Creating an Organization in ZeroThreat

Setting up an organization in ZeroThreat is the foundation for managing your team, resources, and security workflows. This feature allows you to structure your scans, reports, and configurations under a unified organizational entity, ensuring seamless collaboration and smoother operations.

Creating an organization is simple, and this guide will walk you through those steps.


Steps to Create an Organization

1. Navigate to Organization Settings

2. Click the Add Organization Button

  • Locate the organization settings and click the button to start creating a new organization.

  • A form will appear, prompting you to provide essential details for the organization.

Define the Purpose and Scope

Ensure you have clarity on the purpose and scope of the organization you're setting up. This helps in naming it appropriately and configuring it efficiently.

3. Provide Organization Details

  • Organization Name: Enter a meaningful and unique name that identifies your organization.

    • Example: ZeroThreat-Security-Team

  • Data Storage Location: Select a location to store the data associated with your scans and configurations.

    • This setting ensures compliance with data residency requirements and optimizes performance based on geographic proximity.

Tip: Ensure Compliance with Data Residency Requirements

Double-check the storage location to comply with any regional or organizational data governance policies. For instance, regulations like GDPR (EU), CCPA (US), HIPAA (US), PIPEDA (Canada), LGPD (Brazil), and others often mandate that sensitive data is stored and processed within specific geographical boundaries. Proper configuration ensures compliance and avoids legal complications.

  • Your organization will now appear in the portal, and you can proceed to add users, assign roles, and configure settings.


Pro Tips for Setting Up an Organization

  • Use Descriptive Names: Choose a name that reflects the team, department, or purpose of the organization. This makes it easier to identify, especially when managing multiple organizations.

  • Plan Your Data Storage Location: Consider factors like team location, regulatory requirements, and data access speed when selecting the storage location.

  • Keep It Organized: Periodically review and update your organization’s role based access to ensure it stays relevant as your team grows or changes.
