There are multiple ways you can ingest vulnerabilities into SIRP for end-to-end management and closure: - Users can initiate scans on the vulnerability assessment tool from SIRP. As soon as the scan is finished, the assessment and the vulnerabilities within the assessment are auto-ingested in the platform. - Users can define an "Ingestion Source" by connecting SIRP with the vulnerability assessment tool. The ingestion source will fetch any new assessment from the VA tool into SIRP. In this scenario, the scans are executed directly within the VA tool (not through SIRP). - Users can also create the assessment and add vulnerabilities to that assessment, manually. In this scenario, no automated vulnerability assessments are executed. This type of process is useful to manage the vulnerabilities identified and reported as a result of a Penetration Testing exercise. - Lastly, users can "export" an assessment from the VA tool and import it into SIRP. This guide will illustrate how you can import a report generated by a Vulnerability Assessment tool into SIRP. We will follow the steps below: - In **Vulnerability Management**, click **Imported Assments \> Import Assessment.** [![](https://content.sirp.io/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-Jul-11-2025-11-57-10-9857-AM.png)](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/778907511/de75fe1b08632d7bd28c8e97/image.png?expires=1752237000&signature=81ed55207fe6f186e1154804e88775bb34081335ee528f5f8e8ce0ec1cdce6b3&req=cycvH8l5mIBeFb4f3HP0gIX7iOzlteuICOoha9GWVhZQrOdq0SQ65xqhr%2B4O%0ArDGFDxFklm9NuwTZDw%3D%3D%0A) - Select your VA tool from the dropdown menu.
