The following guides within this section relate to managing Resources within your Vanta environment. In Vanta, a resource can be anything from a user account, a managed computer, a cloud resource like a compute instance or a storage bucket, a code repository, a vulnerability, and many others! Vanta integrates with many different tools to pull in these resources, which we then run automated tests against to collect evidence for the purposes of the audit. In this section, you'll learn about a few of the workflows supported by the API, such as how to:

  • Scope the resources Vanta ingests, runs tests against, and collects evidence for
  • Assigning ownership and descriptions to individual resources
