Data collected

AlloyScan performs comprehensive data collection across your entire IT environment, covering on-premises infrastructure, off-network endpoints, remote systems, and cloud resources.

The system collects detailed information about hardware components, operating systems, installed software, user accounts, network configuration, security settings, peripherals, SNMP-enabled devices, and cloud infrastructure resources.

For the full list of collected items, see Collected data overview.

Network ports required for AlloyScan

Generally, AlloyScan requires outbound HTTPS on port 443 to securely transmit audit data to the cloud service. No additional ports, VPN, or special firewall rules are required. All transmitted data is encrypted with TLS to ensure confidentiality and integrity.
