Review and Prioritize Findings

Prioritize remediation using risk, exploitability, ownership, and tenant policy tuning so teams fix what matters first. Audience: Security triage teams, engineering leads, and service owners. Typical setup time: Ongoing, daily review recommended.

Before You Begin

  • Confirm you have access to Findings, Trends, and ownership assignment actions.
  • Align severity-to-deadline policy with engineering leads before triage.
  • Decide escalation path for KEV and internet-exposed critical findings.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Triage highest-risk findings first

Use risk score and exploit context to build an actionable queue.

  • Sort findings by risk score as your default triage view.
  • Use KEV and severity filters to isolate urgent vulnerabilities.
  • Run Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) on-demand for the top queue and review validated/not-validated outcomes.
  • Filter by AEV state to separate immediately exploitable paths from inconclusive candidates.
  • Review affected assets to identify production or internet-facing impact.

Step 2

Assign ownership and deadlines

Every finding should have one accountable owner and a target resolution date.

  • Assign findings to service owners from impacted teams.
  • Set due dates aligned to your internal SLA policy.
  • Capture remediation notes and fix version targets.

Step 3

Tune tenant scoring policy safely

Use simulation before publishing weight changes so queue movement is intentional and auditable.

  • Open `/findings/risk-scoring` and review the current tenant policy version.
  • Run a simulation to inspect projected score, rank, and priority changes before publishing.
  • Record a change summary for every publish and use rollback if the new ordering does not match operating expectations.

Step 4

Track closure and recurring drift

Monitor trend movement to verify risk is declining over time.

  • Review trend and backlog metrics at least weekly.
  • Track reopened findings and recurring high-severity issues.
  • Escalate overdue remediation items in operating reviews.

Success Checks

  • Each critical/high finding has an accountable owner and due date.
  • Weekly trend review shows decreasing open high-risk backlog.
