KRS — 10-Round Upgrade Roadmap

Round 1: Foundation (Week 1-2) — MVP

Goal: Prove the core value proposition works

  • CSV/JSON scanner export ingestion
  • KEV + EPSS + CVSS fusion scoring
  • Basic prioritization algorithm
  • CLI output: ranked findings with rationale
  • Jira ticket creation (single project)
  • Slack webhook digest
  • README + quickstart docs

Success: User uploads scanner export → gets ranked list → tickets created


Round 2: Multi-Source (Week 3-4)

Goal: Handle real-world scanner diversity

  • Nessus .nessus XML parser
  • Qualys CSV parser
  • Tenable.io API connector
  • Cross-source deduplication
  • Source health monitoring

Success: Works with 3+ scanner formats


Round 3: Asset Context (Week 5-6)

Goal: Make prioritization environment-aware

  • Asset inventory import (CSV/CMDB API)
  • Business criticality scoring
  • Internet exposure flag
  • Owner/team mapping
  • Criticality-weighted risk formula

Success: "This CVE on your payment server" vs "This CVE on dev laptop"


Round 4: Workflow Automation (Week 7-8)

Goal: Full ticketing lifecycle

  • ServiceNow integration
  • Bi-directional ticket sync (status updates)
  • SLA timers and escalation rules
  • Overdue alerts
  • Bulk ticket operations

Success: Zero manual ticket creation for standard findings


Round 5: Policy Engine (Week 9-10)

Goal: Configurable decision logic

  • Policy DSL for risk thresholds
  • Auto-accept rules (e.g., "dev env, no fix available")
  • Exception workflow with approval
  • Policy versioning and audit trail

Success: Different policies for prod vs staging vs dev


Round 6: Intelligence Enrichment (Week 11-12)

Goal: Go beyond CVSS/KEV

  • Exploit-DB/PoC availability check
  • Threat intel feed integration (MISP, OTX)
  • Ransomware association tagging
  • "Actively exploited in wild" confidence scoring

Success: Prioritize CVEs with public exploits higher


Round 7: Reporting & Metrics (Week 13-14)

Goal: Prove ROI to management

  • Dashboard: backlog burn-down, MTTR, overdue count
  • Weekly executive summary (auto-generated)
  • Trend analysis (are we getting better?)
  • Compliance mapping (PCI, SOC2, etc.)
  • Export to PDF/slides

Success: CTO can see risk posture in 30 seconds


Round 8: Remediation Guidance (Week 15-16)

Goal: Tell them HOW to fix, not just WHAT

  • Patch availability check
  • Workaround/mitigation suggestions
  • Rollback risk assessment
  • Change window recommendations
  • Pre-built firewall/WAF rules for common CVEs

Success: Ticket includes actionable fix steps


Round 9: Closed-Loop Verification (Week 17-18)

Goal: Prove the fix worked

  • Re-scan trigger after remediation
  • Delta comparison (before/after)
  • Auto-close verified tickets
  • Regression detection
  • Remediation effectiveness score

Success: "This CVE is now confirmed fixed" with evidence


Round 10: Scale & Polish (Week 19-20)

Goal: Production-ready for teams

  • Multi-tenant support
  • RBAC and SSO
  • API rate limiting and quotas
  • Performance optimization (10k+ findings/day)
  • Deployment guides (Docker, K8s, cloud)
  • Community contribution guidelines

Success: Ready for public launch and external contributors


Stretch Goals (Post-v1)

  • Auto-remediation playbooks (with approval gates)
  • Runtime exploitability analysis (RASP integration)
  • Attack path visualization
  • AI-generated remediation PRs
  • MSP multi-client dashboard
