Managed Vulnerability & Exposure Management

Scanning is easy. Knowing which twelve of nine thousand findings actually matter this week, and making sure they get fixed, is the hard part. That is the part we run.

The problem

Why scanning alone does not reduce risk

If more than one of these sounds familiar, this service is likely to be a good fit. If none of them do, say so on a call and we will point you at the service that is.

  • The scanner produces thousands of findings and the report goes straight into a folder.
  • Everything critical is treated as equally urgent, so the genuinely exploitable issues queue behind the rest.
  • Nobody tracks whether a finding was actually remediated, or just closed.
  • Assets exposed to the internet appear without security knowing — shadow IT, forgotten test environments, expired certificates.
What you get

What the service covers

Continuous scanning

Authenticated and unauthenticated scanning across internal, cloud and external estate, on a schedule that suits your change rate.

External attack surface

Ongoing discovery of internet-facing assets, exposed services, certificate issues and infrastructure you did not know you had.

Risk-based prioritisation

Findings ranked by exploitability, known active exploitation and asset criticality — not raw CVSS. The short list is genuinely short.

Remediation tracking

Every prioritised finding tracked through to verified closure, with re-scan confirmation rather than an assurance that it was fixed.

Threat intelligence context

Alerting when a vulnerability in your estate moves into active exploitation, so priority reflects what attackers are doing now.

Trend & SLA reporting

Monthly reporting on exposure over time, mean time to remediate and SLA performance by asset tier.

The method

How the service operates

Four stages, each with a defined output — so you always know what you are getting and when.

  1. Onboard & discover

    We deploy or connect to scanning capability, establish the asset inventory and agree criticality tiers and remediation SLAs.

  2. Scan & triage

    Scans run on schedule. We triage the output, remove false positives and produce a prioritised action list your team can work straight from.

  3. Drive remediation

    Findings are raised into your existing ticketing workflow, chased through to closure and verified by re-scan.

  4. Report & tune

    Monthly reporting on trend and SLA performance, with scan configuration and prioritisation tuned as the estate changes.

The outcome

What changes for you

The point of the engagement is not the report. It is that these things become true about your organisation — and stay true after we have gone.

FAQs

Vulnerability & Exposure Management — your questions answered

Do we need to buy a scanning platform?
Not necessarily. We work with the tooling you already own where it is fit for purpose, and provide scanning capability as part of the service where it is not. We will tell you plainly which situation you are in.
Is this a penetration test?
No. This is continuous, automated coverage across your whole estate with expert triage on top. A penetration test is a point-in-time, manual, adversarial exercise against a defined target. They are complementary — this service typically makes your next penetration test considerably less expensive.
Will scanning disrupt our production systems?
Scan intensity, timing and scope are agreed with you before anything runs, and sensitive systems are handled with tuned, non-intrusive profiles. Disruption is rare and we plan explicitly to avoid it.
Do you fix the vulnerabilities as well?
Standard service prioritises, tracks and verifies; your IT team or MSP applies the fix. Where you would rather we handle remediation directly, that can be added — we will scope it against your change management process.
