Vulnerability & Patch Management
Detection was
never the problem.
Every scanner finds the gap. Few programmes close it before it's exploited. Govern the full remediation lifecycle — triage to verified fix — in one register, with an immutable record of every decision.

Built For
"Vulnerability & Patch Management is the continuous triage, prioritisation, remediation and verification of technical weaknesses across your estate — governed as a lifecycle, not a scan."
The Gap
A vulnerability is only risk between the moment it's known and the moment it's fixed. Most programmes measure the first date and ignore the second.
Framework coverage
What It Does
From ingestion to verified closure in four steps
Each step maintains a governed, auditable record. AI accelerates prioritisation — your security team owns every decision.
Ingest, don't re-scan
Pulls findings from your existing scanners and the Asset Register, normalised and de-duplicated into a single register. Not another scanner.
Prioritise by real exposure
CVSS, EPSS and CISA KEV weighted against asset criticality and reachability — so the queue reflects what can actually hurt you, not raw severity.
Govern the remediation
Every finding carries a decision — patch, mitigate or accept — that is role-approved, SLA-tracked and evidence-backed. Nothing closes on a status change alone.
Verify and record
Closure requires proof. Every triage, decision and approval is written to an immutable record — supersession is the only way forward.
Why It's Different
Scanners tell you what's wrong. They don't govern the fix.
SustainGRC sits above your existing scanners and owns what they leave open — the decision, the approval, the SLA and the proof that a weakness was closed. The artefact a board and a regulator ask for isn't a dashboard. It's a record.
Scanner-agnostic
Ingests findings from the tools you already own. No rip-and-replace.
Immutable by design
DRAFT → IN REVIEW → APPROVED → LOCKED. Supersession is the only way forward.
Evidence, not status
Nothing closes without proof. Audit evidence is a by-product of the work.
The Agent
An agent that triages the firehose — and stops there.
The Remediation Agent clusters duplicate findings, ranks them by exploitability and asset criticality, and proposes a plan with a drafted change request. It never patches on its own.
Propose
Agent clusters, prioritises and drafts the remediation plan and change request.
Confirm
The accountable role approves, amends or rejects. Separation of duties enforced.
Record
Both the proposal and the decision are written to an immutable, locked record.
HOW IT CONNECTS
Reads assets from the Asset Register, ingests findings from your scanners, and pushes unresolved exposure to Cyber Controls & Assurance and the Governance Twin.
