Get vulnerabilities fixed.
Attack surfaces are growing – and attackers increasingly exploit open paths to critical assets. TRACE is our managed service that helps you take control of risk and exposure by combining an AI-powered engine with trusted advisors.

Your biggest risk isn’t CVEs. It’s unmanaged exposure.
Vulnerability data is everywhere – but real risk comes from what stays exposed. With thousands of findings and constant new CVEs, most organizations struggle to decide what’s relevant for them, where to act first, and how to drive closure across teams. TRACE helps you focus on the exposures that matter for your organization – and make sure they get addressed.
Managed Risk & Exposure Control
Continuous visibility across your exposure surface – so you focus on what is relevant and exploitable while managing related risks.
Expert-Guided Analysis
Our dedicated TRACE advisors validate findings, add context and guidance in the ticket, and support owners with follow-up and escalation.
Prioritization Based on Real-World Risks
We prioritize based on risk management and business context – not just fixing CVEs, but finding solutions to minimize risk.
Ticket System Integration
TRACE works where your teams work: vulnerabilities become structured tickets in your ITSM, with ownership, SLAs, and status tracking.
Maximum Transparency
Every step is documented – from detection to closure – providing full transparency for compliance, audits, and risk management.
Powered by AI
Our isolated AI model helps you analyze and categorize CVEs faster and accelerate recommendations for remediation measures.
From finding to fixing: How TRACE works.
1. Detecting
TRACE is a plug-and-play posture management service that connects to your existing continuous threat and exposure management solutions – such as Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Security Exposure Management – to identify vulnerabilities across your environment.
2. Prioritizing
Based on exposure and business impact, a risk score is assigned and criticality is defined, so you see what truly needs to be handled or fixed first.
3. Ticketing
For prioritized issues, a ticket is created in your ITSM – such as Jira or ServiceNow – ensuring clear ownership and a defined remediation path.
4. Guiding
When needed, a TRACE advisor enriches the ticket with technical context and practical remediation guidance, so your teams know exactly what to do next.
5. Remediating
Your teams patch, mitigate, or apply compensating controls. Where patching isn’t possible, TRACE helps break critical attack paths by integrating with your SOC and risk management, using tailored detection rules and risk-based controls to reduce exposure.
6. Closing
Once the resolution is confirmed, the ticket is closed with a documented, traceable record for reporting, audits, and future reviews.
Risk and posture management the easy way.
Kick-off meeting
We align on scope, stakeholders, tooling, and define goals and reporting requirements for TRACE.
Current status assessment
We review your current vulnerability process, asset coverage, and ticketing setup to identify gaps, priorities, and quick wins.
Transition workshop
We design the target workflow together – prioritization logic, ticket templates, ownership routing, and escalation paths – directly within your ITSM.
Testing
We run TRACE in a controlled phase to validate data quality, ticket flow, and advisor guidance, then fine-tune rules and reporting.
Production
We go live with TRACE as a managed service: findings are prioritized, tickets are enriched, and remediation is continuously tracked to auditable closure.
TRACE X SOC:
Better exposure control. Better detection.
Not every vulnerability can be patched immediately – sometimes not at all. In combination with our SOC, TRACE helps to improve monitoring, detection, and to reduce the likelihood of exploitation.
- Detection engineering for unpatchable CVEs, with targeted rules and alerts for exposed services and vulnerable apps.
- Smarter triage and fewer false positives by prioritizing alerts based on real, validated exposure context from TRACE.
- Faster response and clearer reporting through a continuous loop from exposure to detection to incident handling with traceable documentation.
Traditional vulnerability management focuses on identifying and scoring individual vulnerabilities, often resulting in large backlogs and limited remediation impact. TRACE goes beyond vulnerability lists by focusing on risk and exposure. It analyzes attack paths, asset criticality, and real-world exploitability to prioritize what truly matters. Most importantly, TRACE ensures that remediation is driven to closure through expert guidance, ITSM integration, and full transparency across the entire lifecycle.
Yes. TRACE supports organizations in meeting key ISO 27001 requirements by enabling structured, risk-based vulnerability and exposure management. Our service helps identify and assess risks, prioritize remediation based on business impact, and document actions from detection to closure. Through continuous tracking, ITSM integration, and audit-ready records, TRACE supports evidence generation for risk treatment and ongoing monitoring.
