External Vulnerability
Scanning
Your organization’s external attack surface is constantly under scrutiny by threat actors searching for vulnerabilities to exploit. Our External Vulnerability Scanning service identifies and prioritizes vulnerabilities in your internet-facing assets before malicious actors can take advantage of them.
Why Vulnerability Scanning Matters
External vulnerability scanning is your first line of defense against cyber threats targeting your organization’s perimeter. With the average cost of a data breach now exceeding $4.5 million, regular external vulnerability scanning is no longer optional, it’s essential for:
Identifying Vulnerabilities
Assess your internet-facing infrastructure before malicious actors can discover and exploit them, giving you the advantage in protecting your critical assets.
Meeting Compliance Requirements
PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2 and other similar compliance requirements and frameworks explicitly mandate regular vulnerability assessments as part of their security controls.
Satisfying Cyber Insurance Mandates
Perform regular security testing, which is increasingly becoming a prerequisite for coverage approval and favorable premium rates.
Reducing Your Overall Risk Posture
Through proactive vulnerability management that systematically identifies, prioritizes, and addresses security gaps before they can be weaponized.
Preventing Costly Breaches
Address vulnerabilities before exploitation occurs, potentially saving millions in breach response costs, regulatory fines, and reputational damage.
Our Expert Approach
We go beyond automated scanning to deliver comprehensive vulnerability intelligence that enables informed security decisions:
Discovery & Mapping
We begin by identifying all publicly accessible assets including web applications and services, cloud resources, email systems, remote access points, DNS configurations, and network infrastructure.
Comprehensive Vulnerability Identification
Our multi-layered methodology combines industry-leading technologies, custom-developed testing techniques, multiple scanning perspectives, and regular update cycles to detect emerging vulnerabilities.
Expert Validation & Analysis
Unlike automated-only services, our experts manually verify results to eliminate false positives, evaluate vulnerability context and exploitability, assess potential business impact, and prioritize findings based on actual risk to your organization.
Clear, Actionable Reporting
You receive detailed documentation including an executive summary for leadership, risk-based prioritization of findings, technical details for implementation teams, step-by-step remediation guidance, and comparative metrics to track security improvements.
Remediation Support
Our service doesn’t end with a report. We provide a guided walkthrough of findings, tactical and strategic recommendations, verification testing after remediation, and continuous improvement planning.
Multiple Service Options
Security Sound Solutions to Support Your Path to Success
Point-in-Time Testing
For organizations needing a snapshot assessment of their current security posture. This assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of your external attack surface, ideal for baseline assessments, pre-audit preparation, or validating security after major infrastructure changes.
Monthly External Testing
For organizations with rapidly changing environments or higher security requirements. This service delivers monthly comprehensive external scans, retests after remediation, detailed monthly reports, a dedicated security consultant, and regular security briefings.
Quarterly External Testing
Our recommended approach for most organizations, providing regular visibility into your changing external attack surface. You'll receive four comprehensive external scans per year, retests after remediation, plus priority access to our security consultants.
