Risk-Based Vulnerability Remediation
Not all vulnerabilities are equal. We combine CVSS severity, real-world exploitability data, and your business context to help you fix the vulnerabilities that actually reduce breach risk — not just the ones with the highest numbers.
The Problem With Patching Everything Equally
The average organisation has thousands of open vulnerabilities — patching everything equally is impossible
CVSS alone is insufficient: a CVSS 7.5 with a weaponised exploit is far more dangerous than a CVSS 9.0 with no known exploit
Regulators (PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001) require risk-based remediation programs with documented prioritisation rationale
Most breaches exploit known, unpatched vulnerabilities — faster remediation of the right vulns directly reduces breach probability
How We Prioritise and Track Remediation
Vulnerability Aggregation
Consolidate findings from Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7, Nessus, and penetration test reports into a unified prioritised backlog
Exploitability Scoring
Layer CVSS with EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) and CISA KEV data to identify vulnerabilities actively exploited in the wild
Business Impact Mapping
Map vulnerabilities to business-critical systems — a critical CVE on an internet-facing payment server ranks higher than the same CVE on an air-gapped test machine
Remediation Roadmap
Produce a structured remediation roadmap with owner assignments, deadlines, and effort estimates aligned to team capacity
SLA Tracking
Track remediation SLAs per severity tier and send automated escalation alerts when deadlines are at risk
Closure Verification
Verify each remediation with a targeted rescan before marking a finding closed — no false closures
Remediation Priority Tiers
Our standard SLA framework — customisable to your risk tolerance
Actively exploited (CISA KEV), internet-facing, CVSS 9.0+
Public exploit available, CVSS 7.0–8.9, privileged access path
CVSS 4.0–6.9, no known active exploitation
CVSS below 4.0, hardening improvements, configuration issues
