SOLUTIONS / CISOS

Know what the finding
actually establishes.

Give engineering evidence to act on and give leadership a clear account of application risk. Galen connects the code, the security boundary, and the correction behind a supported finding.

Available now: Galen Policy Beta and Managed Galen Security Audits. Self-service Galen Security is coming soon.

Deterministic analysis. Inspectable evidence. Your team’s decisions.

INTENDED BOUNDARY

Only the approved export role can retrieve the full customer dataset.

The issue to investigate

A new endpoint checks sign-in and exposes the complete export.

The affected path admits a broader actor than the sensitive export requires.

Conceptual example, not live Galen output. Recheck the actual implementation after a correction.

WHAT IS AT STAKE

You own the risk decision, even when someone else writes the code.

More generated code and more alerts do not make release decisions easier. You need to know which findings are supported, which business operation is exposed, who owns the correction, and what evidence will justify closing the issue. An impressive severity label cannot answer those questions by itself.

The same pressure reaches your engineering teams. If every alert requires a fresh investigation, security becomes a handoff that slows delivery and creates exceptions. Galen gives reviewers a bounded account of the affected path and controls so discussion can move from competing opinions to a specific risk decision.

Accountability
Keep the version, evidence, and decision connected.
Capacity
Give limited review time to supported issues.
Consistency
Make approved access rules explicit across releases.

PUT GALEN TO WORK

Check the change.
Understand the wider risk.

GO DEEPER WITH AN AUDIT

Anchor the audit in evidence your teams can defend.

Galen Security derives findings from deterministic application facts and checks the derivation behind emitted findings. The supporting paths, data flows, and control evidence help reviewers explain why a weakness matters and what a correction should change.

Use that evidence to organize a risk discussion around the affected actor, data, operation, and business consequence. A Managed Security Audit adds Telhawk-led scoping and review. Preserve the reviewed version, remediation decision, and validation outcome for later stakeholder questions.

CHECK WHILE YOU BUILD

Move the approved rule closer to the change.

Galen Policy helps teams identify access changes during development. Recover the application’s current access behavior, review it with the responsible owners, and approve the intended baseline. Later checks compare code changes with that decision.

That makes a new grant or removed guard a reviewable change in application authority. It helps engineering raise the right question earlier: is this expanded access an approved business requirement, or a mistake introduced during implementation?

WHERE TO FOCUS

Ask for a decision record, not an alert total.

THE SECURITY DECISIONMake the reason for the decision visible.
What is exposed?
The actor, sensitive operation, and affected information.
Why is the finding supported?
The path, the relevant control, and the code evidence.
Who owns the response?
The application owner and the agreed correction objective.
What justifies closure?
The corrected version and the re-evaluated security path.
Boundary or decisionWhat needs attentionEvidence to inspect
ExposureWhich person or agent can reach which sensitive operation?The entry point, path, affected data, and relevant controls.
DispositionWhat is being fixed, investigated, or intentionally accepted?A reasoned decision tied to the supported finding and remaining gaps.
ClosureWhat changed after the fix?Re-evaluation of the affected path on the corrected version.

A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT

Make the risk discussion repeatable.

  1. 01

    Agree the scope.

    Identify the application, release, important boundaries, and accountable owners.

  2. 02

    Resolve with evidence.

    Assign corrections using the finding’s path and security consequence.

  3. 03

    Record the outcome.

    Retain what was established, what changed, and what remains outside the review.

BUILD WITH BETTER EVIDENCE

Give your next release decision a stronger basis.

Use Galen Security for deeper application review and Policy for checks while the implementation is changing.
