VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT SERVICE
Are your IT systems vulnerable?
IT security is complex; whether you are technical or not, identifying your vulnerabilities and understanding and addressing the risks is not always straightforward.
Our vulnerability scanning and assessment services, undertaken by our team of experienced professionals utilising leading methodologies and tools, help you identify and assess risks to your organisation so you can implement a plan to resolve any issues.
What are vulnerability scans and vulnerability assessments?
User devices and IT networks are prone to cyber-attacks due to incorrect configurations, unsupported software, viruses, and missing updates. Vulnerability scanning helps your organisation diagnose vulnerabilities in your software and supporting infrastructure before an attack or compromise can take place.
A vulnerability assessment seeks to thoroughly examine each device/network using a range of specialist scanning tools to identify if they are at risk of compromise. They help you identify, analyse, categorise and report any security vulnerabilities in your operating systems and devices, so you can categorise and prioritise any necessary remedial actions accordingly. This enables your IT security team to take timely actions to rectify any security defects, ensuring your systems and data remain protected.
Regular vulnerability assessments are recommended, as best practice, to address existing and future risks. Organisations continually update IT systems, software, and hardware, and as a result new vulnerabilities are continually introduced.
What are the benefits of a vulnerability assessment?
Vulnerability assessments are required in order for your business to meet certain compliance requirements, for example; if you are looking to achieve Cyber Essentials Plus or ISO 27001 certification, in order to qualify for government contracts, and they may be mandatory for certain commercial contracts.
A vulnerability assessment, in conjunction with an ongoing vulnerability management programme, can not only help you identify and fix security weaknesses and improve your security positioning, but it also gives your customers confidence and reassurance that their data is safe in your hands.
