Life Cycle of an Assessment in an Engagement

Each asset added to an engagement is treated as an individual assessment that needs to be executed. For example, if you scope five assets for an engagement, five separate assessments will be created and tracked independently.

The assessment progresses through different stages, and the status must be manually updated by the relevant stakeholders to reflect the real-time progress.

• Assessment Scheduled - This means that the security assessment is yet to begin.
• Assessment In-Progress - This means that the security assessment is ongoing.
• Assessment Complete - This means that the security assessment is complete.
• Retest Requested - This means that you have raised a retest request which will be carried out by the Strobes team.
• Retest In-Progress - This means that the Strobes team has started retesting the fixed issues.
• Retest Complete - This Means that the assessment is now 100% complete.
• Assessment On-hold - This means that the assessment is currently on-hold.

Where to View and Update Assessment Status

1. Go to the Engagements page from the left navigation panel.
2. Click on the engagement you're working on.
3. Find the relevant assessment card under the engagement.
4. Click on the Actions dropdown for that assessment.
5. Choose “Update Status” and select the appropriate status from the dropdown.

The status of the assessments needs to be updated by the respective stakeholders as the assessment progresses through different stages.

Based on the Status of the assessment and the number of assessments an engagement has, the status of completion is also displayed in the Engagements page.
