This roadmap scales across use cases and maturity levels, guiding you from initial platform activation through measurable risk reduction.

The Eight Phases of Adoption

This guide is broken into eight conceptual phases. Tenable recommends you approach them in order, as each phase builds the foundation for the next.

• Phase 1: Platform Initialization — Establish a secure, functional, and accessible Tenable One environment.

• Phase 2: Component Deployment — Connect your data sources to Tenable One.

• Phase 3: Data Normalization and Asset Hygiene — Create a clean and accurate asset inventory.

• Phase 4: Policy and Risk Context Configuration — Configure tailored exposure views.

• Phase 5: Workflow and Integration Enablement — Set up automated workflows with third-party integrations.

• Phase 6: Validation and Tuning — Achieve trustworthy and actionable vulnerability intelligence.

• Phase 7: Operationalize— Create repeatable operations that meet your exposure management needs.

• Phase 8: Optimization and Maturity — Optimize your exposure platform and achieve measurable risk reduction.

Before You Begin

This execution-phase roadmap assumes that your organization's initial planning, governance, and scoping are already complete. It also assumes your Tenable One access has been granted (one administrator has access at minimum) and you are ready to deploy and operationalize the platform.
