Remediation Operating Model

A remediation operating model only works when control design, implementation, and proof have explicit owners. Security interprets evidence, sets acceptance criteria, and prioritizes control opportunities; product owns user and workflow impact, approves tradeoffs, and sets rollout and exception policy; platform provides reusable guardrails, shared identity and policy controls, and instrumentation for evidence; engineering implements system changes, adds test and evidence hooks, and preserves regression coverage; and an evidence owner runs the agreed retest and updates residual risk and closure state. This split creates clear accountability from finding to fix to verification, reducing ambiguity, slowing drift, and making remediation measurable end to end.
