What We Do
What a Vulnerability Management Program Actually Requires
Most vulnerability management programs produce findings faster than engineering teams can remediate them. The result is a backlog that grows each scan cycle, a prioritization problem that defaults to CVSS score rather than actual exploitability in your environment, and a program that measures itself by vulnerabilities found rather than risk reduced. A well-designed program addresses all three: scoped scanning that covers your actual attack surface without generating unmanageable volume, risk-based prioritization that distinguishes between critical vulnerabilities that are reachable and exploitable versus those that score high on paper but present limited real-world risk, and remediation workflows integrated with how your engineering team already works.
DevSecOps integration moves vulnerability discovery earlier in the development cycle, where remediation is faster and less disruptive. A dependency vulnerability caught by SCA during a pull request review is fixed in minutes. The same vulnerability discovered in a production scan after deployment requires a change management process, regression testing, and a deployment window. We integrate SAST, SCA, DAST, container scanning, and IaC scanning into your existing CI/CD pipeline at the stages where each tool adds the most signal with the least friction, configured with rulesets tuned to your codebase rather than defaults that generate noise developers learn to ignore.
Container and Kubernetes security requires scanning at multiple layers: the base image, the application dependencies layered on top of it, the Kubernetes configuration that controls how containers run, and the runtime behavior of containers once deployed. A clean image scan does not mean a secure deployment if the Kubernetes admission controllers permit privileged containers, if pod security policies are not enforced, or if the container runs with capabilities beyond what its function requires. We cover all of these layers rather than treating container security as image scanning alone.

Compliance and DevSecOps
Vulnerability Management for Compliance and Engineering Teams
SOC 2 and Vulnerability Management
SOC 2 Security criterion CC7.1 requires that the organization monitors for and identifies vulnerabilities, evaluates the severity of identified vulnerabilities, and remediates identified vulnerabilities on a timely basis. This means your vulnerability management program needs to be operational and producing evidence throughout the SOC 2 observation period: scan results, severity assessments, remediation tickets with SLA tracking, and closure evidence. We design vulnerability programs that satisfy CC7.1 evidence requirements as a byproduct of how the program operates, rather than assembling compliance evidence retrospectively before each audit.
PCI DSS and Patch Management
PCI DSS Requirement 6 mandates that organizations develop and maintain secure systems and software, including vulnerability scanning, patch management within defined timeframes, and protection against known vulnerabilities. Critical patches must be applied within one month of release. Internal and external vulnerability scans are required quarterly, with external scans conducted by an approved scanning vendor. We design patch management programs that meet PCI DSS timelines, configure vulnerability scanning to satisfy quarterly scan requirements, and produce the remediation documentation auditors examine during assessment.
FedRAMP and NIST 800-53
FedRAMP SI-2 (Flaw Remediation) and RA-5 (Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning) controls require cloud service providers to identify, report, and correct information system flaws, scan for vulnerabilities on defined frequencies, and remediate findings within timeframes defined by the impact level. High baseline requires critical and high findings to be remediated within 30 days. We design vulnerability programs aligned to NIST 800-53 control requirements, configure scanning to meet FedRAMP frequency requirements, and build the remediation SLA framework that satisfies Plan of Action and Milestones expectations during authorization review.
FAQ
Common Questions About Vulnerability Management
What is the difference between vulnerability scanning and vulnerability management?
Vulnerability scanning is the automated process of identifying known vulnerabilities across your systems, applications, and infrastructure. Vulnerability management is the broader program that encompasses scanning, risk-based prioritization of findings, remediation workflow integration, SLA tracking, and measurement of program effectiveness over time. Most organizations that run vulnerability scans do not have a vulnerability management program: they have a list of findings that grows with each scan cycle and no systematic process for deciding what gets fixed, in what order, by whom, and by when. The program wrapping the scanner is what determines whether scanning generates security improvement or just compliance evidence.
What is DevSecOps and how does it differ from traditional application security testing?
DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security testing into the CI/CD pipeline so that vulnerabilities are identified during development rather than after deployment. Traditional application security testing is typically conducted as a point-in-time engagement after software is built, producing findings that must be retrofitted into a codebase that has already moved on. DevSecOps shifts security left: SAST runs on every pull request, SCA checks dependencies for known vulnerabilities at build time, container images are scanned before they reach a registry, and IaC is checked for misconfigurations before infrastructure is provisioned. The earlier a finding is identified, the cheaper and faster it is to remediate.
What is SAST, SCA, and DAST and when should each be used?
Static Application Security Testing analyzes source code without executing it, identifying vulnerabilities like injection flaws, insecure cryptographic usage, and authentication weaknesses at the code level. Software Composition Analysis scans your dependency tree for known vulnerabilities in open-source libraries and packages, producing findings keyed to CVE identifiers and exploitability assessments. Dynamic Application Security Testing tests a running application by sending crafted requests and analyzing responses, identifying vulnerabilities that only manifest at runtime such as certain injection classes and authentication bypasses. All three serve different purposes and catch different vulnerability classes. A mature DevSecOps pipeline uses all three at the appropriate pipeline stage rather than treating them as alternatives.
How should vulnerabilities be prioritized when the backlog is too large to remediate everything?
CVSS score alone is a poor prioritization signal because it reflects theoretical severity rather than exploitability in your specific environment. A critical-scoring vulnerability in a service with no external exposure and compensating controls presents less actual risk than a medium-scoring vulnerability in an internet-facing service processing sensitive data. Effective prioritization combines CVSS with exploitability data (whether exploit code exists and is in active use), exposure (whether the affected system is reachable from outside your environment), and asset criticality (what data and functions the affected system supports). We build prioritization frameworks that incorporate these factors so your engineering team spends remediation capacity on findings that represent real risk rather than high CVSS scores in low-exposure systems.
How does container security scanning differ from scanning traditional infrastructure?
Container security operates across multiple layers that require different scanning approaches. Base image scanning identifies known vulnerabilities in the operating system packages included in the container image. Dependency scanning identifies vulnerabilities in the application libraries installed on top of the base image. Kubernetes configuration scanning identifies misconfigurations in pod specifications, admission controller policies, and cluster-level settings that could allow privilege escalation or container escape. Runtime scanning detects anomalous behavior in running containers that may indicate exploitation. Each layer requires different tooling and catches different vulnerability classes. Treating container security as image scanning alone leaves the Kubernetes configuration and runtime layers unexamined, which is where the most impactful cloud-native attack techniques operate.
