to your stack & domain
Fix a prioritized set of vulnerabilities and hardening gaps across application, infrastructure, configuration, and access.
How this operator works
every way of working, already decidedOwns the system, not the ticket
Takes end-to-end ownership of a service or surface. Design, delivery, on-call. And is measured on outcomes, not hours.
Embedded, async-first, instrumented
Works inside your repos, your CI and your rituals. Daily written standups, decisions logged. No status-meeting tax.
Runbooks, canaries, reversible deploys
Every change gated and reversible. Incidents get a timeline and a postmortem; nothing ships without a rollback.
Plugged into your Slack & rituals
Joins standups and retros, reports weekly against the goal. You get an operator, not a queue.
Brings a pre-wired stack or adopts yours
Infrastructure and observability as code by default. No bespoke setup tax to absorb.
Scoped, gated, reversible
Week-1 shadow, week-2 ownership, swap on request inside the trial window. No long-tail handover risk.
Overview
Assessments create lists; this sprint closes them. Working from your pen-test report, audit findings, or scanner backlog, the team agrees a prioritized fix set and remediates it — application code, infrastructure configuration, access policies, and the hardening gaps in between.
Every fix is verified — retested against the original finding, not just marked done — and closed with evidence suitable for auditors or customers. The finish state: the agreed set fixed and verified, remaining risk documented, and hardening baselines in place to stop recurrence.
What's included
Backlog triage & fix plan
Your findings backlog — pen-test report, audit, scanner output — triaged into an agreed fix set with a verification standard per item.
Application & code fixes
Code-level vulnerabilities remediated at the source: injection, authorization gaps, insecure handling of data and sessions.
Infrastructure & config hardening
Cloud and server configuration, network exposure, TLS, and access policies hardened against the findings and relevant baselines.
Verification & evidence
Every fix retested against the original finding and closed with evidence suitable for auditors, customers, or your board.
How it works
- Scope. Triage the findings backlog; agree the fix set and the verification standard.
- Build. Remediate across application, infrastructure, configuration, and access; verify each fix.
- Handover. Evidence pack, residual-risk register, and hardening baselines.
Part of every Delivery Plan
The Security Hardening & Remediation Sprint is a menu item on the Scrums.com delivery catalog, available at every plan tier. Add it to your plan backlog and your delivery team schedules it like any other item — scoped, tracked, and reported through the SEOP. See Delivery Plan Tiers.
FAQs
What if you find new issues while fixing?
They are logged into the register with evidence, not silently absorbed — the agreed fix set stays the deliverable, and the new items get sized honestly as follow-on work.
What do we need to provide?
The findings source, repository and infrastructure access, and someone empowered to approve changes to access policies and configuration.
How do we stop the backlog regrowing?
The hardening baselines prevent the config classes returning, and the Vulnerability Management Setup item gives every future finding an owner and an SLA instead of a spreadsheet row.
