Remediation Roadmap
The Remediation Roadmap is where findings become a managed programme of work rather than a list of problems. Each gap raised during assessment, control testing or audit becomes a tracked remediation item with an owner, a priority and a target date, and the roadmap shows what is in progress, what is done and what is overdue.
What a remediation item holds
Section titled “What a remediation item holds”| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Title | What is being fixed. |
| Owner | Who is accountable for the fix. |
| Control reference & framework | The control and framework the item relates to. |
| Priority | How urgent the work is. |
| Status | Where the work has reached (through to done). |
| Target date | When it is due. |
| Description & notes | The detail and running commentary. |
Remediation items link back to the findings they close, completing the traceable chain from a control gap to the work that resolves it.
Overdue tracking
Section titled “Overdue tracking”The roadmap watches target dates. Any item that is not done and is past its target date is
flagged as overdue, and the count surfaces as a warning in the interface so slippage is
visible rather than buried. The roadmap also shows progress at a glance as a done-over-total ratio.
Where it sits in the lifecycle
Section titled “Where it sits in the lifecycle”Remediation is the closure path for findings and the concrete substance of the Improve stage of the governance lifecycle:
control → control test → evidence → finding → remediation item → doneKeeping remediation visible, owned and dated turns governance from a point-in-time assessment into a continuous improvement programme, and gives reporting a real view of progress over time, not just a snapshot of open gaps.
The AI Consultant can help plan it
Section titled “The AI Consultant can help plan it”The AI Consultant’s Remediation Planning mode can draft sequenced remediation actions with owners, dependencies and closure tests, grounded in the findings already recorded. As always, the output is a drafting accelerator for a well-prepared record, not a substitute for accountable sign-off.
- Evidence & findings: where the findings remediation closes are raised.
- Reporting & exports: surface remediation progress to leadership.
- The governance lifecycle: the Improve stage this feeds.
