Vulnerability & Patch Management Cycle

Recurring vulnerability & patch management lifecycle covering NIST SP 800-53 RA-5 (vulnerability scanning) and SI-2 (flaw remediation) and NIST CSF 2.0 ID.RA and PR.PS. Each cycle runs as one recurring instance anchored to the EXISTING vulnerability & patch management Control item (a Control with domains = vulnerability_patch_management — e.g. the UC-VULN-01 scanning control, control_owner = cycle owner); the instance enriches that Control's evidence trail rather than creating a new subject, and the instance itself is the cycle record. In scope: authenticated scanning of the confirmed asset inventory, severity-based triage against the SLA matrix, standard and emergency remediation, rescan verification, time-bound risk acceptance of residuals, metrics reporting, and cycle closure. Named deliverables: the deduplicated, enriched finding register (one vulnerability_scan Issue per finding, linked to the Control), rescan closure evidence, time-bound compensating-control-backed risk-acceptance exceptions (policy_exception Issues), and the cycle KPI & trend report. Consumed as inputs, not produced: the authoritative asset inventory / CMDB and the enterprise change-approval policy (a Policy item). The workflow is self-triggered by its own scheduled scan window (or an actively-exploited advisory) with no upstream or downstream workflow — its carry-forward package feeds the next iteration of this same cycle at intake.
