A vulnerability assessment maps technical weaknesses across your environment using automated scanning and targeted manual validation. Its goal is to provide a complete, prioritized inventory of vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
Unlike penetration testing, which focuses on exploitation and impact demonstration, a vulnerability assessment emphasizes coverage, accuracy, and actionable remediation. This service delivers continuous visibility into your security posture, helping you prioritize fixes and strengthen your defenses proactively.

Risk Prioritization
Define IP ranges, host lists, authentication parameters, and testing windows. Collect necessary credentials for authenticated scans when applicable.
Run environment-tuned vulnerability scanners and fingerprinting tools to identify assets, open ports, and known vulnerabilities. Include authenticated scanning where possible.
Manually verify critical and high-risk findings to remove false positives and confirm real exposure, providing accurate severity ratings and technical evidence.
Deliver a detailed report including an executive summary, scope, methodology, prioritized vulnerabilities with PoCs, business impact, risk ratings, and practical remediation steps. Present results in a restitution meeting.
Verify remediation effectiveness and ensure no new vulnerabilities were introduced during patching.
You can’t protect what you don’t see. A vulnerability assessment uncovers exposed assets, outdated software, and weak configurations before attackers do. It provides a clear, prioritized action plan to strengthen your defenses and maintain continuous security visibility.
Duration depends on scope and asset count:
Timelines include scoping, scanning, manual verification, and final reporting.
Authenticated scans and validation are designed to be low impact. Any potentially disruptive tests are pre-approved, scheduled, and performed under controlled conditions to ensure operational continuity.
We leverage industry-standard tools including Nessus, OpenVAS, Qualys, and Nmap for network and system scanning. Web and authenticated testing may also include Burp Suite, Nikto, or custom scripts. All automated results are manually reviewed to confirm accuracy and real-world exploitability.
