  1. Market trends: Are you seeing similar pressure from customers on accelerated remediation SLAs?
  2. Risk prioritization: Does your organization rely on scanner-default severity (e.g., Tenable, Rapid7, Qualys), or are you applying internal risk modeling that accounts for compensating controls and business context?
  3. Tools and automation: What tools or services do you use to support automation and scale vulnerability management and remediation?
  4. Operational approach: How is your organization balancing aggressive SLAs with established change management and testing processes?
