Decide
Automatic change approvals
Your approval policy applied to every change, with human review reserved for the changes that deserve it
The problem it solves
Change approval rarely matches the actual risk. Low-risk changes wait in the same queue as high-risk ones, so under delivery pressure, approvals get waved through without real assessment just to keep releases moving.
Methodology
Assemble context
Cytix gathers everything relevant to the change before any decision is made: the affected asset, the environment it sits in, company policy, and any prior findings tied to that asset or area. This is the raw material the decision is based on.
Qualify against policy
Cytix assesses the change's security relevance against that context, then checks it against your own approval policy and risk thresholds.
Where the change clearly falls within policy, it's approved automatically without the need for manual sign-off. So decisions stay consistent even under delivery pressure.
Escalate what’s needed
Changes that don't clearly meet policy are escalated to a human reviewer instead of being pushed through or held indefinitely.
Whatever the outcome, whether automatic approval or human review, the decision and its rationale are attached to the change that triggered it, so the record exists whether or not a person was ever involved.
The best of both worlds
Automation for speed and consistency, human judgement for depth and complexity. With Cytix, you can have both.
Outcome
Attention where it matters
Low-risk changes stop taking up space in the review process, so attention is prioritised where it matters.
Outcome
Releases keep moving
Only high-risk changes wait for manual approval, so security stops being the default blocker without becoming a rubber stamp.
Outcome
Decisions linked to risk
Every approval carries a recorded decision and rationale tied to the change: defensible at audit, not reconstructed for it.
Outcome
Consistent policy, every time
The same approval standard applies whether it’s the first change of the day or the hundredth, under deadline pressure or not. No exceptions made to hit a release date.
