Assessment

Vulnerability Assessment

Authenticated scanning and triage that cuts through false positives.

What it is

Breadth rather than depth: a systematic sweep of your estate to find known vulnerabilities, missing patches and weak configuration, with every result validated by an analyst so your team spends its time on issues that are real and reachable here.

How we do it

  1. 1

    Scope and asset confirmation

    We agree the ranges, hosts and applications in scope and confirm ownership before scanning.

  2. 2

    Authenticated scanning

    Credentialed scans wherever possible — uncredentialed scanning misses most missing patches and guesses at the rest.

  3. 3

    False positive elimination

    Every finding is checked by an analyst against the actual host before it reaches your report.

  4. 4

    Exploitability triage

    We separate what is theoretically vulnerable from what is exploitable in your configuration.

  5. 5

    Risk contextualisation

    CVSS adjusted for exposure, compensating controls and business criticality of the asset.

  6. 6

    Trend tracking

    On recurring engagements we track whether remediation is outpacing new findings.

What's included

  • Credentialed scanning for accurate patch state
  • Analyst validation of every reported finding
  • Exploitability assessment, not raw CVSS
  • Asset-criticality weighting
  • Remediation grouped by fix, not by host
  • Trend reporting on repeat engagements

Who needs it

  • Organisations needing regular assurance across a broad estate
  • Teams with a compliance obligation for periodic scanning
  • Businesses building a patch programme and needing a baseline

Deliverables

  • Validated findings with false positives already removed
  • Remediation grouped so one action closes many findings
  • Asset risk ranking
  • Trend comparison against previous cycles

Frequently asked questions

This finds known vulnerabilities across many systems. A penetration test proves what an attacker can chain together on a few. Most organisations need this quarterly and a penetration test annually.
You can, and you should. The work we add is validating the output and cutting the false positives — scanner reports routinely contain hundreds of findings that are not exploitable in your configuration.
Quarterly suits most organisations; monthly if you are in scope for PCI DSS or changing infrastructure rapidly.
