Know Your Weaknesses Before Attackers Exploit Them
A systematic scan and analysis of your external and internal attack surface. Identifies known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated components — prioritised by real business risk.
What Is a Vulnerability Assessment?
A vulnerability assessment is a broad, systematic review of your systems to identify known security weaknesses. It's the first step in understanding your security posture.
Unlike a penetration test (which simulates a real attack), a vulnerability assessment focuses on identifying and cataloguing weaknesses across a wider surface area. It's faster, more affordable, and gives you a clear baseline.
We don't just run a scanner and hand you the output. Every finding is manually verified to eliminate false positives, and prioritised by actual business impact.
What We Cover
External Infrastructure
Public-facing servers, firewalls, load balancers, and exposed services.
Web Applications
OWASP Top 10 coverage check, security headers, TLS configuration.
Cloud Configuration
AWS/Azure security group review, public bucket detection, IAM basics.
Outdated Components
Software versions with known CVEs, unpatched systems, end-of-life software.
Misconfigurations
Default credentials, unnecessary services, verbose error messages, debug endpoints.
SSL/TLS
Certificate validity, protocol versions, cipher suite strength, HSTS configuration.
Vulnerability Assessment vs Penetration Test
| Aspect | Vulnerability Assessment | Penetration Test |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Broad scan + manual verification | Deep manual testing + exploitation |
| Scope | Wide — many systems | Focused — specific targets |
| Depth | Identifies known vulnerabilities | Finds unknown/logic vulnerabilities |
| Duration | 3-5 days | 5-20 days |
| Cost | From £395 | From £1,995 |
| Best for | Security baseline, compliance | Pre-launch, high-risk systems |
