Vulnerability Assessment

Find vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Comprehensive security scanning and risk prioritization.

Risk-Based Framework

How We Work

Unlike automated scan-and-dump vendors, we validate findings and prioritize based on your actual risk. No more chasing false positives or patching systems that don't matter.

1

Scoping & Discovery

We identify all systems in scope, understand your environment, and configure scanning to minimize operational impact.

2

Vulnerability Scanning

Using commercial and open-source tools, we scan for known vulnerabilities across your infrastructure.

3

Validation & Triage

We manually validate critical findings to eliminate false positives and confirm real exploitability.

4

Risk Prioritization

Findings are prioritized based on exploitability, business impact, and exposure—not just CVSS scores.

5

Remediation Guidance

Each finding includes specific remediation steps, compensating controls, and verification methods.

What You Get

Vulnerability assessments are only useful if they drive action. Our reports are designed to get vulnerabilities fixed, not filed away.

Executive Summary

High-level overview of vulnerability landscape, risk exposure, and recommended priorities for leadership.

Validated Findings Report

Detailed vulnerability listings with validation status, false positive elimination, and confidence levels.

Risk-Ranked Remediation List

Actionable remediation priorities based on business risk, not just severity scores.

Framework Mapping

Vulnerabilities mapped to CIS Controls, NIST, or PCI requirements for compliance tracking.

Trend Analysis

For ongoing engagements, we track remediation progress and new vulnerability emergence over time.

Remediation Verification

We re-scan fixed vulnerabilities to confirm remediation success before closing findings.

Why Breach Craft for Vulnerability Assessment

Validation, Not Just Scanning

Anyone can run a scanner. We validate findings, eliminate false positives, and confirm that vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in your environment.

Business-Context Prioritization

A critical vulnerability on an isolated test server isn't the same as one on your payment system. We prioritize based on your business reality.

Compliance-Ready Reports

Our reports satisfy PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 requirements with proper evidence documentation and control mapping.

Remediation Support

Stuck on a fix? We're available to help troubleshoot remediation challenges and verify successful patching.

Ongoing Programs

We offer continuous vulnerability management programs with regular scanning, trend analysis, and remediation tracking.

Common Questions

How is this different from penetration testing?

Vulnerability assessment identifies known weaknesses using scanning tools. Penetration testing goes further by actively exploiting vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact. Vulnerability assessment is broader but shallower; penetration testing is deeper but more focused.

How often should we run vulnerability assessments?

At minimum, quarterly for compliance. We recommend monthly or continuous scanning for dynamic environments. After major infrastructure changes, run assessments immediately.

Will scanning disrupt our systems?

Authenticated scanning can occasionally impact performance on older systems. We schedule scans during maintenance windows for sensitive systems and tune scan intensity to minimize impact.

Do you provide the scanning tools?

Yes, we bring our own commercial and open-source scanning infrastructure. For continuous programs, we can also help you implement and tune your own vulnerability management tools.

What about cloud environments?

We assess AWS, Azure, and GCP configurations using cloud-native and third-party tools. Cloud assessments include IAM review, storage permissions, network security groups, and service configurations.
