Intelligent Exception Management for Modern Risk Teams
Intelligent Exception Management for Modern Risk Teams
Security exceptions are unavoidable—but unmanaged exceptions are unacceptable. SynECM gives CISOs and risk managers a purpose-built platform to govern exceptions across vulnerabilities, policies, and control gaps.
★★★★★
From exception submission to risk evaluation, approvals, and revocations—SynECM automates the lifecycle, keeps decisions traceable, and ensures every deviation is accountable, auditable, and aligned with your risk appetite.
Vulnerability Exceptions
When fixing isn’t feasible—manage the risk, not just the patch.
SynECM allows teams to raise vulnerability exceptions with business justifications. It integrates asset data, threat intelligence, and compensatory control mappings to evaluate residual risk and guide security leaders in making time-bound exception approvals.
Whether it’s a new product launch, vendor constraint, or unique user requirement—SynECM lets business users request justified policy deviations. The platform validates each request against enterprise risk thresholds and guides approvals with built-in risk matrices.
Policy Exceptions
Agility doesn’t have to break the rules—it can bend them, responsibly.
Control Exceptions
When controls can’t be applied—compensate, document, and track.
From MFA delays to legacy infrastructure gaps, SynECM captures control deviations, supports alternative control documentation, and ensures all exceptions are tracked till mitigation or revocation—ensuring audit-readiness at every step.
Exception Lifecycle Automation – From Request to Revocation
Your exceptions don’t expire in spreadsheets—they expire in dashboards.
SynECM provides end-to-end automation for the entire exception lifecycle:
- Auto-notifications for expiring exceptions and revocation timelines
- Dashboard visibility of pending, active, and historical exceptions
- Central log of associated controls, policies, vulnerabilities, and compensatory actions
- Time-bound workflows with escalation mechanisms
- Audit-ready reports with exception justification, impact, and resolution tracking
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need an exception management system?
Because unmanaged exceptions become audit findings. SynECM helps you handle exceptions transparently, ensuring decisions are risk-informed, traceable, and compliant with internal policies.
How does SynECM help with audits?
It provides complete traceability of exceptions: who raised them, who approved them, what compensatory controls were used, and whether revocation happened on time—making audit preparation faster and cleaner.
What types of exceptions can SynECM handle?
Our platform is designed to handle exceptions for vulnerabilities, policy deviations, and control implementation gaps—across applications, infrastructure, and third-party engagements.
Can SynECM integrate with our asset management or vulnerability scanning tools?
Absolutely. SynECM integrates with your existing tech stack to fetch asset metadata, control status, and vulnerability data for contextual exception risk evaluation.
What happens after an exception is approved?
SynECM continues to track it. Expiry alerts, reminders for revocation, and visibility into linked policies and controls ensure exceptions don’t fall through the cracks.
