Overview

A one-time assessment shows where a client stood on the day it ran. Risk Monitoring, labelled Continuous Monitoring in the portal, rescans the client on a schedule you choose and saves a snapshot after each scan, so you can show the client how their posture changes over time. Alerts cover the gaps between rescans by telling you about a new breach or a new critical vulnerability as soon as Telivy finds it.

​
Requirements

​
Turn on Continuous Monitoring

You can turn it on when you create the assessment, or later on an existing one.
  • When creating an assessment, tick Schedule Recurring Scans under Recurring Scans and pick a Scan Frequency.
  • On an existing assessment, click Enable Continuous Monitoring on the assessment and confirm. The first scan runs straight away, and the assessment then rescans monthly by default. Unity partners manage monitoring per client through Unity: for a client linked to a Unity customer, the assessment offers Enable Recurring Scans or a link to the client’s row on the Unity tab instead.
Turning on Continuous Monitoring for an existing one-time assessment clears its current data and starts recording snapshots from the first monitored scan onward.

​
Change the scan frequency

Once monitoring is on, the assessment’s More menu has Scan Settings.
  1. Open the assessment in the Telivy portal.
  2. Click More, then Scan Settings.
  3. Under Automated Scan Frequency, choose a frequency.
Frequency is set per assessment, so each client can run on its own schedule. You can still trigger a manual rescan at any time. This setting controls how often the client’s computers are fully rescanned. Some checks keep their own schedule whatever you pick: everything Telivy checks from the outside is refreshed weekly, and connected Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace tenants are read daily. Scanning Schedule explains what is checked when, and why findings sometimes change between rescans.

FAQ

Scan Settings appears only once Continuous Monitoring is on for that assessment. Turn it on with Enable Continuous Monitoring first. If that button says monitoring is not enabled on your plan, contact accounts@telivy.com.
No. Scheduled rescans update the existing assessment and do not create new billable assessments.
The full set of checks in the assessment: devices with the agent installed, the external view of the client, and any connected Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant. A rescan replaces the current findings. Earlier results are kept as snapshots in the assessment’s history, which is what the trend charts are drawn from.
Some checks run on their own schedule. The outside view refreshes weekly, connected cloud tenants are read daily, and newly published vulnerabilities are compared weekly against the software Telivy already knows about, so findings can appear without any device being touched. Scanning Schedule breaks it down.
Yes. Frequency is set per assessment.
