The Segments feature allows you to assess a specific subset of a company's assets, enabling a more focused and accurate risk and cyber posture rating. Segments are especially useful when a supplier manages multiple domains, environments, or business units that should be evaluated separately.
Each segment has its own dedicated page, similar to a supplier page, displaying segment-specific insights and data.
How It Works
A segment represents a defined group of domains or subdomains that belong to a parent company. Each segment receives its own assessment and risk rating, while still maintaining a relationship to the parent supplier.
Keep in mind: A segment can only be created after the parent company's Cyber Posture Rating is completed.
Creating a Segment
There are two ways to create a segment:
Option 1: From the Suppliers Page - Go to the Suppliers page and select Create Segment.
Option 2: From a Specific Supplier - Open the supplier's page and click the Segment icon on the right.
Required Information
To create a segment, you must provide:
Segment name - Must be unique (cannot match the parent company name).
At least one domain or subdomain. You can select:
Domains
Subdomains (click the arrow next to a domain to expand available subdomains)
Keep in mind: To create a segment with a subdomain, the parent domain must exist and be enabled under the main company.
Finalizing Creation
Once the segment has a name and assets are selected, choose one of the following options:
Create - Saves the segment and returns you to the previous page.
Create & Edit - Saves the segment and opens the Edit Segment page.
Segment assessment may take time.
Where Can You See Segments?
Created segments appear in the Suppliers Table and the Supplier Page.
In the Suppliers Table, each segment is displayed as a separate line item.
In the Supplier Page, segments can be found in the Segments section.
Additional Notes
There's no limit to the number of segments you can create using the same assets (names must be unique).
Segments do not trigger an immediate assessment - the assessment runs during the next scheduled scan.
Segments inherit the assessment type of the parent company.
