Process for managing technical vulnerabilities
1. Task description

The organization has defined a process for addressing identified technical vulnerabilities.

Some vulnerabilities can be fixed directly, but vulnerabilities that have a significant impact should also be documented as security incidents. Once a vulnerability with significant impacts has been identified:

  • risks related to the vulnerability and the necessary actions are identified (e.g. patching the system or other management tasks)
  • necessary actions are scheduled
  • all actions taken are documented
