Controlling Scope through Jamf Pro

Vanta’s Jamf integration enables you to control which computers and accounts should be automatically marked in and out of scope in Vanta by creating and managing Vanta groups within Jamf.

 

  • Log in to Jamf Pro and click Settings in the left sidebar
  • Navigate to Network > Sites.
  • Create a site that will be used to scope accounts and computers in and out of Vanta by clicking the New button on the top right corner. The name needs to start with Vanta followed by any text, i.e. Vanta Employees.
  • Assign the group in Vanta to the desired accounts and computers. For more detailed instructions, visit the Jamf Pro product documentation.

 

Enable the feature in Vanta

  • Navigate to Integrations.
  • Under your connected integrations, find MDM > Jamf Pro.
  • Click Configure scope

  • Enable the MDM scoping toggle next to Control scope with Jamf

  • Select the group(s) you want to scope computers and accounts with. Then, click Publish changes.

  • Once Jamf scoping is enabled, all account and computer scope will be managed through Jamf, and the scope toggles for each account and computer will be disabled. Vanta will update the scope status for MDM accounts and computers of the following data fetch, which happens hourly.
