Overview

Snoozes temporarily pause follow-up on vulnerabilities and policy violations for a fixed duration. Use snoozes when the item remains valid, but the team needs time for remediation, an upstream fix, or a planned review window. Snoozes keep the item visible in Cysmiq while recording who requested the pause, how long it should last, and whether approval was required. When a vulnerability is snoozed, related open or pending-review policy violations for that vulnerability are snoozed for the same window.
Availability depends on your Cysmiq plan.
After snoozes are enabled:
  • Snoozes appears in the workspace navigation
  • Workspace owners can configure governance from Snoozes
  • Vulnerability and policy violation action menus include Snooze

​
Governance settings

The Snoozes settings page has separate governance sections for Policy violations and Vulnerabilities. Each section supports the same settings: Default settings:

​
Scope overrides

Snooze governance can be configured at these scopes:
  • Workspace
  • Organization
  • Repository
  • Application
Selected scopes inherit effective settings from broader scopes until an override is saved. Use Reset overrides to clear local settings and return the selected scope to inherited behavior.

​
Request workflow

Users request snoozes from the Snooze action on a vulnerability or policy violation. The request form includes: After the user selects Request snooze, Cysmiq either applies the snooze immediately or creates a pending request based on the effective Require approval setting.

​
Review workflow

Pending requests show who requested the snooze and the requested duration. Available actions depend on the user’s role and relationship to the request: Approving a request applies the snooze and increments the item’s snooze count. Rejecting or canceling a pending request leaves the item active. Clearing an active snooze ends the current snooze window.
