First move
Automate the pull from your Vulnerability scanner / patch tooling. Scan schedule, findings and remediation age straight from the scanner; patch compliance from the patch console.
Common gaps auditors find
- Infrastructure scanned while applications are not
- Scanning periodic only, with no trigger on new vulnerability disclosure
- Authenticated scanning not used so coverage is shallow
