Estimate the number of vulnerable items that you expect to import.

Verify that your instance can accept the number of vulnerable items that you expect to import. An undersized instance can lead to long load times. If you don’t know the size of your instance, or if you need assistance, contact ServiceNow® Technical Support.

Verify that you have the following groups or users to manage the integrations and to remediate vulnerable items:

• admin

Uses Setup Assistant to install the MS TVM integrations included with the Microsoft Defender Integration for Security Exposure Management application. If not assigned, the admin assigns the Vulnerability Admin (sn_vul.vulnerability_admin) and other roles in Setup Assistant.

• sn_vul.vulnerability_admin

Completes the configuration of the MS TVM integrations. This role has complete access to the Vulnerability Response (VR) application and its records. This admin configures all VR applications and rules and configures third-party integrations.

• sn_vul_msft_tvm.configure_integration

Configures the MS TVM Vulnerability integrations. This role contains the sn_vul_msft_tvm.read_integration granular role.

• sn_vul_msft_tvm.read_integration

Views (reads) records of the MS TVM Vulnerability integrations.

• Vulnerability Response group

By default, the Vulnerability Response group is available in Setup Assistant. Users assigned to the Vulnerability Response group inherit the sn_vul.read_all and sn_vul.remediation_owner roles automatically.

If not already created, you may prefer to create additional groups and add users with the User Administration module in your instance before you use Setup Assistant. For more information, see Create a user group.

Persona and granular roles are available to help you manage what users can do and see in the Vulnerability Response application. For initial assignment of the persona roles in Setup Assistant, see Assign the Vulnerability Response persona roles using Setup Assistant.

To promote improved performance for your first import, you can disable certain features, rules, or jobs in your instance.

• Disable vulnerability calculators if you do not use them. These calculators, plus any that you have defined, run every time a vulnerable item record is created or updated. For more information, see Disable the default vulnerability calculator if not used.

• During the initial import of records, certain notification-related business rules can cause many notifications to be generated, which could impact the performance of the ingestion.
