Risk & Vulnerability Management
A scan is a snapshot. A vulnerability management program is what happens every day after it — identification, prioritization by consequence, and remediation tracked to closure.
The scan report isn't the program — what happens after it is
A one-time assessment produces a list. Without a process behind it, that list ages: new vulnerabilities are disclosed, systems change, and the original findings either get fixed piecemeal, get forgotten, or sit in a spreadsheet nobody owns. That's true in any environment, and it's a more expensive failure in one where a vulnerability can sit for years on a control system that only comes offline during a scheduled outage.
GSS builds vulnerability management as a standing program rather than a deliverable: a defined cadence for identifying new vulnerabilities across IT and OT, a consistent method for prioritizing them by consequence rather than by severity score alone, and a remediation-tracking process that closes the loop instead of leaving a finding open indefinitely.
Prioritization is where most vulnerability programs go wrong when applied to OT — a critical-severity vulnerability on an isolated engineering workstation and a moderate-severity one on a system tied to a protected function are not equally urgent, whatever the score says. The program is built to reflect that.
