## Every Finding Comes With Evidence and a Fix Path.

A finding your team has to re-investigate is a finding that waits. Each issue arrives with what the scan observed, the remediation guidance for its issue type and the asset it sits on.

From there it moves through its states, from newly detected to verified resolved, which the Deepinfo Platform records once a rescan no longer finds the signal.

### What Your Team Sees in Each Issue.

Whoever picks up an issue should be able to act on it without running the scan again.

- **Severity**: Critical, High, Medium, Low or Information
- **Issue type**: A named check with its description, category and remediation guidance
- **Asset**: The domain, subdomain or IP address it was found on
- **Evidence**: What the scan observed on the asset, stored with the issue
- **State**: Where the issue stands now, with the history of how it got there
- **Classifications**: OWASP Top 10 2021, PCI DSS 4.0 and 3.2, HIPAA, CWE, CAPEC and WASC
- **CVE context**: For vulnerabilities: CVSS, EPSS and CISA KEV, including the KEV due date and required action

### Each Decision Gets Its Own State, Because Open and Closed Lose Information.

A two-state tracker cannot tell a fixed issue from an accepted risk, or a false positive from a check that does not apply. The platform keeps each decision on record, and a revert returns an issue to its previous active state. A resolved signal that shows up again reopens the issue as `reappeared`.

### Work the Queue by Filter.

Issue actions run in bulk too. Send the filter body you use to search issues, by state, severity, type, category, asset or date, and the change applies to all matching issues.

The API refuses a change the current state does not allow (error `30004`), so a bulk request cannot move an issue somewhere the lifecycle forbids. Vulnerabilities on assets take the same actions.

- `search:mark-resolved`
- `search:accept-risk`
- `search:mark-false-positive`
- `search:ignore`
- `search:revert`

[Issue Mark Resolved reference](https://docs.deepinfo.com/reference/easm/issue-mark-resolved/)

Mark resolved by filter

```bash
# Every issue that matches filter.json
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.deepinfo.com/v1/easm/issues/search:mark-resolved" \
  -H "apikey: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @filter.json
```

### Findings Reach the People Who Fix Them.

Notify

#### Rules per Owner

Tag assets by owner or business unit, then write notification rules on new and reappeared issues, scoped by asset, severity or tag. Delivery is instant or an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly digest.

Report

#### A PDF per Audience

Issue overview and issue detail reports for the people doing the work, weekly progress and executive summary for the people tracking it. On demand or scheduled.

Export

#### CSV, JSON and API

Any issue search exports in full, and issues, with their state histories, are available through the API for the tools your team already runs.

Measure

#### Time Open, Time to Fix

Issue statistics report the average time issues stay open and the average time to fix, next to counts per severity, state and type.

### Remediation Closes the Loop.

- [Risk Detection](https://www.deepinfo.com/platform/easm/comprehensive-risk-detection/) (EASM): Where the issues come from.
- [Risk Scoring](https://www.deepinfo.com/platform/easm/complete-risk-scoring/) (EASM): How the queue is ranked.
- [Vulnerability Management](https://www.deepinfo.com/solutions/use-cases/vulnerability-management/) (Use case): Remediation ranked by real exploitation.

### Query This Data Through the API

The subdomains, DNS records, certificates, ports and technologies this module finds come from Deepinfo’s own index. Your developers can query it through the API.

- [Subdomain Finder API](https://www.deepinfo.com/data-api/apis/subdomain-finder/)
- [DNS Lookup API](https://www.deepinfo.com/data-api/apis/dns-lookup/)
- [SSL Lookup API](https://www.deepinfo.com/data-api/apis/ssl-lookup/)
- [Port Scan API](https://www.deepinfo.com/data-api/apis/port-scan/)
- [Technology Lookup API](https://www.deepinfo.com/data-api/apis/technology-lookup/)
- [All Subdomains Feed](https://www.deepinfo.com/data-api/feeds/all-subdomains/)

### Questions About Remediation

**What is the difference between marked as resolved and verified resolved?**

`marked_as_resolved` records that your team believes the issue is fixed. `verified_resolved` records that a later scan no longer finds it, and a scan sets it on its own whether or not anyone marked the issue first. Keeping the two apart shows which of your team’s fixes are confirmed and which are still waiting for a scan.

**Can we close an issue without fixing it?**

Yes. Accept the risk, ignore it, or mark it as a false positive. The issue leaves the active queue but keeps its state history, and a revert puts it back where it was.

**Which states does our team set, and which does the platform set?**

Your team sets marked as resolved, risk accepted, ignored and false positive. The platform sets the active states (newly detected, unresolved and reappeared) and the two closing states it confirms itself: verified resolved and not applicable.

**What happens when a fixed issue comes back?**

It reopens as `reappeared` instead of arriving as a new, unrelated issue, so the earlier decisions stay visible. A notification rule on reappeared issues can alert the owner.

**Can a bulk change touch issues it shouldn’t?**

Only issues the filter matches, and an empty filter matches all of them. Run the filter as a search first, check the result, then send the same body to the action.

**Can issues flow into the tools we already use?**

Issue searches export as CSV or JSON, and each issue and its state history is available through the [EASM API](https://docs.deepinfo.com/reference/easm/), so the hand-off can be scripted. See [integrations](https://www.deepinfo.com/integrations/) for what is supported today.
