Use Tenable.io As a Review-Ready Evidence Source

Pull evidence from Tenable.io, preserve source and collection history, and map the output directly to the controls reviewers ask about. Aurora automates recurring collection where the connector supports it and keeps export-based handoffs clean where it does not.

Setup

Setup

A short path from connection to an exportable evidence bundle.

01
Connect Tenable.io
Sign-in method: API key. Read-only, least-privilege access.
02
Confirm Evidence Sources and Cadence
Confirm evidence sources and set cadence (every 6 hours).
03
Validate Capture (Read-Only Where Possible)
Validate evidence capture in read-only mode (where possible) before expanding workflows.
04
Map Evidence to Controls
Map captured artifacts to controls (1 mapped control listed).
05
Bundle evidence when needed
Export an evidence bundle (ZIP) when you need an offline attachment. Aurora keeps the underlying source and timestamps so the work stays reusable.

Capture

What This Integration Captures

Evidence types and collection notes, based on the integration’s published resources.

What Aurora monitors
1 continuous check
Vulnerability scans run within last 7 days
Evidence Aurora can collect
2 evidence types
Asset • Findings
How it stays current
Incremental updates every 6 hours. Full refresh daily.
Checks update as new data is synced.
Checks
Automated checks Aurora can run
Checks map directly to common buyer requirements. Reviewers see the result as exportable evidence, not a screenshot.

Reviewers

Why It Matters for Reviewers

A few ways this reduces follow-ups during audits and buyer reviews.

  • Reduces evidence follow-ups by attaching system exports directly to answers.
  • Keeps timestamps explicit for audit windows.
  • Makes sampling easier through evidence bundles.

Common questions

Tenable.io Integration Questions

Short answers to common evaluation questions.

Does this require admin access?
It depends on the evidence you choose to capture. We'll confirm required permissions during setup.
Can we control cadence?
Yes. In eligible plans, cadence is configurable.
Can we export evidence if a reviewer asks?
Yes. Export evidence bundles for offline attachments, or give reviewers structured access through Trust Center. Aurora keeps the source and timestamps so work stays reusable between reviews.
