What is a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan is a technical assessment which measures how secure your business is at protecting your data.
- It is based predominantly, on an automated scanning process which uncovers host operating system along with services running and then compares this list against a database of known vulnerabilities.
- The aim of the assessment is to present a list of targets which have vulnerabilities such as out of date software and misconfigurations which could be exploited to gain access to an internal protected environment or extract information.
- Whilst we carry out the testing using automated tools, our Vulnerability Assessments are carried out with a large degree of manual interpretation and assessment of findings so that the findings ultimately presented are both easy to understand and contain actionable next steps.
Certified by CREST and Offensive Security, our qualified testers employ real-world hacking techniques to uncover profound insights.

Do you want the ability to scan regularly?
Although the results of a vulnerability scans are not as detailed as a manual penetration test, regular scans are a good way to quickly detect and mitigate known security exposures. An in-depth penetration test will certainly give you a thorough snapshot of your current vulnerabilities. However, in between your next penetration test vulnerability scans can be used to detect weaknesses which may suddenly develop. After all, the more you know about the security of your applications and infrastructure, the better equipped you are to keep it safe from malicious intrusions.
