Findings that get fixed, not just filed.
TruPilot writes each finding, suggests a risk rating with its reasons, and recommends a fix sized to the risk. Then it helps the owner fix it, and checks the proof before anything closes.
Every failed check becomes a finding with its evidence, a risk rating, and a recommended action. Findings are grouped by control and failure, so fifty servers failing the same check is one finding. Add it to the risk register, send it to be fixed with the steps filled in, or accept it until a set date. Fixes are re-checked before they close.
The challenge
Copying every scanner row into a separate finding buries your team. Grouping by cause is what makes remediation manageable.
What you're probably using today
| What you use now | Where it falls short | With TruOps |
|---|---|---|
| Jira or ServiceNow queues filled by scanners | One cause, fifty tickets, and no view of overall progress. Native ticketing sync is on our roadmap. | One finding per control and failure, listing every affected asset, re-checked before it closes. |
| SOC 2 automation tools | Great for getting certified, with automated tests, a big framework library, and often a trust center. Maturity scoring, custom frameworks, and deeper risk or vendor work can fall outside what they cover. | Keep your automated checks. Use any framework as your anchor, map the rest with partial overlaps clearly marked, and run vendor and risk work in the same place. Start with the policies and reports you already have. |
| Spreadsheets, shared drives, and email | Your program lives in folders named after last year's audit. Owners paste screenshots the week before fieldwork, and nothing is dated, so you can't show what was true last quarter. | Upload those same files. TruOps pre-fills the assessment from them, cites every answer, and keeps technical checks running so you have evidence for the whole period. |
From any source
Findings come from assessments, continuous monitoring, pen test reports, vendor reviews, and audits. They all get the same treatment: written up with the evidence, rated, and given a recommended next step.
Closed means checked
A ticket marked done says someone believes it is fixed. Before a finding closes, TruOps checks the fix against fresh evidence, such as a new scan or a new read of the configuration. If the server is still exposed, the finding stays open and the owner sees what the check found.
A rating with reasons
TruPilot suggests likelihood, impact, and velocity from the evidence, says why, and can put a dollar figure on it. A person confirms or changes the rating before anything else happens.
Help for whoever fixes it
The owner gets the steps, the affected items, and help along the way, whether they are on your team or at a vendor. Vendors see only their own findings, in the same portal they use to answer questionnaires.
Grouped when it helps
Findings are grouped by control and failure across every scope. One control failing on fifty assets is one finding listing all fifty, and passing scopes are recorded too. That's how the Controls page can show every scope that passed or failed for any control, from the whole company down to a single asset, business unit, or vendor.
A fix sized to the risk
For every finding, the agent recommends what to do. A critical finding gets a faster, stronger response and a low one gets a lighter touch. The recommendation can include steps, an owner, and a timeline, and a person accepts, edits, or replaces it.
Three ways to handle a finding
| Decision | What happens |
|---|---|
| Add to risk register | Tracked as a risk with its rating, recommendation, and evidence |
| Fix | Sent to be fixed as a tracked issue with the recommended steps filled in, and re-checked before it closes |
| Accept | Accepted until a set date with a reason, then reopens automatically |
If a check that used to pass starts failing, TruOps reopens the old finding. A failed check with no proof becomes a finding marked "evidence missing" that has to be resolved before the assessment completes.
How TruOps helps
- Any source
- Assessments, monitoring, pen tests, vendor reviews, and audits feed the same list.
- Grouped findings
- One finding per control and failure, listing everything affected.
- Recommended action
- Suggested steps, owner, and timeline based on the control, the failure, and the risk.
- Progress you can see

- Shared with vendors
- Share the findings that apply to a vendor in their portal.
Questions
Why group findings?
The same gap across fifty systems usually has one cause. One finding that lists all fifty makes the fix and the progress easy to see. Fifty separate tickets make both harder.
Does TruOps open tickets in Jira or ServiceNow?
Fixes are tracked as issues in TruOps today. Sending them to your ticketing tool is on our integration roadmap, so let us know which one you use.
What is a POA&M?
A plan of action and milestones (POA&M) lists weaknesses, planned fixes, and dates. It's common in federal programs. TruOps findings, exceptions, and remediation give you everything a POA&M needs. See What is a POA&M?
Do we have to rip out the tools we already use?
No. TruOps connects to your cloud, identity, endpoint, vulnerability, and code tools. Spreadsheets, prior reports, and policies upload into the Data Room. If you're moving from a SOC 2 automation tool or an enterprise GRC suite, you bring over your frameworks, evidence, vendors, and risks.
Can we bring our existing assessments, control lists, and vendor files?
Yes. Upload workbooks, reports, policies, and vendor exports. TruOps turns them into structured questionnaires, controls, and risks, each linked to the file it came from, for you to review.
