Findings industrialized across the portfolio. Fix capacity did not.
PE operating teams need a repeatable remediation path — prioritized findings, intent-preserving fixes, and evidence that holds up from diligence through exit.
Remediation is a scoped engagement. Gateway is self-serve in your VPC, VNet, or GCP project.
Who this is for
PE operating partners
You inherit scanner and diligence queues at every company. You need a repeatable way to turn findings into owned, reviewed repairs — with evidence you can show ops and the board.
Portfolio CISOs and AppSec
Severity-sorted tickets are not a remediation program. You need capacity to investigate, constrain the change, and ship a reviewable PR without another dashboard.
Portfolio engineering leads
Auto-fix noise burns review time. A Fix Spec that preserves product intent — and a PR you still own — is the path that survives release.
Diligence and scanners filled the queue. Repair capacity did not.
ASPM, SCA, SAST, and diligence reviews industrialize findings across the portfolio. Each company still rebuilds investigation, ownership, and a safe change for every ticket. Operating partners see aging criticals — not a shared path from a prioritized finding to a reviewed repair.
Discovery scaled. Remediation capacity did not.
The operating model is in the PE portfolio security remediation playbook. Finding → Fix Spec → PR is the scoped work on the security remediation page.
Prioritize by business impact, not scanner severity alone.
Exploitability, exposure, and what the company actually ships should rank the queue. A critical on an unused package is not the same as a reachable issue on a revenue system. UnitOne takes a prioritized finding into a Fix Spec so limited engineering time goes where it reduces material risk — not wherever the scanner shouted loudest.
Fix Spec → reviewable PR, with intent preserved.
The Fix Spec states the security condition to correct, the behavior to preserve, what may change, and the tests required to assess the repair. The output is a focused pull request for human review. Engineering owns merge and release. We do not auto-merge.
Human on the loop
Proposed repair and required passing test evidence ready for review. The portfolio company keeps merge ownership.
Human in the loop
Engineer still investigates or finishes the repair — but gets affected code, security context, and a clear blocker instead of a vague ticket.
Built for the hold period, not a one-off audit.
Diligence queues, product backlogs, and exit evidence need the same Finding → Fix Spec → PR path — repeated across companies.
Diligence and bolt-on queues
Inherited scanner and advisor findings that still need an owned repair path after close.
Portfolio company product code
AppSec backlogs where severity tickets stall without a Fix Spec engineering will merge.
Board and exit evidence
A trail from prioritized finding to reviewed repair that holds up in ops cadence and the next sale.
Private deploy
Gateway stays self-serve in a company's AWS, Azure, or GCP network. Remediation is a scoped POC.
How operating teams use UnitOne across the portfolio
Diligence findings → owned repair
Problem: Close leaves a queue. Each company rebuilds investigation and a safe change from scratch.
What we do: Take a prioritized finding into a Fix Spec, attach investigation to the ticket, and produce a reviewable PR the portfolio company still owns.
Finding → Fix Spec → PR across companies
Problem: ASPM and Jira industrialize tickets without a repair contract that preserves product intent.
What we do: Locate affected code, constrain the change, and ship a focused PR. Engineering reviews or finishes. We do not auto-merge.
Evidence from diligence through exit
Problem: Boards and buyers get a slide that says remediated — not finding, decision, repair, and verification.
What we do: Keep those linked so ops cadence, insurance, and the next diligence cycle can reuse the trail. Gateway remains a separate self-serve runtime path.

Evidence operating teams and boards can reuse.
Finding, decision, constrained repair, and verification stay linked. That trail supports ops cadence, board risk, insurance, and the next diligence cycle — not a slide that says remediated. Where a company also needs runtime logs for CRA-style vulnerability handling, Gateway stays a separate self-serve path.

Gateway stays self-serve.
Runtime inspection, exportable CRA-style logs, and spend caps deploy in a portfolio company's network. That is not the primary conversion on this page.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers for this industry page. The operating model is in the PE playbook.
- Who is this Private Equity page for?
- PE operating partners, portfolio CISOs, and AppSec leads who need repeatable remediation capacity and evidence across companies. The primary next step is a scoped remediation POC. Start free is for Gateway runtime security in a portfolio company's network.
- Do you replace scanners or ASPM across the portfolio?
- No. We consume prioritized findings and carry them through a Fix Spec, a reviewable pull request, and evidence. Companies keep their scanners, ticketing, and merge ownership.
- Air-gapped / private?
- Gateway deploys in the portfolio company's cloud account. Remediation runs under that company's approved boundary and merge ownership.
- What does a portfolio remediation POC cover?
- A scoped set of findings: investigation attached to the ticket, a Fix Spec that states what must stay true, and a reviewable PR. We do not auto-merge. Use the PE playbook for the operating model across companies.
- What do we measure?
- Work to get an issue fixed and deployed: where UnitOne reduced effort, what still needed an engineer, how long material exposure stayed open across the hold period.
