Overview

A point-in-time assessment tells you where a client stands today. Risk Monitoring keeps that picture current. When Risk Monitoring is enabled for an assessment, Telivy automatically rescans the client on a cadence you control. Pair that with Alerts, which fire the moment a specific security event is detected, and you shift from reactive to proactive without adding manual effort.

​
Requirements

​
Configuring Scan Frequency

Once Risk Monitoring is enabled on your account, each assessment gets a Scan Settings button in the assessment header. Use it to set how often Telivy automatically rescans that client.
  1. Open the assessment in the Telivy portal.
  2. Click Scan Settings in the top right of the assessment header.
  3. Under Automated Scan Frequency, choose your cadence.
  4. Click Save.
Frequency is set per assessment, so each client can run on its own schedule. You can trigger a manual rescan at any time regardless of the cadence. This setting controls how often the client’s computers are fully rescanned. Some checks run on their own schedule no matter what you pick here: 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

The Scan Settings button only appears when Risk Monitoring is active on your agency account. If you don’t see it, reach out to accounts@telivy.com to get it enabled.
No. Automated rescans are part of the monitoring cadence and do not create new billable assessments. They update the existing assessment’s findings.
A rescan runs the full suite of checks included in the original assessment. If the assessment has an agent deployed and cloud integrations connected (M365, Google Workspace), those are all included. Note that a rescan replaces the existing assessment data. It does not create a separate snapshot or historical record alongside the current one.
Some checks run on their own schedule. The outside view of the client refreshes weekly, connected cloud tenants are read daily, and newly published vulnerabilities are compared against the software Telivy already knows about weekly, so findings can appear without any device being touched. Scanning Schedule breaks it down.
Yes. Frequency is per assessment, so each client can have its own cadence independently.
Use Alerts to get notified for specific security events: new vulnerabilities, dark web exposures, M365 and Google Workspace activity.
