Overview

Zenable’s multi-tenant model lets you organize context and requirements however your organization works - by team, product, environment, customer segment, or any combination. Each context maintains its own requirements while enabling smart layering and inheritance. This encodes institutional knowledge, reducing the impact of turnover and accelerating cross-training and onboarding.

Deployment Scales

Choose the right scale for your organization’s needs:

​
Per-Team Basis

Best for: Small to medium organizations, or piloting Zenable Start with individual teams to prove value:
  • Frontend Team: React standards, accessibility requirements
  • Backend Team: API patterns, database best practices
  • Mobile Team: Performance requirements, platform guidelines
  • DevOps Team: Infrastructure as code standards, security policies
Each team maintains autonomy while following organizational baselines.

​
Platform or Department Level

Best for: Large organizations with multiple product lines Organize by business unit or platform:
  • E-commerce Platform: PCI compliance, payment processing standards
  • Internal Tools Platform: Simplified security, rapid development
  • Customer Platform: GDPR compliance, data privacy requirements
  • Partner Platform: API versioning, backwards compatibility
Departments can share common requirements while maintaining specific needs.

​
Company-Wide Deployment

Best for: Enterprises seeking consistent governance, small to mid-sized companies in highly regulated industries (fintech, healthtech, govtech) Establish universal standards with controlled exceptions:
  • Global Requirements: Apply to every line of code
  • Division Overrides: Specific business unit needs
  • Regional Compliance: Geographic regulatory requirements
  • Customer Tiers: Different SLA and security levels
  • Regulatory Baselines: Industry-specific compliance (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, SOC2)
Central governance with distributed ownership, critical for regulated industries.
