Vulnerability Scanning
Vulnerability scanning is like having a security guard with a checklist, systematically examining your IT systems and applications for weaknesses.
These weaknesses, known as vulnerabilities, can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorised access or disrupt operations.
Points of Interest in Vulnerability Scanning
Regular vulnerability scans help identify these potential security gaps before they can be used in a cyberattack.
Prioritisation
Scans don't just identify vulnerabilities, they prioritise them based on exploitability and potential impact. This helps you focus on patching the most critical ones first.
Continuous Scanning
Regular scans are essential, as new vulnerabilities are discovered all the time. Continuous scanning provides real-time updates on your security posture.
Reporting & Alerting
Vulnerability scans generate detailed reports that highlight identified vulnerabilities and their severity levels. These reports can be used to create alerts for critical vulnerabilities, allowing for a swift response.

Benefits of Vulnerability Scanning
Reduced Attack Surface
By identifying and fixing vulnerabilities, you make it harder for attackers to gain a foothold in your systems.
Improved Security Posture
Regular scanning helps you maintain a strong security posture by proactively addressing vulnerabilities.
Compliance
Vulnerability scanning can help meet regulatory compliance requirements for data security.
Prioritised Remediation
Vulnerability scans help you focus on patching the most critical weaknesses first, maximizing your security investment.
Faster Incident Response
Knowing your vulnerabilities beforehand allows for a quicker and more targeted response to potential security incidents.
Cost-Effectiveness
Compared to penetration testing, vulnerability scanning is a more cost-effective way to identify and address security weaknesses.
The Selected Cyber Process
Getting Started
Let’s get the ball rolling with a discovery call. This informal chat is a chance to discuss your needs and goals, and see if we’re a good fit for each other.
The Offer
Based on our conversation, we’ll create a bespoke proposal outlining our approach, timeline, and pricing options.
The Agreement
Once you’re happy with the proposal, we’ll move on to finalising the details. This involves sharing and reviewing the contracts and terms to ensure we’re both on the same page.
Service Delivery
Here’s where the magic happens! We’ll get cracking on delivering the services outlined in the agreement, keeping you informed throughout the process.
Washing Up
Once everything is complete, we’ll schedule a final wrap-up call to discuss the project’s outcome and answer any lingering questions you may have. We can also explore potential next steps if there’s any further collaboration you’d like to discuss.
Ready to get started?
Contact us today for a free consultation. We’ll discuss your specific needs and recommend the best service for your organisation. Let’s work together to build a robust security shield and keep your systems safe from evolving cyber threats.
Following an initial consultation and guided by your objectives, we’ll work with you to build a bespoke engagement.
We can capture this initial scoping information via a screen-sharing call, a scoping form or where necessary, an in-person meeting.
During this phase, our expert teams will use the latest tactics, techniques and procedures to gather as much security information as possible about the in-scope targets.
Our expert teams use the latest security tooling and industry knowledge & expertise to conduct detailed analysis, discovering vulnerabilities within your chosen scope.
Using bespoke tooling, exploits and off-the-shelf software, our expert teams will safely look to understand and exploit the vulnerabilities discovered within the context of your scope.
During this phase, our expert teams will apply contextualised information relating to the discovered vulnerabilities. This might be a combination of CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System), Impact or Probability or even EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System). They’ll also look to elevate privileges and pivot into other systems (where appropriate).
During the conclusion of the engagement our expert teams will create a comprehensive report with their findings. The report will include an executive summary, details on vulnerabilities and confirmed proof-of-concept exploitations. We also encourage our testers to use plain English and to provide further info to help speed up remediation activities.
Following you recieving and reviewing the report, we’ll arrange a wash-up session to allow you to discuss the findings with the pen tester and also talk about follow-up consultancy.
