How Findings Work

Findings

Understanding how findings appear in Satark AI and how to work through them effectively.

The findings lifecycle

Connect Integration → Scan / Sync → Finding Detected → Triage → Remediate → Resolved

1. Detection

When you connect an integration (e.g. AWS, GitHub, Snyk), Satark AI periodically syncs with that tool. Security issues detected during sync appear as findings in your organization.

2. Normalization

Findings from different tools use different formats. Satark AI normalizes them into a consistent structure — so a misconfigured S3 bucket and a vulnerable dependency look the same in your list, with severity, source, and status.

3. Triage

Your team reviews findings in the Findings module:

  • Filter by severity, source, status, or date
  • Sort by priority, blast radius, or compliance impact
  • Assign findings to team members
  • Ask the AI for explanations and remediation guidance

4. Remediation

Apply the recommended fix in your environment (e.g. enable MFA, patch a dependency, fix a cloud misconfiguration). Mark the finding as In Progress while working on it.

5. Resolution

Once fixed, mark the finding as Resolved. On the next sync, Satark AI verifies the issue is no longer detected. If it persists, the finding reopens.

Prioritization

Satark AI helps you focus on what matters most:

Factor Why it matters
Severity Critical findings pose immediate risk
Blast radius Issues affecting many assets or users rank higher
Compliance impact Findings linked to violated controls need faster resolution
Common remediations Fixes that resolve multiple findings at once save time

AI-powered triage

The AI Assistant can explain any finding in plain language, suggest remediation steps, and connect findings to compliance controls — without leaving the platform.
