Our platform uses them to manage scans and scan results.

This is how it works:

1. You create/import asset (for example any repository)
2. Portal sends this repository in `REPOSITORY` variable to auditor
3. Auditor performs scans and calls Portal's API endpoint with REPOSITORY parameter and a report from scanner
4. Now portal knows where to put all asset-related vulnerabilities
