Below are the three high-level steps for conducting the Risk Assessment for a customer or prospect.

Step 1: Pre-Execution

Step 2: Execution

  • Assessment setup and run

    Configure the Tanium platform for the assessment and deploy the Tanium client on all relevant endpoints in the environment. Follow the process to ensure all modules are set up correctly and endpoints are inspected as intended.

  • 5 hours over 5 days
    • Day 1: (2.5 hrs) Verify AV / Firewall / VP, deploy Tanium clients, and configure Tanium platform for the assessment
    • Day 2: (30 mins) Configure Asset SIU, Validate Comply and Reveal scan status
    • Day 3: (30 mins) Validate Reveal scan status
    • Day 4: (30 mins) Assign asset critically to endpoints
    • Day 5: (1 hr) Assessment data collection (automated)

Step 3: Post-Execution

  • Data collection and document creation

    Export data from the Tanium platform and create the Risk Assessment report. Present the assessment to key stakeholders within the customer/prospect.

    *After the assessment is presented to stakeholders, convert to PC or PO, or remove the Tanium client from the endpoints.

  • Post-Execution
    • Partner / TSE generates assessment report and reviews content including proposal section
    • Team runs an executive workshop to deliver finding (written repots) and discuss conclusions and recommendations
    • Post event opportunity
    1. Convert client to a POC and demonstrate remediation
    2. Sell continuous assessment or remove Tanium agent
    3. Partner works with client on non-tooling outcomes
