Priority Controls Remediation

Use this playbook to focus efforts on the most important controls and track remediation progress.

Identify Priority Controls​

  1. Use dashboards to find policies with the most high‑severity violations.
  2. Include foundational controls (for example, encryption, public exposure, privileged access) even if current violation counts are low.

Establish SLAs and Owners​

  1. Assign each control to a control owner.
  2. Define remediation SLAs by severity and environment.

Create Remediation Campaigns​

  1. For each priority control, create a campaign (for example, a Jira epic or ServiceNow project).
  2. Group related violations and assets under the campaign.

Execute and Monitor​

  1. Use Compliance Engine findings and ITSM tickets to drive work.
  2. Track violation counts, MTTR, and age on dashboards.
  3. Adjust scope, logic, or SLAs as you learn.

Review and Iterate​

  1. Periodically review progress with stakeholders.
  2. Retire remediated campaigns and select new priority controls as posture improves.
