The integration involves the following resources in Vanta:

* API Endpoint Vulnerability

Users, Assets and Findings will be synced every 6 hours.

Additionally, Users are synced right away when they change their account settings, when they are added to or removed from an org and when they are anonymized for GDPR compliance.
