Setup

Install the Aurora Evidence Capture Extension

Capture audit-ready screenshots directly from the systems you use every day and attach them to the controls and requirements they support without leaving your browser. You choose what to capture, and nothing uploads until you confirm.

How it works

Install, Connect, and Capture

Get set up in under five minutes, from install to your first captured artifact.

01
Install the extension in Chrome (or your managed browser)
Use the Chrome Web Store when available, or install from ZIP in restricted environments.
02
Sign in to Aurora Command
Make sure you're in the correct workspace before capturing.
03
Navigate to the system you need evidence from
Go to the exact page that demonstrates the control.
04
Capture the artifact and add a short note
Capture only what you intend to share, and add a note describing what it demonstrates.
05
Link it to the control(s) it supports
Attach captures to the right controls and set freshness expectations where appropriate.

Two ways to install

Choose the Path That Fits Your Environment

Web Store for most teams, manual ZIP for restricted environments.

Option A: Chrome Web Store
Recommended when the Chrome Web Store is available.
  1. Open the extension page.
  2. Click “Add to Chrome”.
  3. When prompted, click “Add extension”.
Chrome Web Store Link Unavailable
This deployment doesn't have a Chrome Web Store listing configured. Use the ZIP install option below.
Option B: Manual Install (ZIP File)
Use for offline or development environments.
  1. Download the ZIP file.
  2. Open chrome://extensions and enable “Developer mode”.
  3. Extract the ZIP file and click “Load unpacked”.
The extension only captures what you choose. Nothing is uploaded until you confirm.
Connect It
  1. Return to Evidence Capture in Aurora Command.
  2. Click “Connect Extension”.
  3. Approve the pairing prompt in Chrome.
The extension sends captured evidence to the Aurora workspace you are already signed into, so uploads land in the right place automatically.
One Installer, Personal Sessions

Everyone installs the same extension, then signs in with their own Aurora Command session.

That keeps each capture attributable and sends evidence to the right workspace without extra routing work.

Troubleshooting

If you do not see the capture banner, return to Aurora Command and refresh the page.

Manual installations require Developer mode to be enabled in Chrome.

If your administrator enforces Chrome policies, installation may require an approved extension list.

Security & permissions

What the Extension Can and Cannot Do

The Aurora Evidence Capture extension requests only three permissions: activeTab to capture the current page, storage to hold evidence locally until you confirm upload, and identity to connect to your Aurora Command session. It cannot access browsing history, read other tabs, or modify page content. For detailed security documentation, request Trust Center access.

Common questions

Before and After You Install

Quick answers to the questions security and compliance teams ask most.

Does the extension upload automatically?
No. The extension only captures what you choose, and nothing uploads until you confirm.
Does it stay tied to my organization?
Yes. Pairing happens from your signed-in portal session so evidence is uploaded to the correct organization.
What if the Chrome Web Store is blocked in our environment?
Use the manual ZIP install path. It works for offline environments, restricted Chrome policy setups, and teams that need administrator-managed deployment.
