Spaces

Spaces

A space is a collection of assets, policies, and reports that you manage together within Mondoo Platform. A space exists in a single organization. An asset (a physical or virtual computing, network, or storage device or other component of your information environment) can exist in only one space.

Spaces allow for a great degree of flexibility in managing shared resources. For example, teams may organize their deployments in spaces, setting their own policies and quickly gaining insights for everything they manage.

Furthermore, users may decide to configure separate spaces for development, staging, and production environments, or specific compliance requirements such as HIPAA or SOC 2.

You can manage team member access and the majority of your Mondoo configuration (such as your security model, service accounts, and tokens) space by space.

note

Adding and removing spaces requires Owner access to the organization.
