Client & Asset Onboarding

Q: Do our staff still need to be involved in onboarding?

Yes, operations and security staff still review flagged items and handle exceptions, but they no longer perform routine data entry or scheduling.

Q: Will this work with the tools our team already uses?

The automation connects with common contract, CRM, spreadsheet, and ticketing tools, so it can fit most existing setups.

Q: What happens to our existing client and asset records?

Existing records stay in place and the automation builds on them, updating and organizing new client data as it comes in.

Q: How are mismatched or incomplete asset submissions handled?

Discrepancies between client-submitted assets and network scans are flagged for an analyst to review rather than being silently accepted.

Get every new client provisioned, documented, and monitored from day one without spreadsheets and chased emails.

About This Automation

Onboarding a new cybersecurity client involves collecting signed contracts, gathering asset and network details, and verifying them before work begins. Manual handoffs between sales, operations, and security analysts create delays and repeated data entry.

The automated version captures signed contracts, routes intake forms, and populates asset records without manual retyping. It verifies declared assets against network data and schedules kickoff calls automatically, shortening the path from signed contract to active client.

Key features:

Creates client records automatically once a contract is signed

Sends intake questionnaires and tracks completion without manual follow-up

Parses submitted asset data directly into the asset register

Opens onboarding tickets and assigns subtasks for the security team

Cross-checks declared assets against network scan data for gaps

Schedules kickoff calls and sends confirmation once verification is complete

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Signed Contract Receivedtrigger

A completion event fires when the client countersigns, launching the onboarding sequence automatically.

2. Create Client Record

The Client Intake creates the account and contact with contract terms attached.

3. Send Intake Questionnaire

A welcome email with the asset and network intake form is sent automatically.

4. Validate And Log Asset Inventory

The Asset Inventory reads the client's submitted form, checks for missing fields, and flags incomplete responses.

5. Create Onboarding Ticket

An onboarding ticket with subtasks is opened and the asset register is updated in the same pass.

6. Schedule Kickoff Call

Once assets match the scan, the Kickoff Scheduling books the call calendar.

7. Security Analyst Reconciles Mismatch

If declared assets don't match the network scan, the ticket routes to a security analyst for manual verification before continuing.

8. Send Onboarding Confirmation

A confirmation email with next steps and the assigned analyst's contact is sent.
