Use Cases

Why integrate with Tenable

Common scenarios for SaaS companies building Tenable integrations for their customers.

01

Sync Tenable user roles into your GRC platform

Compliance platforms can pull Tenable Users and Groups via Truto's Unified User Directory API to verify that role-based access controls are properly configured, providing automated evidence for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits.

02

Enforce consistent access policies across security tools

SaaS platforms managing multi-tool security stacks can sync Tenable user directories alongside other tools, ensuring that a user's permission level in the integrating product matches their actual Tenable role — critical for least-privilege compliance.

03

Automate user provisioning audits for managed security services

MSSP platforms can read Tenable Users and Groups to detect orphaned accounts, privilege escalation, or misaligned group memberships across client tenants — reducing manual audit effort for their security operations teams.

04

Build a unified team directory across cybersecurity tools

Security operations platforms that aggregate data from multiple vendors can use Truto to normalize Tenable's user and group data into a single directory, giving CISOs a consolidated view of who has access to what across their entire stack.

What You Can Build

Ship these features with Truto + Tenable

Concrete product features your team can ship faster by leveraging Truto’s Tenable integration instead of building from scratch.

01

Tenable RBAC compliance dashboard

Display a real-time view of Tenable Users and their Group memberships alongside other integrated tools, flagging access policy violations automatically.

02

Cross-platform user access audit report

Generate audit-ready reports showing each user's roles and group assignments in Tenable, normalized against your platform's unified user directory.

03

Orphaned account detection for Tenable

Automatically identify Tenable user accounts that no longer correspond to active employees by cross-referencing the Unified User Directory with your HR or IdP source of truth.

04

Group-based permission mapping

Map Tenable Groups to your application's internal permission model so end users see only the vulnerability data their Tenable role entitles them to.

05

One-click Tenable connection for end users

Let your customers connect their Tenable accounts through Truto's managed auth flow, removing the need for your team to handle API keys, tokens, or OAuth configuration.

Unified APIs

Unified APIs for Tenable

Skip writing code for every integration. Use Truto’s category-specific Unified APIs out of the box or customize the mappings with AI.

Unified User Directory API

Groups

Groups are a collection of users in the source application. In some applications, they might also be called Teams.

How It Works

From zero to integrated

Go live with Tenable in under an hour. No boilerplate, no maintenance burden.

01

Link your customer’s Tenable account

Use Truto’s frontend SDK to connect your customer’s Tenable account. We handle all OAuth and API key flows — you don’t need to create the OAuth app.

02

We handle authentication

Don’t spend time refreshing access tokens or figuring out secure storage. We handle it and inject credentials into every API request.

03

Call our API, we call Tenable

Truto’s Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Tenable API. You call us, we call Tenable, and pass the response back in the same cycle.

04

Unified response format

Every response follows a single format across all integrations. We translate Tenable’s pagination into unified cursor-based pagination. Data is always in the result attribute.

FAQs

Common questions about Tenable on Truto

Authentication, rate limits, data freshness, and everything else you need to know before you integrate.

What Tenable data can I access through Truto today?

Truto's Unified User Directory API supports reading Tenable Users and Groups. Additional Tenable resources — such as assets, vulnerabilities, scans, and export workflows — are not yet available as pre-built tools but can be built on request.

How does authentication work for the Tenable integration?

Tenable Vulnerability Management uses API key-based authentication (an Access Key and Secret Key pair). Truto manages the credential storage and injection, so your end users provide their keys once through a managed connection flow and you never handle secrets directly.

Does Truto handle Tenable's API rate limits and pagination?

Yes. Truto abstracts away rate limit handling and pagination for the supported endpoints, so your application receives normalized, complete responses without needing to manage retries or cursor-based paging logic.

Can I request additional Tenable API resources beyond Users and Groups?

Absolutely. Tenable's cloud API exposes assets, vulnerabilities, scans, tags, and asynchronous export workflows. Truto builds new tools on request, so you can ask for coverage of any Tenable endpoint your use case requires.

How does the Unified User Directory API normalize Tenable's data?

Truto maps Tenable's user and group objects to a standardized schema shared across all integrations in the Unified User Directory API. This means you write one query to read users and groups regardless of whether the source is Tenable, an IdP, or another tool.

What Tenable products does this integration support?

The integration targets Tenable Vulnerability Management (formerly Tenable.io), which is Tenable's cloud-hosted platform. On-premises Tenable Security Center (formerly Nessus Manager) uses a different API surface and would require separate integration work.
