Scheduling
Scheduled audits run on a cron schedule, provisioning a fresh sandbox and executing the configured audit each interval. Use them for continuous coverage between manual engagements.Why schedule audits
- Continuous coverage — catch regressions within hours, not at the next quarterly pentest
- Compliance — produce continuous evidence for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / PCI controls
- Release gating — schedule a shallow audit shortly after each release window
- Drift detection — see when a new subdomain appears or a new vulnerability surfaces
Creating a scheduled audit
- Open a workspace and click Scheduling in the workspace sidebar
- Click New Schedule
- Configure:
- Name — e.g., “Daily shallow scan”
- Audit type — shallow / deep / autonomous
- Cron expression — when to run
- Targets — defaults to workspace domain
- Scope — required only for autonomous type
- Click Save
Cron syntax
WithGiga uses standard 5-field cron:| Expression | Runs | Suggested mode |
|---|---|---|
0 9 * * 1 | Weekly, Monday 9 AM | Deep |
0 0 * * * | Daily, midnight | Shallow |
0 */6 * * * | Every 6 hours | Shallow |
0 9 * * 1-5 | Weekdays 9 AM | Shallow |
0 9 1 * * | Monthly, 1st at 9 AM | Deep |
*/30 * * * * | Every 30 minutes | Shallow only |
Choosing a cadence
| Cadence | Use shallow | Use deep | Use autonomous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly / frequent | ✓ | — | — |
| Daily | ✓ | If needed | — |
| Weekly | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Monthly / quarterly | — | ✓ | ✓ |
Shallow audits are designed for frequent runs. Deep and autonomous audits consume significant compute — schedule them weekly or less often unless you specifically need higher frequency.
Managing schedules
From the Scheduling page you can:- Pause a schedule without deleting it
- Edit the cron expression, audit type, or scope
- Run now to trigger an ad-hoc audit outside the schedule
- View runs to see past audits triggered by this schedule
- Delete the schedule (does not affect past audit history)
Notifications
When a scheduled audit completes, WithGiga can notify via:- Email — sent to your account email by default
- Slack — if Slack is connected
- Webhook — if
callbackUrlis configured on the schedule
Concurrency
Scheduled audits respect your plan’s concurrent audit limit. If a schedule fires while you’re at capacity:- The scheduled run queues until capacity frees
- If the queue exceeds the configured timeout, it fails with
CONCURRENCY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
