Vulnerability Scanning Services
Lifting the Lid on Your Attack Surfaces
A vulnerability scan or assessment offers a cost-effective and less intrusive way to identify potential weaknesses in your systems. Unlike a penetration test, which actively exploits vulnerabilities to assess impact, a vulnerability scan focuses on detection without disruption. This makes it ideal for regular scheduling, helping you stay ahead of threats without the complexity or expense of full-scale testing.

Our Vulnerability Assessment (VA) Services
External Network VA
Our External Vulnerability Assessment simulates real-world attacks on your public-facing infrastructure. Delivered remotely, it identifies exploitable weaknesses, like misconfigurations or outdated software, across web servers, firewalls, VPNs, and cloud assets, helping you proactively strengthen your perimeter security.
Internal Network VA
Our Internal Vulnerability Assessment simulates an attacker inside your network, scanning systems for weaknesses that enable lateral movement or data theft. Delivered onsite or remotely, it helps uncover risks beyond the perimeter, like misconfigurations, privilege flaws, and outdated software.
VA as a Service
Our Vulnerability Assessment as a Service delivers scheduled internal and external scans, offering consistent visibility and proactive risk management. It’s cost-effective too, our annual package costs less than two ad-hoc scans, making it a smart choice for ongoing security assurance.
Continuous VA
Agent-based vulnerability assessment uses lightweight software to monitor endpoints and cloud assets in real time, ideal for remote teams. It also enables patch deployment and verification, providing continuous visibility and remediation without relying on traditional network-based scanning.
Vulnerability Management
Our consultants offer ad hoc or managed support to identify, prioritise, and assess vulnerabilities. We help triage patching and recommend mitigation strategies beyond fixes, empowering informed decisions and effective risk management tailored to your organisation’s security needs.
Web Application Scanning
Our Web Application Scanning service identifies vulnerabilities in dynamic, browser-based apps that interact with backend systems. Using advanced tools, we deliver detailed reports and remediation guidance, helping secure your web apps against known and emerging threats.
Cloud VA
Our Cloud Vulnerability Assessment identifies risks across cloud infrastructure, including misconfigurations, exposed APIs, and outdated components. We scan virtual machines, containers, and serverless environments, prioritise findings, and provide actionable remediation guidance to help maintain a secure, compliant cloud posture.
DIY VA
For teams with cybersecurity expertise, our Do-It-Yourself Vulnerability Assessment offers tool resale, expert configuration support, and optional guidance. It enables accurate, repeatable assessments while giving your organisation full control over scanning and remediation processes.
Pen Test as a Service
Hybrid testing combines automated scans with targeted manual testing triggered by risk indicators. Findings are accessible via a central dashboard. This approach adapts to evolving threats and can reduce the frequency, and cost, of traditional penetration testing.
AdHoc Vulnerability Assessments
Our ad-hoc internal or external vulnerability scans offer a one-time assessment of your network, ideal for organisations needing a quick security snapshot without ongoing commitment.
You can choose between internal scans (simulating an attacker inside your network) or external scans (targeting your public-facing infrastructure). We offer a range of reporting options to suit different budgets and needs, from raw technical outputs to fully analysed reports with expert commentary and remediation advice.
Vulnerability Assessment as a Service
Our Managed Vulnerability Assessment Service provides scheduled internal and external scans to help you stay ahead of evolving threats. Delivered as a service, it offers consistent visibility into your security posture, without the burden of adhoc testing.
Regular scans not only enhance security but also deliver significant cost savings. For example, our internal scanning package offers year-round coverage at a cost comparable to 1.5 ad-hoc scans, making it a smart and efficient choice for proactive risk management.
External Vulnerability Assessment
Our External Vulnerability Assessment service is designed to simulate how a real-world attacker would probe your public-facing network infrastructure. By scanning the perimeter of your digital environment, including web servers, firewalls, VPN gateways, and cloud assets, we identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited from the outside.
This proactive approach helps uncover misconfigurations, outdated software, exposed services, and other weaknesses before they can be targeted by malicious actors. The assessment mimics external threat behavior without disrupting your operations, providing a realistic view of your security posture.
Our External Vulnerability Scan is delivered remotely.
Internal Vulnerability Assessment
While perimeter defenses are essential, they are not infallible. If an attacker successfully breaches your external defenses, whether through phishing, misconfiguration, or exploiting a known vulnerability, the next critical line of defense is your internal network.
Our Internal Vulnerability Assessment simulates the perspective of an attacker who has already gained a foothold inside your environment. It scans your internal systems, devices, and network segments to identify vulnerabilities that could allow lateral movement, privilege escalation, or data exfiltration.
Our Internal Vulnerability Scan is available onsite or remote.
Continuous Vulnerability Asessment
Agent-based continuous vulnerability assessment uses lightweight software agents installed directly on endpoints, servers, virtual machines, and cloud instances to provide real-time, persistent visibility into system vulnerabilities, configuration changes, and security posture, without relying on traditional network-based scanning. This is especially popular with clients who have remote or homeworking staff.
Another feature of using an agent, is the ability to install patches and confirm their deployment.
Vulnerability Management
Our consultants are available on an ad hoc basis or as part of a fully managed service, tailored to meet your organisation’s needs. the service includes the following:
- Identify and prioritise vulnerabilities across their infrastructure.
- Support triage and patching efforts, ensuring critical issues are addressed efficiently.
- Assess exploitability by reviewing the technical details of each vulnerability to determine whether the conditions for exploitation are present.
- Recommend mitigation strategies beyond patching, including configuration changes, access controls, or compensating controls where appropriate.
Our goal is to help clients make informed decisions about risk management and remediation, ensuring security measures are both effective and practical.
Web Application Scanning
Modern websites increasingly rely on interactive, dynamic content to deliver rich user experiences. This functionality is often powered by web applications running in the user's browser, which interact with backend systems to deliver personalised and responsive features.
However, if these applications are not properly secured, they can expose critical backend systems to exploitation.
Our Web Application Scanning (WAS) service uses advanced, industry-leading tools to identify vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit. We provide:
- Comprehensive scanning of your web applications for known and emerging threats.
- Detailed reporting outlining any vulnerabilities discovered.
- Clear remediation guidance to help you address issues effectively.
Managed Scanning Service
For ongoing protection, our Managed Web Application Scanning Service performs regular scans, monthly or more frequently if required, ensuring your web applications remain secure as they evolve.
Complementing our Cloud Vulnerability Assessment is our Cloud Configuration Consultancy Service, where our cloud experts review your configuration and help to remeidate any issues.
Cloud Vulnerability Assessment
