Remediation and fixes
Our experts advise you on, or implement, the fixes for the vulnerabilities that were found
What is remediation?
Our security fix implementation service strengthens the protection of your IT systems by fixing the vulnerabilities identified during a security audit. It involves analyzing the flaws that were found, applying the necessary updates and adjustments, and verifying that the fixes actually work.
Objectives
Our remediation services break down into several tasks, including:
Explaining and prioritizing the recommendations
Recommendations adapted to your context
Support for your internal teams
Implementation of the fixes
Immediate verification that the fixes work
The HELX approach
Our penetration testing experience shows that vulnerabilities can persist after an audit when fixes are incomplete or when your teams lack the resources to apply them properly. That is why we support you through the implementation, to make sure the flaws that were found are actually fixed. Depending on your resources, we can advise you on the fixes you have chosen or implement our own fixes for you.
Our types of support
We support you in securing your systems, from the audit and **tailored recommendations** all the way to the hands-on **implementation** of the fixes by our experts.
Implementation advisory
Audience: companies with several administrators and developers. Our experts work with your technical teams in workshops, advising them on how to implement the fixes and helping them verify how well the fixes hold up.
Fix implementation
Audience: SMBs short on internal manpower. If you have no administrators or developers on staff able to implement the fixes, our experts do it for you and verify that the vulnerability is gone.
Methodology
This service follows a structured, multi-step approach to make sure vulnerabilities are fixed effectively and stay fixed.
- 01
Prioritizing the recommendations
Every recommendation from an audit is explained in depth and prioritized into an action plan that accounts for your technical constraints.
- 02
Supporting your teams
Discussions with your technical teams about the fixes to put in place and identification of the best solutions.
- 03
Implementing the fixes
If you lack the internal resources, our experts handle the implementation of the fixes.
- 04
Verifying the fix
We directly verify that the vulnerabilities are properly fixed and that the fix cannot be bypassed.

Frequently asked questions
We have an audit report but no team to fix things: can you do it?
Yes, that is exactly what this service is for: we go from advice to implementation, directly on your systems or alongside your usual IT provider.
Can you work from an audit done by another firm?
Of course. We take the existing report, reassess the priorities if needed, then implement. A follow-up audit then verifies objectively that the fixes hold.
How much does a follow-up audit cost?
25% of the price of the penetration tests and audits it covers. A modest investment to go from a report to a verified level of security.
How do you avoid breaking production while fixing things?
Every fix is assessed (impact, dependencies), tested when possible, and rolled out in waves with a rollback point. We have seen enough environments to know that brutal hardening does more harm than good.
