Creating an assessment

Run security assessments against selected datasources to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities, improve configurations, and harden infrastructures.

1. Open the Assessment Builder by clicking Harden > Vulnerability Assessment > Assessment Builder.
2. To work with an existing assessment, click Clone or Edit to open the Security Assessment Builder window. Enter a new description, and modify only the fields that you want to change.
   If you are creating an entirely new assessment, complete all of the following steps.
3. In the Security Assessment Finder window, click New to create a new assessment.
4. Enter a unique name for the assessment in Description.
5. Optionally add an audit process that runs upon completion of the assessment.
   Note: Only audit processes with task types report or external feed can be assigned to a security assessment. You cannot run the audit process for a task that has the Remote Data Source parameter enabled.

9. Click Apply to save the assessment.
10. Add tests to the assessment by clicking Configure Tests.
    1. From the Tests available for addition pane, select the appropriate tab for the datasource you added previously.
