Decision trees

SSVC decisions from exploitation, exposure and impact.

How to build it

  1. Score each confirmed weakness on exploitation, exposure and impact.
  2. Map each combination to a fixed decision such as act now, act soon, track or defer.
  3. Store the decision tree in a file the team reviews each quarter.

Signals in a repository

  • An SSVC decision table or decision tree file in the repository.
  • Triage labels such as act-now or defer on security issues.
  • A reference to SSVC in the security policy.

In practice

No scanned repository runs a tool for this check. The steps above are the only guidance.
