Remediation Services | Genesis Solutions

What Are Remediation Services?

Every cybersecurity assessment produces findings. Remediation is where those findings become actual security improvements. We help organizations prioritize, implement, validate, and document the fixes identified during CIS Benchmark, NIST CSF, AI governance, and cloud security assessments.

Why Remediation Matters

Assessment findings are only valuable if you act on them. Common barriers include:

Capacity constraints — IT and security teams are already stretched thin
Knowledge gaps — Framework-specific controls require deep platform knowledge
Lack of accountability — Without ownership and timelines, findings drift
Fear of disruption — Concerns about security changes affecting user experience

We address all four — providing the expertise, capacity, and structure to close gaps.

How We Work

1. Prioritization

Not all findings carry equal risk. We prioritize based on:

Risk rating and exploitability
Regulatory and compliance impact
Dependencies between controls
Quick wins vs. long-term initiatives

2. Implementation

Each finding requires specific technical action:

Configuration changes in M365, Azure, AWS, or other platforms
Policy creation or updates
Architecture modifications
Process improvements for ongoing operations

3. Validation

After implementation, we verify:

The control meets the benchmark or framework requirement
No unintended side effects were introduced
The remediation is sustainable through update cycles
Documentation is complete for audit evidence

4. Reporting

Stakeholders receive clear visibility into:

Which findings have been closed
Which are in progress with expected completion
Which have been risk-accepted with documented justification
Overall security posture improvement

Frameworks We Remediate

CIS Benchmarks (M365, Azure, AWS, Google Workspace)
NIST CSF findings
NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 gaps
Cloud security assessment findings
EU AI Act compliance gaps

How It Works

Prioritize findings

Review all assessment findings and prioritize based on risk rating, exploitability, regulatory impact, and dependencies between controls.

Implement fixes

Execute configuration changes, policy updates, and architecture modifications for each prioritized finding.

Validate controls

Verify that each remediated control meets the benchmark or framework requirement with no unintended side effects.

Report and document

Deliver a remediation report showing closed findings, in-progress items, risk-accepted items, and overall posture improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an assessment and remediation?

An assessment identifies security gaps and compliance issues. Remediation is the hands-on work of fixing those findings — implementing configuration changes, creating policies, and validating that controls meet framework requirements.

Do you remediate findings from other assessors?

Yes. We remediate findings from our own assessments as well as assessments performed by other firms. We review the original findings to validate accuracy before beginning remediation work.

How do you prioritize which findings to fix first?

We prioritize based on risk rating, exploitability, regulatory impact, dependencies between controls, and quick-win opportunities. Critical and high-risk items with straightforward fixes are addressed first.
