheets + CyberPulse HTTP Header Auth credentials.

Replace YOUR_SHEET_ID and sheet names.

Provide your Crosswalk JSON URL (raw GitHub or API endpoint) or use this url: https://www.cyberpulsesolutions.com/xw.json

Select frameworks to evaluate against.

Run a small test, then full batch.

CyberPulse API (required for production)

Use hosted scoring/mapping (no local ML code).

Create a CyberPulse HTTP Header Auth credential with API Key.

In the node: paste Crosswalk URL, select frameworks, set credential.

For large sheets, add a short Wait or reduce batch size.

Input columns

control_id

control_description

response_text

implementation_notes

evidence_url_1 … evidence_url_4

Output columns

status

score

confidence

rationale

categories

evidence_count

mapped_count

mapping_flat

frameworks_selected

engine_version

ai_summary

ai_findings (3 per control)

ai_recommendations (3 per control)

Troubleshooting

No rows → check sheet ID and range.

Empty mappings → verify Crosswalk URL.

Write errors → confirm results sheet + permissions.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/9397/9397.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
