Stop Prioritizing. Start Fixing.

For years, the AppSec playbook has looked like this:

1. Scan everything.
2. Prioritize the flood of findings.
3. Fix the small, critical subset.
4. Accept the rest as “technical debt.”

This model was born out of necessity—because most security tools couldn’t help you fix, and certainly couldn’t tell you what mattered in your environment.
But it leads to overloaded backlogs, unclear risk posture, and developer burnout.

Heeler takes a radically different approach: Fix most of right away. Then prioritize what’s left.

🔁 Flip the Model: Fix First, Then Prioritize

Traditional remediation starts with triage. But with Heeler, the fastest path to security is the opposite:

• Automatically fix what’s fixable — safe upgrade paths, validated PRs, even first-party code changes
• Clear out 70–80% of the backlog in days, not quarters

Now, instead of spending weeks debating CVSS scores or staring at dashboards, you’re actually moving the needle.

🧠 What’s Left Is Truly Worth Prioritizing

Once you’ve eliminated the bulk of fixable vulnerabilities, the remaining backlog becomes:

• Small
• Measurable
• Evidence-backed

You can now focus your team on what’s actually exploitable using Heeler's runtime threat modeling:

• Strategic, complex upgrades
• Refactoring legacy libraries
• Aligning remediation to compliance or business-critical systems

This nuanced work is where human effort belongs.

🛡️ Guardrails Prevent Recurrence—Without Slowing Devs Down

After remediation, Heeler locks in progress with runtime-aware Guardrails at the PR level:

• Block or flag risky dependencies before they merge
• Tailor enforcement to usage, reachability, and environment—not just package name
• Integrate directly with dev workflows, avoiding noise and false alarms

They’re precise, context-rich, and designed to keep developers moving while keeping risk out.

🧹 From Vulnerability Backlog to Continuous Software Hygiene

This model doesn’t just clean up a single sprint. It builds a better development culture:

• Libraries stay updated, not just when there’s a CVE
• Shared code evolves cleanly across services and repos
• Developers trust the signal—and the fix

Instead of creating friction between AppSec and engineering, Heeler becomes a force multiplier.

✅ Fix What’s Real. Prevent What’s Next. No Triaging Required.

Heeler lets you act, because our analysis is built in. It’s the difference between chasing risk reactively—and building secure, resilient software.
