Vulnerability Assessment
Recurring, automated scanning across your whole estate, authenticated where it counts, with findings de-duplicated, CVSS-scored and prioritised so your team fixes what matters first.
Overview
A vulnerability assessment gives you breadth: a systematic sweep of your networks, systems, applications and cloud to find known weaknesses before an attacker does. Where a penetration test goes deep on a defined scope, an assessment goes wide and repeats, so nothing drifts out of sight between engagements.
We run authenticated and unauthenticated scans across your estate on a scheduled cadence, then turn the raw scanner output into something you can act on, findings de-duplicated, CVSS-scored, prioritised by severity and asset criticality, and tracked to closure. It is broad, repeatable coverage by automation; when you need a human to safely exploit and confirm a finding, that is a penetration test.

What we cover
Tailored to your estate, the surface we routinely assess.
Web applications
Application-layer scanning for common vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and outdated components.
Cloud & containers
Configuration and exposure checks across AWS, Azure and GCP, plus container and image scanning.
Endpoints & servers
Missing patches, insecure configuration and end-of-life software across your fleet.
Authenticated scanning
Credentialed scans that see what an insider or compromised account would, far beyond a surface probe.
Remediation tracking
Findings tracked from discovery through to a follow-up scan that confirms the fix landed.
How we deliver
Every assessment follows the same backbone, adapted to your estate and goals.
Scope & asset discovery
We agree the estate in scope and build an accurate asset inventory, you can't assess what you don't know you have.
Baseline scan
Authenticated and unauthenticated scanning across the agreed scope to establish where you stand today.
Triage & scoring
We consolidate results across scanners, remove duplicates and noise, and score every finding by CVSS and the criticality of the affected asset.
Prioritisation
Every finding is ranked by CVSS score and the criticality of the affected asset, so your team fixes what matters first.
Reporting & remediation
Clear, actionable reports for technical and executive readers, with remediation guidance your engineers can follow.
Re-scan & trend
We re-scan after fixes and on a recurring cadence, trending your exposure over time rather than taking a one-off snapshot.
What you walk away with
Prioritised findings register
A de-duplicated, CVSS-scored list of scanner findings, ranked by severity and the criticality of the affected asset.
Executive summary
A business-readable view of your exposure and the trend since the last assessment.
Remediation guidance
Practical, step-by-step fixes mapped to each finding, written for the people who apply them.
Asset inventory
An accurate, up-to-date inventory of the systems in scope, refreshed each cycle.
Trend dashboard
Exposure tracked over time, open vs. closed findings, mean time to remediate, and direction of travel.
Compliance evidence
Audit-ready evidence supporting ISO 27001, NIS2 and similar requirements.
Questions worth asking
How is a vulnerability assessment different from a penetration test?
An assessment goes wide and repeats, a systematic sweep for known weaknesses across the whole estate. A penetration test goes deep on a defined scope and proves exploitation by hand. Most organisations need both: broad, frequent assessment plus periodic in-depth testing.
How often should we run one?
Quarterly is a common cadence, with monthly or continuous scanning for internet-facing and high-change environments. We'll recommend a rhythm that fits your risk and pace of change.
Will scanning disrupt our systems?
Scans are tuned to run safely against production, with rate-limits and exclusions agreed in advance. Anything more intrusive is scheduled into a maintenance window.
Does the assessment include manual verification?
No, a vulnerability assessment is automated scanning. It surfaces known weaknesses at breadth and on a cadence; because findings aren't hand-verified, results can include false positives. The value we add around the scan is the scope and credentials, de-duplication and CVSS scoring, prioritisation by asset criticality, clear reporting and remediation tracking. Manually confirming and safely exploiting findings is what a penetration test is for.
Does this support ISO 27001 and NIS2?
Yes. Regular vulnerability management is an explicit expectation of both, and the assessment produces the evidence to demonstrate it.
