Abstract

A system and method for an optimization of fulfillment workflow includes receiving application data and determining that an application is in scope for vulnerability assessment based at least in part on the application data. Assessment information related to an assessment identifying at least one vulnerability is received from an assessor. The information regarding the assessment is communicated to a remediator. One or more remediation tasks designed to remedy the at least one vulnerability is received, and an indication of performance of a remediation task is received. An indication that a remediation task has been completed based at least in part on the indication of performance of the remediation task is communicated, and an indication of whether the remediation task remedied the at least one vulnerability is received.
