The DCSO Remediation Tracking Tool was developed during large scale security incidents to track remediation project/program milestones and progress. It enables quick information gathering and transparent global communication across different time zones during complex projects/programs, reducing the number of status calls significantly.
The Excel based tool integrates Outlook to create and send emails, containing the current status and links for the recipients to respond with a new status or an issue.
Using the customizable dashboard, it enables visualization of the progress in almost real-time, supporting managerial decisions and steering of remediation measures.
To operate the tool, Microsoft Office is required (VBA-Macro enabled Excel and Outlook).
For out-of-band communication, a cloud hosted email-provider (e.g. Office365) can be used to avoid communication on compromised infrastructure.
