Go-Live Checklist#

For Everyone

Use this checklist to confirm that you're ready to go live. Click the □ next to each item you've completed to check it off. Your checks are saved in this browser, so they remain even if you reopen the page later. Once every item is checked, your organization is running vulnerability management with FutureVuls on its own.

What you'll learn
What should be in place at each of the three ramp-up stages

You're done when
Every item is checked

If You Signed a Contract After a Trial#

If your trial summary left any items under "Conditional or unconfirmed," address those first. You don't need to redo anything you already confirmed during the trial.

Reviewed the "Conditional or unconfirmed" items left over from the trial and scheduled how to address them

Planning#

Decided your goals, the scope to register first (initial scope), and the scope to eventually expand to, and recorded them in the Onboarding Preparation Sheet (Planning 1: Define Your Goals)
Decided who will receive accounts, how to divide groups, what each person can see, and where notifications go (Planning 2: Decide Your Team and Visibility)
Decided the scan method for the servers in your initial scope and started any required internal procedures (Planning 3: Check Your Environment)

Rollout (Target: By Week 4)#

Created the groups for the servers in your initial scope and invited members (Setup 1)
All servers in your initial scope are registered and updated automatically every day (Setup 2)

Systematization (Target: By Week 8)#

Configured the SSVC inputs (business impact = Human Impact, internet exposure = Exposure), and priorities are being calculated (Setup 3)
Defined and saved the "Important CVE" conditions based on your own criteria (Setup 3)
Checking the "Important CVE" tab every day (or at the frequency you decided) (STEP 1)
Set an assignee for each server and due dates based on priority (Setup 4)
Set up notifications to Slack or Teams (recommended; Setup 4)

Established Operations (Target: By Day 90)#

Decided who handles the weekly and quarterly reviews, and shared this internally (Set Your Operating Rhythm)
Consistently addressing vulnerabilities rated "Immediate" without letting them pile up for more than a month (Set Your Operating Rhythm)

Once Every Item Is Checked#

Onboarding for your initial scope is complete. The next page summarizes what to keep doing after onboarding and points you to the relevant manual pages.
