Vulnerability Assessments

External Vulnerability Assessment

Continuous, prioritised assessment of your internet-facing attack surface, finding exposed services, misconfigurations and unpatched software before an attacker does, with validated results.

How it works

Inside External Vulnerability Assessment

01

Full External Discovery

You cannot assess what you do not know you expose. Forgotten hosts and shadow assets are where risk hides.

Our methodology

We discover your complete internet-facing footprint, then assess every exposed host and service for known vulnerabilities and weak configuration.

  • External surface
  • Coverage
02

Validated, Not Just Flagged

Raw scanner output buries teams in false positives and noise.

Our methodology

We validate findings to remove false positives and prioritise by real exploitability and business impact, so your team acts on what matters.

  • Validated
  • Prioritised
  • Low noise
03

Actionable Remediation

A finding is only useful if it can be fixed and proven closed.

Our methodology

Each issue ships with clear remediation, risk rating and CVE references where relevant, and can be retested to confirm the fix.

FAQ

External Vulnerability Assessment FAQs

What is an external vulnerability assessment?

It is a prioritised assessment of your internet-facing attack surface, discovering exposed hosts and services and identifying known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and unpatched software, with findings validated to remove false positives.

How is it different from a penetration test?

An assessment identifies and prioritises vulnerabilities across your surface at breadth. A penetration test goes deeper, actively exploiting and chaining findings to prove impact. Many organisations run assessments continuously and penetration tests periodically.

How often should we run it?

Your external surface changes constantly, so many clients run external assessments on a recurring schedule to catch new exposure between penetration tests.

Do you remove false positives?

Yes. We validate findings so you receive a prioritised, actionable list rather than raw scanner output.
