Vulnerability
Assessment

Broad, systematic discovery and prioritisation of vulnerabilities across your systems — combining authenticated and unauthenticated scanning with expert triage to cut through the noise of raw scanner output.

Overview

Know every weakness, ranked by risk.

A vulnerability assessment gives you breadth — a comprehensive, prioritised inventory of the weaknesses across your estate. It is the ideal regular health-check between deeper penetration tests.

We run authenticated and unauthenticated scanning, then apply expert triage to remove false positives, confirm exploitability, and rank findings by real business risk. You get an actionable remediation list, not a 400-page scanner dump.


Coverage

FAQ

Vulnerability assessment FAQ

The questions we're asked most about scope, cost, and timing.

How much does a vulnerability assessment cost?
A vulnerability assessment typically starts around €2,000 and scales with the number of hosts and assets. Recurring managed assessments are priced per cycle. Use our estimator for a tailored figure.
What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment is broad and largely tool-driven with expert triage. A penetration test is deeper and manual — it actively exploits and chains issues to prove impact. Most organisations need both, at different cadences.
How often should we run a vulnerability assessment?
Quarterly or monthly for most organisations, continuously for higher-risk or compliance-driven environments, with annual penetration testing on top.
Do you remove false positives?
Yes — every finding is triaged and validated by an analyst, so you receive a clean, risk-ranked list.
Can this be a recurring managed service?
Yes — recurring assessments with trend reporting as part of a vulnerability-management programme.
What do you need to scope an assessment?
IP ranges, hostnames, or asset lists, and whether you want authenticated (credentialed) checks for deeper coverage.
Authenticated or unauthenticated scanning?
We recommend authenticated scanning where possible — it finds far more, including missing patches and weak configuration.
How is this different from a penetration test?
An assessment is broad and largely automated with expert triage; a penetration test is deep and manual, proving exploitability. Most organisations use both.
Can you run it on a schedule?
Yes — monthly or quarterly recurring assessments with trend reporting are available as a managed service.
Do you help prioritise remediation?
Yes — every finding is risk-ranked with clear remediation guidance so your team fixes what matters first.
