Vulnerability assessment

Broad, regular coverage of known weaknesses, with false positives removed by hand.

  • External perimeter
  • Internal network
  • Servers and operating systems
  • Web applications and web servers
  • Cloud workloads

What it is

A vulnerability assessment identifies known weaknesses across your network, operating systems, web applications and web servers. It complements penetration testing: wider and more frequent, rather than deep.

Every result is checked manually so false positives are excluded and your team focuses only on real threats, classified by type and severity.

Our approach

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Build an accurate asset list for the agreed scope.

  2. 02

    Scanning

    Authenticated and unauthenticated scans, black box where required.

  3. 03

    Manual validation

    Remove false positives and confirm real exposure.

  4. 04

    Prioritise

    Rate by severity and exploitability so fixes go where they matter.

  5. 05

    Baseline

    Track progress from one assessment to the next.

What you receive

  • Validated vulnerability list
  • Severity and priority ratings
  • Corrective actions and mitigation steps
  • Trend comparison with the previous assessment
