Finding-closure review for security teams
Less investigation to reach a defensible closure.
GoSentrix assesses whether evidence from your existing security and engineering systems supports a proposed finding closure, identifies what is missing, and prepares the case for your reviewer's decision.
Designed for security teams that have to explain serious-finding closures to an assessor, a bank or a customer.
Available today through a paid Finding Closure Assessment. The evidence sources it covers, and any human assistance involved, are agreed before it starts.

The same case, step by step
- 01
The claim
Criteria identifiedSEC-4471, a production finding, is marked remediated in Jira.
What GoSentrix checks: What the closure needs under your criteria: a merged fix, a test mapped to the finding, and the fixed build running in production.
- 02
Build evidence
SupportedPull request #2318 merged the fix. CI build 5520 ran the mapped test, and it passed.
What GoSentrix checks: Whether the merged change and the passing test both refer to this finding.
- 03
Deployment evidence
Cannot confirmThe production deployment record lists a release, but not which build it contains.
What GoSentrix checks: Whether the deployed artifact can be tied to build 5520.
- 04
Missing connection
Gap foundNo supplied record establishes the link between build 5520 and this production deployment. The evidence is incomplete; that is not proof the fix failed.
Build 5520Production deploymentWhat GoSentrix checks: Whether any other record closes the gap.
- 05
Assessment and next action
Ready for your reviewerAssessment: deployment evidence is incomplete. Next action: the deployment owner supplies the artifact identity.
What GoSentrix checks: Who can resolve the gap, and what they need to provide.
Your reviewer sees the evidence, the gap and the open request together, and considers the completed evidence and remaining requirements before deciding. GoSentrix ran no tests and changed nothing in your systems.
Market context
AppSec is consolidating, and unresolved risk persists.
Security programs are bringing their tools together, and serious flaws still go unresolved for long periods.
80% by 2027
Gartner forecasts that by 2027, 80% of organizations in regulated verticals that use application-security testing will incorporate some form of ASPM, compared with 29% when the report was published.
A forecast for a defined population, not a measured adoption rate for all companies.

60%
Veracode reports that critical security debt affects 60% of organizations. Security debt of any severity affects 82%.
Security debt means flaws left unresolved more than a year after discovery. Critical security debt is the subset severe enough to cause serious damage if exploited.

What each number does and does not support: research and methodology.
What does closure investigation cost your team?
Enter your own figures. The worksheet separates team capacity released from cash you would actually stop spending, and shows how much net time per case would cover a subscription.

Closures × effort per case × hourly cost
Team time freed for other work, not cash saved
Capacity released × hourly cost
Only expense you would actually stop
Capacity value + cash avoided − subscription. Team time is counted at its hourly value; it becomes cash only where spending changes.
Recurring net benefit − one-time costs, including the assessment fee
Net hours saved per case at which capacity value plus cash avoided covers the subscription. Excludes one-time costs.
Net effort reduction must include the time your team spends reviewing GoSentrix's output, resolving gaps and supplying evidence. These figures are a scenario built from your inputs, not savings GoSentrix has achieved.
Formulas and assumptions: research and methodology.
Evidence status: early-stage offering
No controlled demonstration or customer outcome has been published, and we do not claim reduced review time. Current scope, and any human assistance, are agreed in the assessment.
Evaluate it on your own closures.
A Finding Closure Assessment looks at how your team closes serious findings today, and where the supporting evidence is missing or hard to assemble.
It is a paid engagement. The evidence sources it covers, and any human assistance involved, are agreed before it starts.
