Vulnerability Assessment

Business growth, IT obsolescence and new technology trends mean that every businesses attack surface is constantly changing. Understanding and keeping on top of new security exposures is therefore essential for any business.


A Vulnerability Assessment is based on scanning your systems to uncover details of devices running on the network. These details are related to operating systems, software and services running. This is then compared to a database of known vulnerabilities.


After comparing detections to a live database, any vulnerabilities relating to out of date software and misconfigurations which could be exploited to gain access to an internal network or extract business critical data will be flagged and reported on, allowing you to apply remediations to remove the vulnerability.

This process offers a better understanding of your website's security flaws and overall risks, reducing the likelihood that a cyber-attack will happen and cause business issues.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Can a Vulnerability Assessment be carried out remotely?

    Not always. If you are having an “external” vulnerability assessment then, yes, this can be done remotely. However, if you are having an “internal” vulnerability assessment (i.e. scanning your internal network) then most cases we will need to be on site to do this. There are means and ways of doing this remotely. Speak to one of our Cyber Experts today and they will be able to assist you.

  • How long will a Vulnerability Assessment take to complete?

    This can depend on what your scope of assessment is. As a benchmark, if you were to have an “internal” and “external” network vulnerability assessment this will take at least two days. 

  • Will a Vulnerability Assessment impact normal operation?

    No, a Vulnerability Assessment will only gently “probe” the provided scope of assessment and get enough information to determine where the vulnerabilities lie. You will not notice an impact in normal operation and you will be able to continue your day to day business while we assess in the background.

  • How often should my business have a Vulnerability Assessment?

    We recommend that Vulnerability Assessments are carried out at least quarterly. Sometimes, there may be requirements to have Vulnerability Assessments monthly. If you are unsure about how often you should carry this out, please contact us today and one of our Cyber Experts will be happy to help.
