Governance

Modern application security involves more than just scanning for vulnerabilities—it requires a holistic approach that ties together reporting, compliance, automated workflows, and incident management. The Governance section of Escape documentation brings all these elements under one umbrella to help you operationalize security at scale.

Key Topics¶

1. Vulnerability Management: Learn how to identify, prioritize, and remediate security issues or sensitive data leaks detected by Escape DAST. This includes bulk editing, ignoring, machine-learning hashing of vulnerabilities, and in-depth analytics that help reduce noise and focus on real risks.

2. Reporting: Generate detailed insights into your security posture. Escape’s reporting capabilities allow you to track historical scan data, trend analyses, and share these findings with internal teams or external stakeholders.

3. Compliance: Explore how Escape maps detected vulnerabilities and exposures to various compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI-DSS, OWASP Top 10, NIST, SOC-2). Easily generate reports that demonstrate adherence to industry standards—supporting audit-readiness and reducing time-consuming manual mapping.

4. Automations & Notifications: Automate the creation of tickets, webhook calls, or Slack messages whenever new vulnerabilities are found. Escape’s workflows let you define custom triggers (WHEN), conditions (IF), and actions (THEN) to ensure swift and effective responses to emerging threats.

5. Ticketing & Workflows: Dive deeper into integrating Escape with tools such as Jira, ServiceNow, or other project management systems. Keep remediation tasks organized and traceable, from detection through closure, to maintain a clear audit trail and enable cross-functional collaboration.

Who Should Use This Section?¶

• Security Engineers & AppSec Teams looking to streamline vulnerability remediation and ensure consistent adherence to security standards.
• DevOps & Platform Teams wanting to embed security checks and notifications into continuous delivery pipelines.
• Compliance Officers & Auditors aiming to understand how Escape supports and simplifies regulatory mandates.
• Team Leads & Project Managers needing a clear view of security risks, open remediation tasks, and reporting for stakeholder communication.

Next Steps¶

• Vulnerability Management: Learn about risk-based prioritization, ignoring mechanisms, bulk editing, and more.
• Compliance & Reporting: Generate automated compliance reports and gain insight into your overall security posture.
• Automations & Ticketing: Configure workflows to trigger actions (e.g., Slack messages, Jira tickets) whenever a new issue is discovered.

By leveraging the features in Governance, you can turn raw vulnerability data into actionable intelligence—ensuring continuous compliance, streamlined workflows, and robust reporting for all stakeholders involved in securing your applications.
