Uncover and Remediate the Technical Flaws Attackers Exploi
Your network, applications, and cloud environments are constantly changing, and so are the tactics of attackers. A Vulnerability Assessment is a technical “health check” that scans your systems to identify known security weaknesses, misconfigurations, and outdated software. Our service goes beyond automated scans, providing expert analysis to prioritize findings and deliver clear, actionable guidance to help your technical teams remediate the flaws that pose a genuine threat to your organization.
Our Vulnerability Assessment Process
We combine automated tools with human & AI intelligence to provide a realistic and actionable view of your technical security posture.
Our Vulnerability Assessment Process
We combine automated tools with human & AI intelligence to provide a realistic and actionable view of your technical security posture.
Scoping & Rules of Engagement
We define the scope of the assessment, including the specific IP addresses, applications, and systems to be tested. We establish clear rules of engagement to ensure the assessment is conducted safely and without disrupting your operations.
Scanning & Discovery
We use a suite of best-in-class commercial and open-source scanners to actively probe your systems for thousands of known vulnerabilities, open ports, and configuration weaknesses.
Validation & Analysis
This is where we add critical value. Our security experts manually validate the automated findings, eliminating false positives and analyzing the context of each vulnerability to determine its real-world exploitability and business impact.
Reporting & Remediation Guidance
We deliver a comprehensive report that clearly lists all validated vulnerabilities, ranked by severity (e.g., Critical, High, Medium, Low). Each finding includes detailed, practical guidance for your technical teams to fix the issue.
Key Deliverables & Outcomes
A comprehensive
Vulnerability Assessment Report (technical) and an Executive Summary (non-technical), providing actionable remediation guidance to demonstrably reduce the attack surface and enhance overall security posture.
Comprehensive VA Report
A detailed technical report outlining all identified vulnerabilities, their severity levels, and the systems they affect.
Executive Summary of Findings
A non-technical overview of the key findings and overall risk posture, suitable for management.
Actionable Remediation Guidance
Step-by-step instructions for your IT and DevOps teams to patch, reconfigure, or otherwise mitigate each identified vulnerability.
Reduced Attack Surface
By systematically identifying and closing security holes, you demonstrably reduce the avenues available for attackers to compromise your systems.
Who is This Service For?
- Organizations needing to satisfy the vulnerability management requirements of PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, or ISO 27001.
- Companies that want to proactively identify and fix security flaws before attackers find them.
- IT teams that need an independent, third-party validation of their patching and configuration management processes.
- Businesses preparing for a formal penetration test and wanting to fix the "low-hanging fruit" first.
F.A.Q.
A Vulnerability Assessment identifies a list of potential weaknesses. A Penetration Test (Pen Test) goes a step further and attempts to actively exploit those weaknesses to see how far an attacker could get. We often recommend starting with a VA.
Best practice is to run automated scans at least quarterly for external systems and monthly for internal systems. A formal, expert-validated assessment should be performed at least annually.
No. Our assessments are conducted using non-intrusive techniques. We establish clear rules of engagement to ensure the safety and stability of your production environment.
ISO 31000, ISO 27005, NIST guidance, and FAIR when appropriate for quantitative analysis.
Yes, with least-privilege credentials, strict handling, and secure storage of secrets.
Enterprise scanners, configuration checks, and manual validation by certified experts following industry standards.
