Security Assessment
Vulnerability Assessment
Authenticated scanning across your internal and external estate, manually validated to eliminate false positives and ranked by real risk.
- Authenticated internal and external network scanning
- Web application and API vulnerability discovery
- Cloud and container configuration review
Complete, prioritised visibility
Overview
A vulnerability assessment establishes the baseline: what is exposed, what is unpatched, what is misconfigured, and which of those things actually matter in your environment.
Raw scanner output is close to useless — it is voluminous, riddled with false positives, and rates severity without any knowledge of your business. We validate every significant finding by hand and re-rate it against what the affected asset actually does.
Our vulnerability assessment services combine authenticated vulnerability scanning with manual validation, so the report lists real issues rather than scanner noise. As a vulnerability assessment company that also runs IT, we can help fix what we find.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is vulnerability assessment?
A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of your systems to find security weaknesses such as missing patches, misconfigurations and exposed services, validate them and rank them by risk. It gives a prioritised list of what to fix; a penetration test then proves which weaknesses an attacker could actually exploit.
How is this different from penetration testing?
A vulnerability assessment aims for breadth — finding everything that might be weak. A penetration test aims for depth — proving what an attacker could chain together and achieve. Most organisations should run assessments continuously and penetration tests periodically.
How often should we do this?
Quarterly is a reasonable baseline for most organisations, with continuous scanning of internet-facing assets and an ad-hoc assessment after any significant infrastructure change.
