The Computers page serves as an overview of the computers that are being monitored by your company with the help of the Vanta agent or a supported MDM (mobile device manager).

Computers with the Vanta Agent Installed

Once the Vanta Agent has been installed on your employee's computers, a list will populate. Each row includes information about each of your employee's 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 means the asset does not have that security protocol met.

• Owner: The owner of the asset
• Monitoring: What is monitoring this asset?
• OS: What OS is the asset running on?
• PW: Does this asset use a password manager?
• HD: Is the hard drive encrypted?
• AV: Is an anti-virus installed?
• SL: Is screen lock enabled? (Does the device lock after inactivity)
• Last Check: When was the last time this asset was scanned by the agent or MDM

Reassigning or Removing a Computer

• Select a specific name from the list
• From the Computers tab, scroll to the bottom and choose:
  • Reassign owner: Chose a new user to have ownership over the asset
  • Remove computer: Removing a computer is permanent. Once removed, to have the laptop reappear, the user will need to reinstall the Vanta Agent.
