# Qualys

> How DSALTA integrates with Qualys — data collected, setup guide, and automated compliance checks.

## Overview

DSALTA connects to Qualys using read-only API access to collect compliance evidence automatically. Data syncs every 24 hours and feeds into your Data Library modules.

<Info>
  **Read-only access.** DSALTA never modifies, creates, or deletes resources in your Qualys environment.

## How to Connect

2. Find **Qualys** and click **Connect**.
3. Authenticate with admin-level access.
4. Select the scope (accounts, projects, or resources to monitor).
5. DSALTA performs an initial sync (5-15 minutes). Checks activate after sync completes.
