What is Remediation?
Remediation is the act of resolving identified security issues. It can involve applying patches, updating configurations, removing exposed services, rotating credentials, or implementing compensating controls. Effective remediation requires prioritization (not all issues are equally urgent), tracking (who is fixing what, by when), and verification (confirming the fix worked). SLA-based remediation timelines — such as 7 days for critical, 30 days for high — create accountability and measurable security improvement.
