Finding vulnerabilities is only one part of the security process. Confirming that fixes were applied correctly is just as important.
RedVeil is designed to make post-remediation validation simple and intentional. Rather than requiring full re-tests for every change, the platform provides One-Click Retest capabilities that allow you to quickly verify fixes with minimal overhead.
This article explains when to retest, how One-Click Retest works, and best practices for validating remediation.
One-Click Retest: Fast Validation Without Full Re-Runs
RedVeil’s One-Click Retest feature is designed specifically for remediation validation.
From the Issues tab, you can initiate a retest for:
A single finding
All findings associated with a test
This allows RedVeil to re-evaluate the exact conditions that led to the original issue, without re-running an entire penetration test.
Because the scope and context are already known, retesting is faster, more focused, and uses significantly fewer Agent Ops than a full assessment.
How One-Click Retest Works
When you initiate a One-Click Retest, RedVeil re-executes validation logic against the target to determine whether the vulnerability is still present.
The retest checks whether:
The original behavior can still be reproduced
The vulnerability has been fully mitigated
Any partial or incomplete fixes remain
Results are updated accordingly, allowing you to quickly confirm success or identify additional work needed.
How Remediated Findings Appear in Reports
When findings are successfully remediated and validated through retesting, that status is reflected in exported reports.
Remediated findings remain documented to show due diligence, accountability, and verified resolution.
Rather than removing remediated issues entirely, RedVeil documents that the vulnerability existed, was identified through testing, and was subsequently fixed. This provides a clear and accurate record of how issues were handled over time.
For auditors, customers, and other stakeholders, this transparency demonstrates that:
Vulnerabilities were discovered through appropriate security practices
Issues were addressed responsibly
Remediation was validated rather than assumed
This approach reflects how real security programs operate. All organizations have vulnerabilities at some point. What matters is the ability to identify, fix, and verify them.
