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.

Keep your ASPM and Jira. Consolidate the investigation between them.

GoSentrix takes on the evidence-assessment work left between your existing systems. Discovery, remediation, tracking and approval stay where they are today.

  • ASPM and scanners

Illustrative workflow. The source labels describe systems you may already use. They are not a list of supported integrations or partnerships.

What stays

  • Finding discovery and prioritization in your scanners and ASPM
  • Fixing and shipping through code, CI and deployment
  • Tracking and workflow in Jira
  • The closure decision, made by your reviewer

What GoSentrix takes on

  • Gathering the evidence for a proposed closure
  • Checking it against your closure criteria
  • Naming each gap and who can fill it
  • Preparing a case the next reviewer can inspect

Step 1 of 5 · The claim

SEC-4471 is marked remediated. A proposed closure is a claim to assess.

About 50 seconds. Starts only when you press play.

The same case, step by step

  1. 01

    The claim

    Criteria identified

    SEC-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.

  2. 02

    Build evidence

    Supported

    Pull 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.

  3. 03

    Deployment evidence

    Cannot confirm

    The 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.

  4. 04

    Missing connection

    Gap found

    No supplied record establishes the link between build 5520 and this production deployment. The evidence is incomplete; that is not proof the fix failed.

    What GoSentrix checks: Whether any other record closes the gap.

  5. 05

    Assessment and next action

    Ready for your reviewer

    Assessment: 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.

Market forecast

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.

Observed dataset

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.

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

Break-even net reduction
—

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.

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.
