Customizing Isora GRC

Overview (for administrators) of what can be customized in Isora GRC as part of the initial setup process.

2 min read

A number of aspects of Isora GRC are customizable for each customer. Most of these items will be determined at initial setup and customizations will be implemented during the new customer onboarding process, but all of these items may be changed at any time.


URL

Each instance of Isora GRC has its own custom URL. You can request the subdomain that you want to use.

Asset, Application and Third-Party Vendor Product Deployment Classification Picklist Values

Before you start adding inventory information into Isora GRC, you should decide whether to use the default picklist values or your own. You can find more info about the default values here: Customizable Picklist Label Values

Vendor Vertical Picklist Values

The default list of verticals (or categories) for vendors is related to HECVAT. If you want to specify different options, let us know.

Vendor Product Statuses

By default, there are no status fields. You can add them yourself as a superuser (see: 4.5 Working With Asset Statuses ) or you can request to have them added.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

After an initial testing phase, you will most likely want to integrate Isora GRC with your SAML SSO provider. Please reach out to us and we will work with your Identity Management Team to set that up.

LDAP/AD integration

LDAP/AD integration is not required by most implementations because it is superseded by SSO. However, LDAP can be used in addition to or instead of SSO. Learn more about LDAP integration here: FAQ: Isora GRC and LDAP

Email

Email notifications are initially disabled. You can set up Isora GRC to use your own mail server and specify a custom “from” address for email notifications sent by Isora GRC. It is also possible to use Isora GRC’s built-in mail relay with a custom “from” address. In that case, we will confirm the email address belongs to you. (By default, emails come from admin@<your Isora GRC URL>.)

Help Button

The help button on Isora GRC’s main menu points to the online documentation, by default. If you have created a landing page with information that’s specific to your organization and how you’re using Isora GRC, you can change the help button to go there instead. You may want to include a link from there back to https://isora-docs.saltycloud.com though 😁 .
