Claim assets associated with your organization

Claiming an IP or domain simply means agreeing that it should be attributed to your organization. While not required, it is a recommended practice that helps you isolate assets you know belong to you, so you can focus on keeping them secure.

Note: Claiming an asset does not change your score, and it does not generate requests to our Support team.

This is especially helpful for multiple teams collaborating in a large organization. If you see that an asset has already been claimed, you do not have to verify whether it belongs to your organization.

You can claim assets in two ways:

• Select them in the inventory tables and then claim them.
• Provide a list of assets to claim by uploading a .csv file or manually entering them.

How claiming works with IPs and domains

• You can only claim an IP or domain on your own scorecard.
• You cannot claim a subdomain, which inherits its status from the parent domain. By claiming the parent domain, you also claim any subdomain.
• By claiming a domain, you do not claim the IPs in it. Claim IPs separately.
• Claims require no approval and take effect immediately.

Select assets to claim

1. In the Domain Inventory or IP Inventory table, select assets that you want to claim.
2. Click Claim.|
   
   
   
    
3. In the dialog, review your action and click Claim.
   
   The asset's displayed status immediately changes from Attributed to Claimed.

Provide a list of assets to claim

If you want to use your own internally managed inventory of domains or IP addresses to claim assets, you can do the following instead of selecting from the inventory tables:

• Upload a .csv file of those assets instead of reviewing the assets displayed in your footprint. You can upload domain and IP .csv files separately.
• Manually enter IP addresses.

Identify your asset column by giving it the heading ip or domain. Otherwise, SecurityScorecard uses the value in the first column by default.

Note: If you upload an asset that is not currently in the Digital Footprint, it is not added as part of the Claim operation. Use the Add operation for assets that are not in the Digital Footprint yet.

1. In the Domain Inventory or IP Inventory table, click Claim without selecting any assets.
2. In the Claim assets dialog, do one of the following:
    
   • Click the button to upload a .csv from your hard drive
   • Copy a comma-separated list of IPs or domains and paste it into the text box.
3. Click Claim.
   
   
    

Any Digital Footprint assets with an Attributed status change to Claimed if they are in the list that you provided.
