A long list of weak spots doesn't help. A short list of fixable ones does.
Every week, new flaws in popular software get announced publicly. Attackers start using them within a day or two. We scan your systems on a regular schedule, sort the real risks from the noise, and dispatch the fix to the person who can actually do it.
Vuln scan, pen-test, ASM — what each gives you.
These are often sold as alternatives. They are not. They are layers.
| Vuln scan only | Vuln scan + managed remediation | Continuous automated pen-test | Annual external pen-test | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cadence | Weekly | Weekly | Continuous | Annual |
| Depth | Surface-level | Surface-level | Exploitability-validated | Deep, narrow scope |
| Exploitability validation | No | Partial | Yes (automated) | Yes (manual) |
| Regulatory acceptance | Yes (PCI-DSS quarterly) | Yes | Emerging | Yes (compliance gold) |
| Catches zero-days early | No | Triage support | Sometimes | No |
| Typical annual cost band | $ | $$ | $$$ | $$ |
What we scan, and when.
- 01
External attack surface
ASM-style discovery of every internet-exposed asset that ties back to your firm — including shadow IT spun up by departments who forgot to tell you.
- 02
Internal authenticated scan
Credentialed scans inside the network catch what unauthenticated scans miss — service accounts, weak hashes, misconfigurations.
- 03
Web application scan
OWASP Top 10 + authenticated crawling against your web properties. Monthly baseline, on-demand for new releases.
- 04
Cloud configuration scan
AWS, Azure, GCP misconfiguration scanning. Public S3 buckets, overly-permissive IAM, unencrypted disks.
- 05
Mobile / API where applicable
Mobile binary analysis and API endpoint testing for firms with public-facing apps or partner integrations.
The cycle that doesn't drown you.
Most teams get a 4,000-line CVE report monthly and patch nothing because everything is urgent. We do the triage so they don't.
- 01
Discover
Every IP, hostname, subdomain, cloud asset. We assume your inventory is incomplete — because it always is.
- 02
Assess
Active scan against every discovered asset across all five surfaces (external, internal, web, cloud, mobile).
- 03
Prioritize — by exploitability, not CVSS
CVSS 9.8 on an internal server with no external path is less urgent than CVSS 7.2 on your edge proxy. We score by reachability × asset criticality × known exploitation.
- 04
Dispatch with owners
Tickets go to the people who can fix them, with patch references and rollback notes. Not to a shared inbox.
- 05
Verify next scan
Closed-loop confirmation. If the next scan finds it again, it wasn't actually fixed.
- 06
Board-ready report
Monthly: % of critical CVEs remediated within SLA, exposure trend, top open risks, what changed.
Platforms we run.
When the next Log4j-class CVE drops on a Friday.
This isn't a hypothetical. It will happen again — and the response window is hours, not days.
- T+0:00Public disclosure. Our threat intel feed flags it as emergency-class.
- T++1hEmergency scope-scan dispatched against every external asset for the affected component.
- T++2hExposure inventory: every host running the vulnerable version, with owner and patch path.
- T++3hVendor patch tracking begins; we monitor every dependency's official advisory.
- T++4hCompensating controls dispatched (WAF rule, network rule, feature flag) for anything not patchable same-day.
- T+EODClient phone call. Written exposure brief. Patch plan with timelines per host.
Who needs this.
- Anyone in PCI-DSS scope — quarterly external ASV scans are mandatory.
- Cyber-insurance applicants in 2026 — vulnerability management is now a baseline underwriting question.
- SaaS and B2B service vendors selling into regulated buyers (SOC 2 CC7.1 demands it).
- Firms that haven't pen-tested in 12+ months, or whose last pen-test was 'we ran Nessus and called it pen-testing.'
- Anyone with cloud infrastructure (which is everyone) — misconfiguration is the #1 cloud incident cause in 2026.
Q01How is this different from antivirus?
How is this different from antivirus?
Antivirus reacts to malware that's already on your endpoints. Vulnerability management finds the doors and windows attackers would walk through to install that malware in the first place.
Q02What's the difference between a vuln scan and a pen test?
What's the difference between a vuln scan and a pen test?
A vuln scan finds known weaknesses. A pen test (manual or automated) tries to chain weaknesses into actual access — proving exploitability. Both matter. Compliance often demands one of each.
Q03Why continuous, not annual?
Why continuous, not annual?
In 2026 the average time from CVE publication to active exploitation is 24-48 hours. An annual scan plus annual pen-test gives attackers up to 364 days of head start on every new vulnerability.
Q04What about my cloud and SaaS apps?
What about my cloud and SaaS apps?
Covered. CSPM (cloud security posture management) tools scan AWS/Azure/GCP for misconfiguration; SaaS-specific tools catch over-permissioned tokens and stale OAuth grants in Salesforce, Workday, Google Workspace, M365.
Q05What's ASM and do I need it?
What's ASM and do I need it?
Attack Surface Management discovers what you actually have exposed to the internet — including shadow IT, dev environments, marketing landing pages, acquired-company assets. Every firm we've ever scanned had assets they didn't know about. Yes, you need it.
Free 7-day external attack surface scan.
We'll show you what's exposed to the internet that you didn't know was yours. No agents, no install — just the view an attacker has.
