A scan you ran in March tells you about March. Code shipped, dependencies drifted, a header got dropped in a refactor, and your "clean" report is now fiction. The fix is boring and effective: scan on a schedule.
Pick a cadence that matches your change rate
If you ship daily, a weekly scan catches regressions before they age. If you ship monthly, monthly is fine. The point is that the cadence is automatic, so nobody has to remember. NANOTESTING runs scheduled scans per target and keeps the latest result as the source of truth for your dashboard and compliance posture.
Watch the delta, not the absolute
The first scan is a baseline. Every scan after that, the signal is the change. A new high-severity finding that was not there last week is worth a notification. A finding that disappeared is a fix worth confirming. Trend reports show the security score over time so you can see whether the line is going the right way.
Close the loop
Scanning without acting is theatre. Route new findings to wherever your team actually works, retest after a fix to confirm it landed, and let resolved findings drop off. Over a few cycles the recurring scan stops being a report you read and becomes a guardrail you forget is there, until it catches the thing you would have shipped.
