Change Management Dashboard showing request summary and vulnerability overview
Overview
The Change Management module allows organizations to securely track and assess changes introduced to their applications, infrastructure, or APIs.It ensures that every new release or feature undergoes a controlled security review before production deployment. Whether you are performing internal change reviews or managing external pentest requests, this module provides a unified process for security validation, approval tracking, and evidence management.
Purpose
Every code deployment or configuration update can impact the security posture.Change Management in Snapsec VM formalizes this process by:
- Documenting change requests with relevant context (title, owner, timeline, dependencies).
- Running targeted assessments on new or modified components.
- Tracking vulnerabilities introduced or fixed through each release.
- Maintaining traceability between changes, vulnerabilities, and pentest results.
Value
Security in Every Release
Ensure each release or feature update goes through defined security checks before deployment.
Centralized Request Tracking
Manage all change and pentest requests from a single interface with clear visibility on status and priority.
Evidence-based Validation
Attach supporting evidence, testing credentials, and API documentation for validation and audit.
Seamless Integration
Link Jira or CI/CD releases with security verification and vulnerability results.
Change Management Dashboard
The Dashboard provides an overview of all pentests and change requests along with key metrics.

Viewing and Managing Change Requests
All existing requests are listed in the Change Requests tab, where you can view, search, and filter by state, priority, or update date. Each request includes linked vulnerabilities, associated evidence, and live metrics showing open/closed issues, severity breakdowns, and trends.

Adding Vulnerabilities to a Change Request
During or after validation, vulnerabilities identified are automatically linked to their associated Change Request.1
From the Assessment
Select vulnerabilities discovered during the pentest and map them to the related change request.
2
Auto Link via Integration
If connected with CI/CD or scanners, vulnerabilities are automatically assigned to their respective change ID.
3
Review and Track Progress
Track each vulnerability’s lifecycle under the Metrics tab within the change request.
