## View controls associated with a specific standard

From the **Standards Catalog**, click on the Controls link on the tile corresponding to a specific standard to view the list of all the controls that are part of the standard,

All of the columns are sortable and filterable. By default, the table is sorted numerically by the control index number.

You can search for specific controls using the filter. For example, you can search for all custom controls with the filter **`Created by != Palo Alto`**

The following information is provided for each control:

* **Name**: The control name, including the control index number if available. For example, **`2.1.1 Client certificate authentication`**
* **Description**: A description of the control. For example, **`Kubernetes provides the option to use client certificates for user authentication.`**
* **Standards**: The standards the control is associated with. For example, **`CIS Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Benchmark v1.6.0`**
* **Category**: The control category, including the category index if available. For example, **`2 Control Plane Configuration`**
* **Subcategory**: The control sub category if available, including the sub category index if available. For example, **`2.1 Authentication and Authorization`**
* **Rules**: The number of rules associated with the control.
* **Creation time**: When the control was created.
* **Created by**: Who created the control. For built-in controls, it is **`Palo Alto Networks`**.

Clicking a control opens a side panel that displays all the control details in the **Overview** tab, and the list of rules associated with the control in the **Rules** tab.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/cloud-security/monitor-and-track-compliance-adherence/choose-compliance-standards-from-the-compliance-catalog/standards-catalog.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
