Penetration Testing
Vulnerability Assessment
You can't protect what you don't know is vulnerable. A Vulnerability Assessment provides a structured view of known security weaknesses across your environment, helping organizations identify, prioritize, and remediate risks before they can be exploited.
The risk
Why it matters
New vulnerabilities are disclosed every day, while IT environments continuously evolve through new systems, applications, and configuration changes. Without regular assessments, security gaps can accumulate unnoticed. A Vulnerability Assessment provides the visibility needed to prioritize remediation efforts and reduce overall risk.
Our approach
The assessment combines automated scanning across your environment with manual validation to reduce false positives and prioritize real risk.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How often should vulnerability assessments be conducted?
Quarterly at minimum, though monthly or continuous assessment is recommended for environments that change frequently.
Does a Vulnerability Assessment include exploitation of identified vulnerabilities?
No. A Vulnerability Assessment identifies and validates known vulnerabilities without attempting to exploit them. If you need to understand the real-world impact of identified weaknesses, a Penetration Test is recommended.
How is this different from a penetration test?
Vulnerability assessment identifies and catalogs known weaknesses. Penetration testing goes further, actively exploiting those weaknesses to demonstrate real-world impact.
Will scanning affect our live systems?
Scanning is calibrated to minimize disruption, with more intensive checks scheduled during low-traffic windows if needed.
