Remediation Queue

Resolving a finding in the platform does not fix the cloud; someone still has to change a bucket policy or a security group. The Remediation Queue is where that hand-off is tracked. Every task in it was created from a finding with the Fix action, so it stays linked to the check, the resource and the account it came from.

Where: Cloud Security → Remediation Queue.

Remediation Queue: status tiles (Open 5, In progress, Done, Won't fix, Cancelled), filters, and a table of tasks with severity, priority, assignee, due date and status

Creating a task

  1. On the Scanning tab, expand a finding and select Fix (Create remediation task).
  2. Enter an assignee (email or name), a priority, a due date and any notes for the owner.
  3. The task is created as Open and linked to the finding (check, resource, account).

You can create tasks over the API as well — see Cloud Security API.

Working the queue

The tiles count tasks per status; the table lists them non-terminal first (Open, In progress) so the work that still needs attention is always at the top. Filter by status, severity, priority or search by title, notes, resource ID or check ID.

Each row shows the finding title, the affected resource ID, severity (from the finding), and editable priority, assignee, due date and status. Changes save immediately.

StatusUse it when
OpenCreated, nobody has started.
In progressThe owner is working on it.
DoneThe change is made. The next scan verifies it — if the check still fails, the finding stays open and you will see it on the Scanning tab.
Won't fixThe owner decided not to change it. Pair this with a suppression on the finding so the risk is recorded as accepted, not ignored.
CancelledCreated by mistake or superseded.
Tasks vs. suppressions

A task says "someone will fix this by a date". A suppression says "we accept this for a period". Use a task for anything you intend to change, and a suppression for accepted risk — the queue stays a true to-do list and the audit trail stays honest.
