# Groups Overview

## Introduction

A Group can be a business unit, division, department, data center, or application. You can define Groups with rich business metadata, enabling the creation of risk scenarios that accurately reflect the risk associated with a specific group of underlying assets like servers and endpoints.

You can easily create these groups using a simple 4-step wizard. This makes the process easy and ensures we collect all the necessary information for assessing risk.

When creating a group, you can define group details that include Name, Description, Firmographic Details (Industry, country, revenue, employee count, Internet-facing), and Group Type (Smart, Static, or No Asset groups). ![Groups1.png](https://cdn.document360.io/23dc20b8-a989-48c0-8653-f1d3e4abc734/Images/Documentation/Groups1.png)

## Group Types

There are 3 distinct approaches for creating a group, each tailored to different needs and scenarios. These group types enable you to seamlessly connect technology assets or people with the appropriate groups.

1. **Smart Grou**p: A group that the platform continuously updates by automatically associating technology assets or people based on specific criteria that you define, simplifying the grouping process and ensuring automatic updates.
2. **Static Group**: Similar to a smart group, but in this case, you manually specify the exact technology assets or people by selecting them individually
3. **No Assets Group**: The No Asset Group proves beneficial when you lack information about assets for inclusion in a group but intend to model a Risk scenario. This group type enables you to select the Attack Surface Type from predefined options like Applications, Cloud, End-points, SaaS, etc. Users can later convert this group into Smart Groups once they activate integrations or receive assets with smart tags, allowing them to create more advanced and dynamic Smart [Groups.Group](http://Groups.Group) Details. ![group 2.png](https://cdn.document360.io/23dc20b8-a989-48c0-8653-f1d3e4abc734/Images/Documentation/group%202.png)
