The Computers page serves as an overview of the computers that your company is monitoring with the help of the Vanta Device Monitor or a supported MDM (mobile device manager).
Computers with the Vanta Device Monitor Installed
Once the Vanta Device Monitor has been installed on your employee's computers, a list will populate. Each row includes information about each of your employees' computers. Each user will have a check mark or an X for each security measure column.
Accessing the Computers Page
Select Computers from the left-hand navigation panel
From here, you will find a list of assets being monitored and tracked within Vanta
Clicking a specific User name will show you additional information related to the person, such as their onboarding status, what access they have, offboarding status, and computer information
Column Information
A green check indicates that the asset's security protocol has been met. An X indicates that the asset does not meet that security protocol.

Automated Vanta Device Monitor Install with MDM
