Continuous Vulnerability Scanning

Ongoing, Automated Scanning Between Your Annual VAPT

Systematic, CVSS-scored vulnerability scanning across your network, web applications, and cloud environment — run on a recurring schedule (not a one-off project) so new exposures are caught within days, not at next year's penetration test. Prioritized remediation plans you can actually act on.

Service Types

Vulnerability Assessment Across Every Layer

🌐

Network Vulnerability Assessment

Comprehensive scanning of internal and external IP ranges. Identifies open ports, unpatched services, weak configurations, default credentials, and network segmentation gaps.

✓
External perimeter scan
✓
Internal network sweep
✓
Firewall rule review

💻

Web Application Vulnerability Assessment

Automated and manual testing of web applications and APIs against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities — injection flaws, authentication weaknesses, sensitive data exposure, and more.

✓
OWASP Top 10 coverage
✓
API security testing
✓
Authentication review

☁️

Cloud Vulnerability Assessment

Assessment of cloud infrastructure configurations (AWS, Azure, GCP) — IAM policies, storage permissions, security group rules, encryption settings, and logging configurations.

Methodology

How We Conduct Vulnerability Assessments

Our assessments combine industry-leading scanning tools with manual analyst review — ensuring low false positives and actionable findings.

Scope Definition
Define IP ranges, URLs, or cloud accounts in scope. Agree on scanning windows to minimize operational impact.

Automated Discovery & Scanning
Run comprehensive vulnerability scans using Nessus, OpenVAS, and purpose-built web scanners against defined targets.

Analyst Review & Validation
Manual analyst review to eliminate false positives, validate critical findings, and add business context to technical findings.

Prioritized Reporting & Remediation Plan
Deliver CVSS-scored report with remediation guidance, prioritized by risk level and suggested remediation timeline.

VA vs Pen Test

Vulnerability Assessment vs Penetration Test — What's the Difference?

Vulnerability Assessment

✓
Identifies and catalogues potential vulnerabilities
✓
Primarily automated with analyst review
✓
Broad coverage across all systems
✓
Faster and more cost-effective
✓
Suitable for frequent, regular scanning

Penetration Test

✓
Actively exploits confirmed vulnerabilities
✓
Highly manual, targeted, and creative
✓
Demonstrates real business impact
✓
Deeper findings on specific targets
✓
Typically annual or post-change

Recommendation: Run vulnerability assessments quarterly to maintain visibility, and conduct penetration testing annually or after significant infrastructure changes for deeper validation.

FAQs

Vulnerability Assessment — Common Questions

How often should vulnerability assessments be conducted?+

ISO 27001:2022 Annex A Control 8.8 (Management of technical vulnerabilities) requires timely identification and remediation of technical vulnerabilities. Best practice is quarterly vulnerability assessments for internet-facing systems, and at minimum bi-annually for internal infrastructure. Many organizations run monthly automated scans as part of their vulnerability management program, with quarterly analyst-reviewed assessments for formal reporting.

Will the vulnerability scan affect our systems or cause downtime?+

Standard vulnerability assessments are designed to be non-disruptive. We use scanning profiles calibrated to avoid overwhelming systems, and we can schedule scans during off-peak hours. For fragile or legacy systems, we use lighter scanning profiles and coordinate closely with your team. In over 10 years of conducting VAs, our team has not caused production downtime through assessment activities.

What does CVSS scoring mean in practice?+

CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) scores vulnerabilities on a 0–10 scale based on exploitability, impact, and scope. Critical (9.0–10.0) and High (7.0–8.9) vulnerabilities should be remediated within 24–72 hours. Medium (4.0–6.9) within 30 days. Low (0.1–3.9) within 90 days. We translate CVSS scores into a practical 30/60/90-day remediation plan in every VA report.

Do you provide support during the remediation process?+

Yes. Every VA engagement includes a technical debrief where our team walks your IT and security staff through the findings and recommended fixes. For critical vulnerabilities, we provide detailed remediation guidance and are available to answer questions during the patching process. We can also conduct a retest 2–4 weeks after remediation to confirm that critical and high-severity vulnerabilities have been successfully closed.
