Vulnerability Scanning

As part of a robust cybersecurity strategy, regular vulnerability scanning is essential for identifying and addressing weaknesses before they can be exploited. We help organisations proactively manage cyber risk by delivering comprehensive vulnerability scanning services that support compliance, improve resilience and strengthen your overall security posture.

What’s Covered?

• Internal and external scanning
• Risk-based vulnerability reporting
• Remediation advice
• Compliance-focused assessments (e.g. PCI DSS, Cyber Essentials)
• One-off or regular scanning with historical data
• ASV attested reports for PCI DSS compliance

What is Vulnerability Scanning? 

Vulnerability scanning is the process of systematically identifying known security weaknesses in your systems, networks and applications. Using automated tools, we scan your environment for vulnerabilities and provide a detailed report with risk ratings. This helps you prioritise remediation efforts effectively.

Regular scanning ensures that your organisation stays ahead of emerging threats, maintains compliance with standards such as PCI DSS and verifies that existing controls are functioning as intended.

Vulnerability Scanning vs. Penetration Testing

Vulnerability scanning is an automated process that identifies known vulnerabilities. It is cost-effective, fast and suitable for regular use.

Penetration testing is a manual, in-depth assessment that simulates real-world attacks to test the effectiveness of your defences. It is typically performed less frequently but provides deeper insights.

We can help you determine which service is right for your organisation or how both can work together to enhance your cybersecurity posture.
