Controlled optional add-on
Approved infrastructure assessment with governed execution.
Guardian controls target authorisation, assessment policy, scheduling, normalised results, remediation and reporting while scanner execution remains isolated to approved scanner nodes.
Package position
Optional controlled add-on
Infrastructure Assessment is not included automatically in Guardian Core, Assurance or Managed Defence. Approved target scope, tools, cadence and assessment activity are confirmed separately.
02
Clear commercial boundary
Included capability, allowances and separately priced activity are identified before activation.
03
Governed delivery
Exact scope, configuration and service commitments are confirmed in the applicable package schedule or proposal.
What is included
Capability designed around accountable security outcomes.
AT
Authorised targets
Only active, approved and attested targets can enter the assessment lifecycle.
PS
Policy snapshots
Assessment policy is captured and retained for traceability.
QJ
Queued jobs
Application nodes validate and queue while dedicated scanner nodes perform bounded execution.
NR
Normalised results
Customer-safe findings replace raw scanner output in public-facing views.
CA
Cancellation and supervision
Claims, leases, heartbeats and cancellation support controlled operations.
RP
Reports and evidence
Approved outputs support remediation and review.
Important boundaries
Infrastructure assessment is never an unrestricted scanning service.
Approved scope, policy and authorisation are required before execution. Scanner binaries do not run in web request handlers.
Exact tools, limits and availability are confirmed for the approved deployment and assessment requirement.
