Connecting Rapid7 InsightVM to Drata allows for the automated, continuous monitoring of SLA due dates and evidence collection of vulnerabilities issues required for compliance.
This integration automates evidence collection for the Vulnerability Scanning test, which is mapped to DCF-18 by default. You can view findings by selecting the View Findings button after connecting or navigating directly to the Vulnerabilities page through the left-side navigation menu.
Prerequisite
Create a Rapid7 API key using a service user account with the following configurations. We recommend creating a new service user to ensure the credentials are not tied to a real user and that usage can be audited effectively.
Create a new service user account.
In the Roles section, set the user's role to Basic.
Enable the Can View permissions.
Under the Product Access section, select the appropriate product for which you want this API key to have access.
In the Roles tab, choose the View Only (Shared) role for the service user.
Generate a new API key for the service user and save it. You will need the API key to connect to Drata.
Note: Drata will pull up to 1,000 new or updated vulnerabilities for each connection daily, ordered by severity from critical to low. You can select what kind of vulnerabilities will be synced based on the severity when connecting.
Connect Rapid7 InsightVM to Drata
Select Connections from the left-side navigation menu.
Go to the Available Connections tab and search for "Rapid7 InsightVM".
Alternatively, you can select Vulnerability Scanning under the Types section of the connections to search for the connection.
In the connection drawer, you can select the severity and the date of the vulnerabilities you want to sync. These selections will also be included in the test result report for visibility.
Severity of vulnerabilities: Select the severity level of the vulnerabilities that you want to sync into Drata for compliance monitoring. Critical and High are auto-selected. Drata will bring up to 1000 new vulnerabilities or updates to vulnerabilities, sorted by severity.
First seen on: Select the date when the vulnerabilities you want to sync were first created. All vulnerabilities detected on and after this date will be synced.
Select the connect button to proceed.
Enter your API key and base URL. The base URL is the URL used to manage your Rapid7 deployment. It has the format of
https://{region}.api.insight.rapid7.com.
Once the connection is successfully created, you can select the View Findings button on the connection card or navigate to the Vulnerabilities page to review and manage the synced vulnerabilities for compliance monitoring. Learn more at Vulnerabilities help article.
