Abstract: A method in one embodiment comprises defining a plurality of fields in a plurality of electronic documents, wherein the plurality of fields respectively correspond to governance, risk and compliance system data structures, identifying a plurality of relationships between the electronic documents based on one or more cross-references between fields of two or more different electronic documents of the plurality of electronic documents, and assigning respective ranks to the plurality of electronic documents based on the relationships. In the method, a query is received from a user device, and a listing of candidate documents of the plurality of electronic documents is retrieved in response to the query. Scores for respective ones of the candidate documents are computed based on at least the assigned ranks, and a response to the query is transmitted to the user device, wherein the response comprises the listing of candidate documents sorted according to the computed scores.

Abstract: A method includes scanning a subset of a plurality of processing nodes in a network for vulnerabilities, selecting a first one of the processing nodes not in the subset, and determining a similarity measure between the first processing node and at least a second one of the processing nodes in the subset identified as having a given vulnerability. Determining the similarity measure comprises determining a first similarity between vulnerabilities previously detected on the first and second processing nodes and determining a second similarity between attributes of the first and second processing nodes, the similarity measure being based at least in part on the first and second similarities. The method also includes identifying that the first processing node has the given vulnerability based at least in part on the similarity measure, and modifying access to the first processing node responsive to identifying that the first processing node has the given vulnerability.
