Security Program Management

Finding and fixing vulnerabilities only matters if the right work happens in the right order, with the right people, at the right time. Nullify runs your product security program the way a security engineering lead would: one prioritized backlog across every capability, work routed to the owners who can actually take it on, and campaigns driven to completion — pull requests opened, tickets filed, stalled work escalated.

What it does

One prioritized backlog. Code vulnerabilities from AI code security scanning, leaked secrets, cloud misconfigurations, supply-chain risks and validated pentest findings land in a single backlog, ordered by a 0–100 priority score that weighs severity, exploitability, reachability and business impact together — not raw CVSS.
Campaigns, not ticket queues. Work is organized toward objectives like “eliminate leaked secrets,” “upgrade the dependencies affected by this CVE” or “harden our Terraform.” Nullify proposes campaigns from what it actually found; a security leader sets the scope and the level of automation.
Ownership and capacity. Owners come from CODEOWNERS, commit history, service metadata and your team structure. Nullify also reads how many open PRs and tickets each person already has, so new work goes to someone who can take it — and it won't reassign work across teams without approval.
Escalations on your SLAs. Nullify monitors open security PRs and tickets and escalates the ones that stall — by Slack DM to the owner, to a channel, or both — with the risk and the SLA spelled out in the message.
Threat-aware priorities. Actively exploited vulnerabilities and zero-day disclosures that affect the technologies you run push findings up the backlog, and a serious enough disclosure opens a trackable threat investigation.
Guardrails you set. Program autonomy policy, team ground rules and blocked action types control which PRs, tickets, messages and reviewer assignments Nullify can make on its own.

How it works

Every campaign runs the same loop. Detect: Nullify proposes campaigns from your current backlog, threat intelligence and organizational risk — there is no fixed catalog of templates. Decide: a security leader adjusts which findings are in scope, whether Nullify opens PRs, files tickets or only notifies, and any deadlines. Execute: Nullify assigns work to the right owners, opens merge-ready autofix pull requests, creates and updates tickets in Jira and other trackers, and escalates when progress stalls. Report: progress is tracked in real time — findings in scope, resolved versus remaining, time to resolution, per-team progress and SLA compliance. Above individual campaigns, Nullify keeps a versioned, editable set of quarterly security goals so every campaign ladders up to a direction for the program. When it needs a human decision, it raises an action item instead of guessing.

Frequently asked questions

What is security program management in Nullify?+

It is the part of Nullify that runs your security program: it maintains one prioritized backlog across every capability, monitors emerging threats, knows who owns what and how much they already have on their plate, and drives work to completion through campaigns — opening PRs, filing tickets, nudging and escalating.

Which findings can a campaign target?+

Campaigns cover code, dependency, container, secret and pentest findings, and can be scoped by finding type (specific CWEs or CVEs), repository, team, individual, severity, or a combination.

Does Nullify act without approval?+

Only within the boundaries you set. A security leader decides each campaign's scope and automation level, ground rules and blocked action types limit what Nullify can do on its own, it won't move work across teams without approval, and it raises an action item whenever it needs a human decision.

What does it report on?+

Mean time to remediate (MTTR), current finding counts, and campaign progress — resolved versus remaining, per team, with SLA compliance.
