    Overview

    Running, scheduling, and exporting analysis evaluates your configured sources against defined risk posture rules to update their statuses (Low/No Risk, High Risk, Unable to Verify). This keeps the posture up to date, highlights misconfigurations that need attention, and provides time-stamped evidence for reporting and audits without requiring manual verification.

    This page details how you can run and schedule analysis.

    Steps to run a risk analysis

    You can manually run an analysis at any time to view the updated risk posture results.
