Audit-ready features

The plumbing an auditor expects, built in from day one.

Remediation SLA tracking

Per-severity SLA policies with breach alerts. Auditors see median time-to-fix and SLA pass rate per scan.

8-status finding lifecycle

open -> triaged -> in progress -> fixed -> verified -> closed, plus accepted-risk and false-positive terminal states.

Five export formats

PDF for auditor handoffs, JSON for evidence archives, CSV for spreadsheets, SARIF for machine ingestion, Markdown for docs.

Activity log retention

Plan-tier retention up to 365 days (Enterprise configurable). Every scan, finding change, and permission shift is captured.

Team-scoped RBAC

Admin, analyst, viewer, and trainee roles enforced at middleware and query layers. Least-privilege by default.

Continuous scan schedules

Daily, weekly, monthly, or cron-expression-driven scans. Every run produces a fresh evidence artifact.

Scan diffs

Compare any two scans to see which findings are new, fixed, or regressed. Regressed findings auto-reopen.

Executive summary PDF

On-demand report aggregating team-wide security posture, grade, and trend -- suitable for board and exec review.

Uptime evidence

Scheduled weekly and monthly uptime PDFs with maintenance-window exclusions and per-check SLA pass/fail.

Compliance tooling, not a certification

Metric Tower provides scanning and evidence tooling that supports compliance programs. It is not itself a compliance certification. Teams should pair Metric Tower with formal audit processes, auditor-reviewed controls, and legal counsel where required.
