Vulnerability assessment

Regular checks for known weaknesses, ranked so your team knows what to fix first.

The problem

New vulnerabilities are published every day, and you cannot tell which ones affect you.

Scanner output runs to hundreds of pages, and your team has no time to sort the real risks from the noise.

What’s included

  • Scoping and written authorisation
  • Authenticated and unauthenticated scanning
  • Validation of important findings
  • Prioritisation by exposure and business impact
  • Trend reporting across scans

Deliverables

  • Prioritised findings report
  • Remediation list by system owner
  • Trend report for repeat assessments

How it works

  1. Assess & understand

    We agree the systems, scan windows and credentials to use.

  2. Design & plan

    We configure scans to suit your environment and limits.

  3. Implement & configure

    We run the scans, then validate and rank the results.

  4. Test & handover

    We present what matters most and how each issue can be fixed.

Frequently asked questions

How often should we scan?

Quarterly suits many organisations. Internet-facing systems and high-risk environments benefit from more frequent scans.

Why use authenticated scanning?

Logging in lets the scanner see installed software and patch levels, so results are more complete and accurate.

Does this replace a penetration test?

No. It gives broad coverage of known issues, while a penetration test shows how weaknesses can be used together.
