Manage Initiatives

Required User Role: Administrator

Initiatives help track specific findings and their remediation progress for the child containers in Tenable MSSP Portal.

You can create initiatives in the Tenable MSSP Portal for one or more child containers and apply specific filter queries.

Setting SLAs allow you to measure the remediation progress of the findings for that child container.

Note: You can create a maximum of ten initiatives.

Create an Initiative

To create a new initiative:

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Exposure Response.

    The Exposure Response page appears.

  2. In the upper-left corner, click New.

    The Create New Initiative page appears.

  3. In the Name box, type a name for the initiative. Tenable MSSP Portal adds -MSSP as a suffix to the name.

  4. In the Description box, type a description for the initiative.

  5. In the Accounts drop-down box, select one or more account groups or accounts to include in this initiative.

    Note: If you add or remove accounts from an account group, Tenable MSSP Portal includes or excludes the relevant accounts from the initiatives associated with that account group.

  6. In the Remediated Within box, type the number of days within which all findings must be remediated. You can set an SLA between 1 and 90.

  7. In the Query box, select the required filters to detect specific findings.

  8. Click Save.

    Tenable MSSP Portal creates the initiative and it appears on the left pane of the Exposure Response page.
