Vulnerability & Patch Management
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.
ISO/IEC 27001 · NIST SP 800-40 · CIS Control 7 · NCA ECC-2:2024
"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
Framework coverage
What It Does
Each step maintains a governed, auditable record. AI accelerates prioritisation — your security team owns every decision.
Pulls findings from your existing scanners and the Asset Register, normalised and de-duplicated into a single register. Not another scanner.
CVSS, EPSS and CISA KEV weighted against asset criticality and reachability — so the queue reflects what can actually hurt you, not raw severity.
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.
Closure requires proof. Every triage, decision and approval is written to an immutable record — supersession is the only way forward.
Why It's Different
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.
Ingests findings from the tools you already own. No rip-and-replace.
DRAFT → IN REVIEW → APPROVED → LOCKED. Supersession is the only way forward.
Nothing closes without proof. Audit evidence is a by-product of the work.
The Agent
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.
Agent clusters, prioritises and drafts the remediation plan and change request.
The accountable role approves, amends or rejects. Separation of duties enforced.
Both the proposal and the decision are written to an immutable, locked record.
Reads assets from the Asset Register, ingests findings from your scanners, and pushes unresolved exposure to Cyber Controls & Assurance and the Governance Twin.
