Case study Logistics & field operations 2025-06
Vulnerability management program with prioritization and remediation tracking
Implemented continuous scanning with practical prioritization, owner assignment, and leadership-visible reporting.
Situation
A logistics organization had scan data but no consistent process for remediation. Findings were noisy, ownership was unclear, and progress could not be measured.
Approach
- Signal shaping: tuned scanning scope to reduce noise and reflect real asset exposure.
- Prioritization: focused on exploitability, business impact, and reachable attack paths.
- Ownership mapping: assigned remediation owners and timeframes aligned to operational maintenance windows.
- Verification: defined what “fixed” means and how it is validated after change.
- Reporting: monthly summaries with trends, open risks, and the next remediation wave.
Outcome
The program became a predictable cadence rather than a periodic fire drill. Leadership could see progress, owners had clear actions, and the backlog aligned to risk.
Focus areas
Vulnerability scanning
Prioritization model
Remediation tracking
Monthly executive reporting
Results
- Converted scan output into an actionable, owned backlog
- Reduced exposure by prioritizing exploitable paths first
- Established consistent reporting cadence with clear next actions
- Improved patch/change planning via staged remediation windows
Next step
Start with a baseline snapshot and a staged roadmap. You’ll get measurable control coverage and a prioritized backlog.
