External Network Vulnerability Scan

Our External Network Vulnerability Scan service provides you with a cost-effective method of identifying network-level vulnerabilities in your organisation’s Internet-facing network services that could be exploited by an Internet-based attacker.

Using the latest scanning tools and techniques, our experienced consultancy team will conduct an automated vulnerability scan against your public IP address(es). Our tools use the very latest vulnerability feeds, so you can be assured that we will be scanning your network for most recently released vulnerabilities.

All of our Network Vulnerability Assessments come with a detailed scan report which is produced by our scanning tools.

All vulnerabilities are categorised in terms of risk and remediation actions are also provided in the report, so you can get further information on how to fix any vulnerabilities that we found.

Vulnerability Assessment Packages

We understand that our customer’s requirements and budget may vary between organisations. For this reason, we offer a tiered approach to our Vulnerability Assessment service so you only pay for what you actually need, with Bronze, Silver and Gold service tiers being available.

Bronze Package

Our Bronze Network Vulnerability Scan service provides you with a detailed scan report that indicates if your Internet-facing network contains the latest network-level vulnerabilities that were known about at the time of the assessment.

This cost-effective tier is ideal for smaller organisations that want peace of mind that their perimeter network is secure but don’t require a summary report to share with 3rd parties or stakeholders.

Silver Package

Our Silver Network Vulnerability Scan service contains everything in the Bronze tier; however, our consultancy team will also document the vulnerabilities in a summary report, which includes an executive summary and visual charts to display the criticality of the vulnerabilities found during the vulnerability assessment.

If we conduct vulnerability scans for your organisation on a regular basis (for example monthly or quarterly), our summary report will also contain a vulnerability trend analysis, which enables you to easily demonstrate to your organisation that your vulnerabilities have been reduced and mitigated after each scan has been performed.

Gold Package

Our Gold Network Vulnerability Scan service contains everything from the Bronze and Silver service tiers; however, we also provide you with expert consultancy support to help you understand and mitigate the vulnerabilities that were identified during the network vulnerability assessment.

Regular Vulnerability Scans

A Network Vulnerability Assessment provides you with a snapshot of the vulnerabilities that are present on your network perimeter at the time the scan was performed.

With new vulnerabilities being discovered all the time and your IT team potentially changing security configurations of your perimeter hosts and firewalls, it is generally recommended that organisation’s conduct regular vulnerability assessments in between their annual external penetration tests.

Regular vulnerability scans provide repeated testing of your network perimeter, identifying emerging weaknesses such as outdated software, misconfigurations, or newly discovered vulnerabilities. By performing network vulnerability scans frequently, your organisation can address these security gaps before they are exploited by malicious actors.

This proactive approach helps reduce the risk of cyber-attacks and ensures that any vulnerabilities are patched promptly – instead of waiting for them to be identified on next year’s external penetration test.
