Generate and deliver security scan reports straight to Slack

Security scan reports are generated, checked until ready, and delivered to Slack without anyone babysitting the process.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats poll status until ready.

The problem it solves

Running a vulnerability scan report means kicking it off, then checking back repeatedly until it finishes so you can download it. That waiting and checking eats time your security team could spend on real threats.

Who it fits

Security operations teams that run regular vulnerability scans.

How it works

  1. A report request comes in with the details of what to generate
  2. The system finds the right report template and launches the report
  3. It checks the report status periodically until it's ready
  4. Once complete, the report is downloaded automatically
  5. The finished report is posted to Slack for the team to review
What you get

Vulnerabilities flagged before they become a breach

You get finished vulnerability scan reports delivered straight to Slack as soon as they're ready, with no manual checking required.

What you get

A completed security scan report delivered directly to Slack.

What you need

A Qualys account with API access and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
