Episode 54 — Drive Mitigation and Remediation to Closure Without Endless Re-Openings
This episode focuses on how to drive mitigation and remediation to true closure, because ISSMP scenarios often include recurring findings caused by unclear ownership, weak verification, or temporary fixes that quietly expire. You will learn how to assign accountable owners, define acceptance criteria, validate fixes with evidence, and manage exceptions and compensating controls without creating permanent risk debt. Scenarios include patching that breaks dependencies, configuration baselines that revert after updates, and fixes that address symptoms but not root cause, showing how to keep work from cycling. Best practices include remediation SLAs by risk tier, control verification routines, and post-fix monitoring to prevent regression.
