Synack for CISA BOD 26-04: Prove Exposure and Impact, Not Just Scores
BOD 26-04 sets remediation deadlines from four risk variables per vulnerability instance. Synack proves the two no scanner can: real exposure and real impact in your environment.
24-Day Average MTTR Reduction · FedRAMP Moderate Authorized · 1,500+ Vetted Researchers
The Synack Difference
Built for Federal Deployment, Proven at Scale
FedRAMP Moderate Authorized
Deployable within federal boundaries; trusted by a majority of cabinet-level departments.
Streamlined Acquisition
Available via AWS and Google Cloud marketplaces, NASA SEWP, and GSA.
Machine Speed
Sara AI Pentesting runs recon, attack surface mapping, and exploit validation at adversarial speed.
Human Depth
1,500+ rigorously vetted Synack Red Team researchers prove exploitability and chain attacks.
Measurable Outcomes
Clients average a 24-day MTTR reduction against the 43-day industry median CISA cited.
Key Synack Benefits for BOD 26-04
Evidence for Every Risk Variable
Answer the one variable CISA won't answer for you
Sara AI Pentesting and the Synack Red Team prove what an unauthenticated adversary can actually reach and exploit, turning a scanner flag into a defensible exposure determination.
Rank remediation by demonstrated impact
SRT attack chaining shows what exploitation yields in your environment — whether controls hold, whether segmentation contains the blast — not a generic worst-case rating.
Keep pace with KEV-driven clocks
Continuous testing validates new KEV entries against live scope the moment they land — no scheduling, no scoping delay.
Focus mandatory forensic triage where compromise is plausible
Exploit-verified findings concentrate the 3-day triage window on proven attack paths, backed by an audit-ready chain of evidence.
Synack + BOD 26-04
How Synack Maps to the Four BOD 26-04 Variables
| Capability | Synack | Scanner / Scoring Alone |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Exposure — the variable agencies must answer themselves | ||
| Flags internet-adjacent assets | ✓ | ✓ |
| Proves unauthenticated reachability and exploitability | ✓ | |
| Revalidates as exposure changes (dynamic BOD timelines) | ✓ | |
| KEV Status — clocks start when a CVE lands in the catalog | ||
| Detects KEV-listed CVEs in the environment | ✓ | ✓ |
| Validates new KEV entries against live scope as they land | ✓ | |
| Exploit Automation — adversaries operate at machine speed | ||
| Consumes CISA Vulnrichment automation ratings | ✓ | ✓ |
| Tests at adversarial speed with Sara AI Pentesting | ✓ | |
| Post-Exploitation Technical Impact — generic ratings vs. your environment | ||
| Reports worst-case, per-CVE impact ratings | ✓ | ✓ |
| Demonstrates real blast radius via human-led attack chaining | ✓ | |
| Exploit evidence that focuses 3-day forensic triage | ✓ | |
| Audit-ready proof for CISA, IG, and internal review | ✓ | |
CISA · BOD 26-04
"CISA strongly encourages all partners to adopt similar actions in their vulnerability management policy."
CISA Acting Director, on BOD 26-04, June 2026
Request a BOD 26-04 Exposure-Validation Assessment
We'll show you which of your "exposed" assets actually are — and what an attacker really gets.
