Configuring Organization Settings

During your Managed Defense (MD) onboarding process, the Mandiant Support team will set up your organization's account and establish all user accounts and access privileges. Your organization's profile page contains information about your organization's MD service, including your MD Consultant's (MDC) contact information, MD subscription plan information, and subscription expiration date.

If you are assigned the Team Admin view, you can view, edit and manage your organization's information using your MD Portal's Settings. This includes:

  • Modify basic Organizational information
  • Restricting access to your account using an Email Domain Allow list
  • Configuring Notifications

NOTE: Only users with admin privileges can view and edit your organization's profile page. Admins can also edit account settings for users in their organization.

Modifying Your Organization's Settings

The MD Portal's Settings menu allows users assigned as a Team Administrator to modify their organization's profile settings.

NOTE: If your MD account has multiple organizations, you need to access each organization separately in order to view and manage the settings.

Setting Description
Organization Alias

An alternative name for your organization that is commonly known and used by the employees.

Email Domain Allow list Grants team members within your organization user access to your organization's MD account only if they have an assigned email domain.
File Password

Externally saves and secures PDF copies of the compromise reports. The default password is openpdf.

NOTE: Only MD Portal admins have access to change the file password.

To modify your organization's settings:

  1. In the MD Portal, click Settings and select Organization.
  2. Click the Gear Icon on the top right then click the Edit Organization menu.
  3. Enter your organization's alternative name in the Alias field.
  4. Enter an email domain in the Email Domain Allowlist field.
  5. Enter a new password in the File Password field.
  6. Click UPDATE ORGANIZATION.

Email Domain Allow list

If your organization is one with multiple subsidiaries, divisions, or brands operating under a parent company, you can restrict user access to your MD service by using an Email Domain Allow list. An Allow list grants user access to team members with an assigned email domain only. For example, let's say that ABC Construction is a division of ABC Holdings, which is also the parent company to five other organizations. As a network security administrator for ABC Construction, you want to restrict access to employees of ABC Construction only. An Email Domain Allow list allows you to enter the abcconstruction.com email domain and restrict MD access to users with that email domain only. Employees who have an email domain of abcholdings.com would not have access to your organization's MD account.

NOTE: If your Allow-list setting is empty, users with any domain name are allowed to be associated with your organization.

Configuring Organization Notifications

The MD Portal's notifications feature allows users in your organization to receive important communications about Investigation events, Appliance events, Announcement events, Community Protection events, Activity Report events, and Containment events. You can define notifications for specific user groups or your entire organization.

NOTE: Only users assigned the Team Admin or MDC role can view, create, or modify their organization's notification settings.

NOTE: You will receive notifications based on your organization's notification settings and your user notification settings. See Managing User Notification Settings for more details about creating user specific notifications for your account.

Use the Gear Icon and View Notification Settings menu to view and configure automated MD notifications for users in your organization.

To create a new organization notification setting:

  1. In the MD Portal, select Organization from the Settings menu.
  2. Click the Gear Icon then click the View Notification Settings menu.

    NOTE: The INVESTIGATIONS tab is selected by default.

  3. From the INVESTIGATIONS tab, click the CREATE NOTIFICATION button to create a new notification setting.
  4. Enter the following notification settings: Triggers, Characteristics, and Recipients. As you complete notification settings for Triggers, click Next to move to Characteristics settings and then click Next to Recipients settings.
  5. Click Done.
  6. Click the APPLIANCES, ANNOUNCEMENTS, COMMUNITY PROTECTION, ACTIVITY REPORT, and CONTAINMENT tabs and repeat steps 3-5 to create notifications for these areas.

To view sent notifications:

  1. In the MD Portal, select Organization from the Settings menu.
  2. Click the Gear Icon and then click View Notification Settings.
  3. Click the View Sent Notifications link.

  4. Find the notification you want to view in the Recent Events table. The table has the following fields: Event Id, Originating Event, Trigger, Status, Notified at (UTC), Deliveries, and Message Details.
