triaging-vulnerabilities-with-ssvc-framework
Triages and prioritizes vulnerabilities with CISA's Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC) decision tree, weighing exploitation status (via the CISA KEV catalog and FIRST EPSS API), technical impact, automatability, and mission prevalence to output Track/Track*/Attend/Act decisions. Use when prioritizing vulnerability scan results (OpenVAS, Nessus, Qualys) for remediation planning beyond raw CVSS scores.

# Triaging Vulnerabilities with SSVC Framework
## Overview
The Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC) framework, developed by Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in collaboration with CISA, provides a structured decision-tree methodology for vulnerability prioritization. Unlike CVSS alone, SSVC accounts for exploitation status, technical impact, automatability, mission prevalence, and public well-being impact to produce one of four actionable outcomes: **Track**, **Track***, **Attend**, or **Act**.
## When to Use
- When managing security operations that require triaging vulnerabilities with ssvc framework
- When improving security program maturity and operational processes
- When establishing standardized procedures for security team workflows
- When integrating threat intelligence or vulnerability data into operations
