Understand your business' security risk with a managed vulnerability assessment

Business growth, IT obsolescence and new technology trends mean that every organisation’s attack surface is constantly changing. Understanding and keeping on top of new security exposures is therefore central to effective cyber risk management.

What is a vulnerability assessment?

Redscan’s Vulnerability Assessment service helps to define, identify, classify and address weaknesses across your organisation’s on-premise and cloud networks. Integrating specialist scanning tools and experienced security professionals, it provides the advanced level of support needed to address core vulnerabilities and removes the administrative and maintenance burdens of conducting regular security evaluations in-house.

Key benefits of vulnerability testing

Gain visibility of assets

By analysing your network to identify and classify systems, applications and data, a Redscan vulnerability assessment helps you to understand how vulnerable your critical assets are to cyber-attacks.

Understand effectiveness of defensive controls

A Redscan vulnerability assessment reviews the capability of your internal and external defences to detect, limit and withstand the latest cyber threats. By thoroughly reviewing current technology, processes and procedures, we enable key stakeholders to clearly understand your organisation’s security posture.

Improve cyber security planning

Redscan prioritises your organisation’s cyber security risks to highlight those requiring greatest attention. This supports better allocation of defence resources and focus on areas of most concern.

Receive help addressing vulnerabilities

By providing support to help remediate any identified risks, Redscan’s Vulnerability Assessment service helps your organisation to reduce its attack surface, therefore preventing or limiting the damage a cyber breach could inflict.

What we assess

Redscan’s Managed Vulnerability Assessment service utilises a range of tools, custom scripts and in-house applications to comprehensively analyse your organisation’s IT network, inside and out.

Experienced cyber security professionals review the results of completed vulnerability scans to provide a clear summary report, key recommendations and threat remediation advice.

Our vulnerability testing service includes:

External perimeter testing

Business growth, the adoption of new technology, and trends such as cloud computing, mean that every organisation’s attack surface is always evolving. A Redscan Vulnerability Assessment identifies all systems and applications that are visible to the internet and assesses these to check that they are suitability hardened to prevent access to your organisation’s internal network.

Internal network testing

Recommended cyber security practice advises organisations to assume they have been compromised. This means that internal cyber security measures are as important as external ones. An internal vulnerability assessment identifies and classifies your organisation’s internal assets and assesses their weaknesses to determine ease of compromise.

Website assessment

A series of tests is performed to identify vulnerabilities affecting your organisation’s website. Identified problems include SQL and cross-site scripting problems, flaws in application logic and file inclusion errors.
