Backlog Reduction

4,000 open CVEs.
12 actually matter.

Most security tools are excellent at finding vulnerabilities. Almost none tell you which ones to fix first. Tacosec combines exploitability signals, EPSS scores, and your asset context to cut through the noise — so your team spends time on what actually matters.

The Real Problem

Why vulnerability backlogs never shrink

✕Every scanner produces findings — most teams have no process to close them

✕CVSS scores alone don't tell you if something is exploitable in your environment

✕Security creates tickets. Engineering has no time. Tickets rot.

✕New CVEs land faster than old ones get fixed — the pile only grows

✕No single view across all environments means duplicate work and missed coverage

Tacosec replaces volume with signal. Fix less. Fix right.

The Process

From overwhelming to under control.

Import your existing backlog

Connect your scanners or import from CSV. Tacosec normalizes everything.

Get risk-scored instantly

Every finding is scored by CVSS, EPSS, exploitability, and your asset criticality.

Focus your top 10

Tacosec surfaces the 10 findings with the highest actual risk to your environment.

Close, suppress, or exception

Remediate, justify suppression, or log a time-bound risk exception with approver sign-off.

Watch the backlog shrink

Track velocity and report to leadership with auto-generated weekly summaries.

How Tacosec Helps

Signal over volume.

Risk-based prioritization

Not every CVE is worth your time. Tacosec combines CVSS score, EPSS probability, active exploitation signals, and your asset context to surface findings that actually threaten you.

Exploitability signals

A CVSS 9.8 with no public exploit is different from a CVSS 7.2 with a weaponized PoC on GitHub. Tacosec shows you the difference so you prioritize correctly.

Backlog burn-down tracking

See your total exposure trending down over time. Track remediation velocity per team, per environment, and per severity band — not just raw finding count.

Smart false positive handling

Suppress findings that don't apply to your environment. Every suppression is logged with a reason and reviewer — so you can't quietly ignore things without a paper trail.

Prioritization in Action

Same backlog. Different lens.
