Introduced Remediation SLA for vulnerabilities, giving teams managerial control over remediation deadlines.

• Real-time deadline states based on severity and the asset's business impact: on-time, near-due (75% of time elapsed), breached, and resolved.
• Dashboard & filters: SLA states are visible in the dashboard and issue filters, so teams can prioritize what is about to breach or already breached.
• Proactive notifications (email/platform) alert the asset's responsible teams as deadlines approach or are exceeded.
• Purely managerial and monitoring-focused, it does not block deploys/builds/merges, does not change vulnerability status automatically, and does not trigger the Security Gate (which remains the independent enforcement mechanism).

Redesigned the manual vulnerability registration flow for simplicity and better usability.

• Creating a vulnerability manually is now much simpler, with the full process on a single page.
• The same usability improvements apply to editing, making it easier to update details such as a vulnerability's severity.
• A meaningful UI/UX optimization for anyone who registers vulnerabilities at scale.

Shipped several improvements across vulnerability visualization, retest projects, and evidence handling.

• Vulnerability details & timeline: clearer visualization of a vulnerability's details and history.
• Retest projects: status changes for vulnerabilities associated with retest-type projects.
• Projects Calendar: a new calendar tab on the projects page, improving planning and visibility of project schedules.
• Evidence on status change: attach evidence files when changing a vulnerability's status — including use cases such as associating a file with a risk acceptance — strengthening auditability and traceability across the lifecycle.

Standardized how Conviso DAST and other scans are handled within the platform's filtering and metrics engine.

• DAST is now fully standardized as a scanner source, removing distinct data paths that could cause discrepancies in "scan coverage" metrics.
• Assets covered by dynamic analysis are accurately reflected in dashboard KPIs, and filtering by integration type returns consistent, cross-platform results.
