Remediation Assistance

Overview

 

Our Remediation Assistance service provides hands-on support to organizations addressing vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security gaps identified during penetration testing or security assessments. We work side-by-side with your IT and security teams to ensure that remediation efforts are efficient, cost-effective, and aligned with business priorities.

​

Rather than simply handing over a report, we partner with you to turn findings into action, ensuring tangible improvements to your security posture. By focusing on areas with the greatest risk and highest return on investment (ROI), we help you maximize value from your penetration testing engagement.

Our approach emphasizes collaboration, knowledge transfer, and measurable outcomes—empowering your team to not only remediate current issues but also strengthen long-term resilience.

 

Key Features of Remediation Assistance

 

1. Findings Prioritization

​

• Risk-based triage of vulnerabilities based on likelihood, impact, and business context.

• Mapping findings to frameworks such as ISO 27001, ASD Essential 8, and NIST CSF.

• Prioritization matrix (High, Medium, Low) for clear decision-making.

 

2. Collaborative Remediation Support

​

• Work directly with IT teams where no overlap exists (to avoid duplicating existing effort).

• Provide technical guidance and best-practice solutions for patching, configuration, and control implementation.

• Recommend compensating controls where immediate fixes are not feasible.

 

3. ROI-Focused Approach

​

• Ensure remediation actions align with business objectives and budget constraints.

• Highlight “quick wins” to demonstrate immediate value.

• Build long-term remediation strategies that improve security maturity.

 

4. Documentation and Tracking

​

• Update risk registers with remediation progress.

• Provide detailed remediation guidance aligned with each finding.

• Supply executive-friendly reports showcasing remediation ROI and progress.

 

5. Knowledge Transfer

​

• Upskill internal teams with tailored remediation workshops.

• Deliver documentation and technical guides to ensure repeatability.

• Embed lessons learned into policies and processes to prevent recurrence.

 

Methodologies and Frameworks

​

Our remediation support is grounded in best practices and industry frameworks:

​

• ASD Essential 8: Guidance for implementing prioritized mitigation strategies like patch management and access control.

• ISO 27001: Align remediation activities with ISMS requirements and risk treatment plans.

• NIST CSF: Support remediation across the Protect, Detect, and Respond functions.

• OWASP Top 10: Address application-specific vulnerabilities with standardized approaches.
