Create a Task

Updated over a week ago

Effectively addressing third-party security risks is critical to maintaining a strong cybersecurity posture. Our Remediation Tasks feature empowers you to manage and resolve security issues identified through both questionnaire responses and external attack surface assessments—all in one streamlined, collaborative workspace.

🔍 How it works

Quickly generate remediation tasks from:

  • Security issues flagged in questionnaire responses

  • Findings from external attack surface assessments

✅ Prioritize and assign to each third party

  • Prioritize remediation tasks based on severity or risk level

  • Set deadlines to drive timely resolution

  • Assign tasks to internal stakeholders or third-party contacts

✅ Collaborate in Real Time

Each remediation task includes built-in tools for smooth communication:

  • In-app chat for quick discussions with internal or external teams

  • Easy sharing capabilities for efficient collaboration

✅ Monitor Performance

Stay up to date on remediation progress:

  • View task status, completion percentage, and impact on posture rating

  • Identify bottlenecks or overdue items at a glance

Creating and Managing Tasks

You can create tasks directly from the Remediation & Tasks tab using the ‘Create Task’ dropdown button. The available options are:

1. Open a General Task

  • Internal Task: Assign to internal team members; unrelated to remediation

  • External Task: Assign a general task directly to the supplier

2. Create a Finding Remediation Task

Redirects you to the Findings page, where you can create a remediation task tied to specific issues.

3. Create a Questionnaire Remediation Task

Takes you to the Questionnaire page, allowing you to open a task tied to a particular question.

💡Important notes

Editing Tasks: Tasks can be edited post-creation. Suppliers are notified automatically via email about any changes.

Communication: Each task includes a conversation chat box for communicating directly with the supplier.

Automated Reminders: Suppliers receive automatic email reminders as task due dates approach.

Deleting Tasks: Tasks can be removed from either the Remediation & Tasks tab or the Remediation Tasks list by selecting and deleting the relevant item.
