Vulnerability Assessment

A breadth-first sweep of your systems that finds, validates, and prioritizes weaknesses — giving leadership a clear, ranked picture of where risk actually lives.

What It Is

Know your weaknesses before attackers do.

A vulnerability assessment systematically scans and reviews your applications, hosts, and infrastructure to identify known weaknesses, misconfigurations, and missing patches. Unlike a penetration test's depth-first exploitation, an assessment prioritizes coverage — mapping your whole attack surface and ranking findings by risk.

Why It Matters

You can't fix what you can't see. Regular assessments give you a repeatable baseline, satisfy compliance requirements, and let you track your security posture improving over time — before a real incident forces the issue.

Our Approach

A repeatable, five-phase assessment cycle

Designed to be run once — or continuously — against a stable baseline.

01

Asset Discovery

Inventory the systems, services, and endpoints in scope.

02

Scanning

Automated and manual identification of known weaknesses.

03

Validation

Filtering false positives so you act on real risk.

04

Prioritization

Ranking by exploitability and business impact.

05

Reporting

Clear remediation guidance and a tracked baseline.

Deliverables

FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment emphasizes breadth by identifying, validating, and prioritizing weaknesses within scope. A penetration test goes deeper by validating selected weaknesses or attack paths under agreed rules. An organization may use both when both evidence needs apply.

How often should we run one?

There is no universal cadence. Frequency should reflect asset criticality, rate of change, obligations, and remediation capacity, with additional assessment after material changes when appropriate.

Will it disrupt production?

Assessments are designed to be low-impact, but testing risk cannot be eliminated completely. Potentially disruptive checks are scheduled and approved in advance, with agreed stop conditions.

Can you assess cloud environments?

Yes — AWS, Azure, and GCP configurations can be reviewed within an agreed scope against relevant guidance and defined threat scenarios.
