Vulnerability Management
Supreme Ideas Agency is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all information systems. This Vulnerability Management Policy defines the framework for identifying, evaluating, addressing, and reporting security vulnerabilities across our infrastructure, applications, and third-party dependencies.
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that vulnerabilities within our digital ecosystem are identified, assessed, prioritized, and remediated in a timely and structured manner—reducing potential risks to client data, brand integrity, and operational efficiency.
Scope
This policy applies to:
All information systems owned, operated, or managed by Supreme Ideas Agency.
All third-party platforms and services integrated with our systems.
All employees, contractors, or vendors with access to our systems and data.
3. Roles & Responsibilities
a. Security Team
Monitor, detect, and assess vulnerabilities using automated tools and manual analysis.
Prioritize and assign remediation based on severity and business impact.
Maintain records of identified vulnerabilities, patches, and resolutions.
Coordinate with internal teams to test, validate, and apply fixes.
b. Development & Infrastructure Teams
Collaborate with security teams to ensure secure coding and configuration practices.
Apply patches and security updates promptly, following the risk priority.
Participate in vulnerability remediation and post-incident reviews.
c. All Staff
Report any observed or suspected vulnerabilities or breaches to the security team.
Follow safe computing practices and comply with all security policies.
4. Vulnerability Identification
We proactively identify vulnerabilities through:
Automated scanning tools (e.g., Nessus, Qualys, OWASP ZAP)
Manual code reviews and penetration testing
Threat intelligence feeds and public vulnerability databases (e.g., CVE, NVD)
Bug bounty programs (optional or third-party-driven)
Third-party disclosures and vendor advisories
5. Risk Classification & Prioritization
Each vulnerability is classified based on:
Severity Level: Critical, High, Medium, Low (based on CVSS scores)
Asset Value: How essential the affected system is to business operations
Exposure Level: Internal, external, public-facing
Exploit Availability: Whether exploits exist in the wild
Potential Business Impact: Data compromise, system outage, compliance risk
6. Remediation Timelines
| Severity | Target Resolution Time |
|---|---|
| Critical | Within 24–48 hours |
| High | Within 3–5 business days |
| Medium | Within 10–15 business days |
| Low | Within 30 days or as needed |
Exceptions must be documented, justified, and approved by the Security Lead.
7. Patch Management
Patches and updates are tested in staging environments before deployment.
Automated patching is enabled where feasible to reduce manual error.
Emergency fixes for critical vulnerabilities may be applied directly with post-deployment testing.
Version control and change logs are maintained for audit and rollback purposes.
8. Monitoring & Re-Assessment
Remediated systems are rescanned to confirm successful patching.
Continuous monitoring tools track new vulnerabilities and threats.
Periodic security audits and penetration tests validate the effectiveness of our vulnerability management.
9. Documentation & Reporting
All vulnerability assessments, remediation actions, and risk decisions are documented and securely stored. Periodic reports are generated for internal review and management accountability.
