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 Top friction points when done manually The issues teams report most often with this process
# Friction point Companies Report This 1 Client delays completing intake forms
Clients often need multiple reminders before submitting their asset details.
80% 2 Manual retyping of asset data
Operations staff re-enter client-submitted asset lists into the master register by hand.
67% 3 Inconsistent verification against scans
Analysts manually cross-check declared assets against network scans, which is easy to skip under time pressure.
53% 4 Scheduling back and forth
Coordinating kickoff calls between clients and analysts takes several email exchanges.
40% 5 Delayed onboarding confirmation
Clients sometimes wait days to receive confirmation of their assigned analyst.

1. Signed Contract Received trigger
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.
