Capability Build & Validation: Vulnerability Management Capability

Continuous vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and remediation

01

End-to-end vulnerability management process

Asset coverage across infrastructure, applications, and cloud
Definition of ownership and accountability for remediation
Integration with IT operations and change management

02

Deployment of a practical, continuous workflow

Discovery and inventory of assets and services
Configuration of scanning (network, agent-based, cloud-native where applicable)
Risk-based prioritization (contextual severity, exposure, business criticality)
Remediation workflows with tracking and SLA definition
Reporting and visibility for operational and management levels

03

Verification that the capability functions as intended in practice

Testing coverage completeness (are all relevant assets assessed)
Validation of prioritization accuracy against real exposure
Sampling of remediation effectiveness and closure quality
Identification of gaps in detection, workflow, or ownership
Continuous tuning of scanning, prioritization, and reporting

04

Supports alignment with

ISO/IEC 27001 (vulnerability management and patching controls)
NIST CSF / NIST SP 800-53 (continuous monitoring and remediation)
CIS Controls (vulnerability and configuration management)
DORA and NIS2 regulatory expectations for continuous risk reduction and reporting
