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.

Automated Vanta Agent Install with MDM
