O re-teste pode ser executado em produção?

Sim. A validação é conduzida de forma segura e não intrusiva, sem efeitos destrutivos. Ela foi projetada para confirmar o resultado da correção sem comprometer a estabilidade do ambiente.

Como o re-teste é acionado?

O re-teste é iniciado automaticamente quando uma vulnerabilidade é marcada como resolvida no fluxo de trabalho da equipe. Não há necessidade de aguardar a próxima varredura programada.

O que acontece se a correção não tiver fechado o risco?

O item retorna ao fluxo de tratamento com a evidência de que a vulnerabilidade ainda existe. A equipe sabe imediatamente que a correção foi incompleta, em vez de descobrir semanas depois.

Uma vulnerabilidade já encerrada pode ser reavaliada?

Sim. Quando o cenário de ameaças muda de modo que um risco antes encerrado volte a ser relevante, a CSURFACE reavalia o item automaticamente e o traz de volta à visibilidade da equipe.

CONTINUOUS VALIDATION

Ensure that the fix really closed the risk.

Marking a vulnerability as resolved does not guarantee its elimination. CSURFACE re-tests each item after correction and technically confirms the result — without relying on a manual verification cycle.

THE CHALLENGE

A corrected vulnerability is not the same as risk elimination

In the traditional vulnerability management workflow, an item is marked as resolved once the team applies the correction. Effective confirmation only comes during the next scan, weeks later. Between these two moments lies a window of uncertainty where it is assumed that the risk has been closed without it having been verified.

A correction may fail for reasons that go unnoticed: the change was not applied to all assets, a service was not restarted, a cache layer still serves the previous version, or a compensating control merely hinders exploitation without preventing it. Without re-testing, the status of "resolved" is an assumption, not a fact.

CAPABILITIES

Continuous re-validation of each fix

The technical confirmation, immediately after the fix, that the vulnerability no longer exists.

Post-fix retest

When an item is marked as resolved, CSURFACE automatically re-tests it to verify the actual result.

Non-intrusive verification

The validation is conducted in a safe manner, without destructive effects, suitable for execution even in production environments.

Conclusive result

Each re-test returns a clear response: the fix was confirmed or the vulnerability remains — without ambiguity.

Reopening when necessary

If the fix did not close the risk, the item returns to the treatment flow with evidence of failure.

Contextual re-validation

Vulnerabilities previously closed are reassessed when the threat landscape changes and the risk becomes relevant again.

Exportable evidence

Each validation generates an auditable record of before and after, ready for audits and compliance reports.

continuous validation · retest cycle

Exposure	Asset	1st validation	After fix
Remote execution (RCE)	portal.exemplo.com.br	exploitable	closed
SQL injection	api.exemplo.com	exploitable	closed
Outdated component	app.exemplo.com.br	exploitable	still open
Weak TLS configuration	mail.exemplo.com.br	partial	closed

Validation confirms what is actually exploitable; the automatic re-test verifies if the fix closed the attack path.

CLOSED CYCLE

The remediation cycle ends with proof

A vulnerability management program is only reliable when the cycle is closed: discover, prioritize, fix, and confirm. In most operations, the last step is left for a future scan—or simply assumed. It is in this step that items marked as resolved remain exposed without being perceived.

CSURFACE closes this cycle. The re-test occurs immediately after the fix and returns a technical confirmation to the workflow. The team closes an item with certainty that the risk has been eliminated, not just the expectation of it having been.

HOW IT WORKS

From Correction to Confirmation

Activation

When a vulnerability is marked as resolved in the team's workflow, CSURFACE automatically initiates the re-test.

Re-Validation

The vulnerability is re-tested in a secure and non-intrusive manner to verify, in practice, if the correction closed the risk.

Confirmation

The result returns to the workflow: confirmed correction or item reopened with evidence. Context changes trigger new validation.

WHAT YOU GET

Certainty in place of assumption

Without confirmation, the remediation index measures effort, not result. Continuous re-validation closes this gap.

Verified remediation

Each item closed was technically confirmed as resolved, with active retesting.

Early detection of flaws

Incomplete fixes return to the radar shortly after application, before becoming a problem.

Demonstrable compliance

The before and after records provide audit evidence for frameworks like ISO 27001 and PCI DSS.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

Can the re-test be executed in production?

Yes. The validation is conducted in a safe and non-intrusive manner, without destructive effects. It was designed to confirm the result of the correction without compromising the stability of the environment.

How is the re-test triggered?

The re-test is initiated automatically when a vulnerability is marked as resolved in the team's workflow. There is no need to wait for the next scheduled scan.

What happens if the correction does not close the risk?

The item returns to the treatment flow with evidence that the vulnerability still exists. The team immediately knows that the correction was incomplete, rather than discovering it weeks later.

Can a closed vulnerability be re-evaluated?

Yes. When the threat landscape changes in such a way that a previously closed risk becomes relevant again, CSURFACE automatically re-evaluates the item and brings it back into the team's visibility.
