How verification works

When you mark a finding as resolved, Beacon schedules a verification check. On the next scan:
  1. Beacon re-runs the relevant check against your AWS account
  2. If the finding no longer appears, it’s marked Verified
  3. The financial exposure is removed from your active total
  4. The actual cost reduction (if measurable) is recorded as verified savings

Manual verification trigger

Forces an immediate re-check rather than waiting for the next scheduled scan.

What if verification fails?

If the finding reappears after being marked resolved:
Beacon re-opens the finding, notifies the owner, and restores the exposure to your total.
