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
