Threat & Vulnerability Management
Know which weaknesses in your estate attackers are most likely to use, and get them fixed first. Continuous scanning, risk-based prioritisation and verified remediation.
Service Details
Threat and vulnerability management gives you a continuous view of the weaknesses in your estate and a ranked list of which to fix first. We find your assets, scan them on a schedule, prioritise findings by how likely they are to be exploited, and track each one until a rescan proves it is fixed.
The service sits within our assessments and engineering work. You get fewer, clearer actions each cycle and trend data showing your exposure going down over time.
INFO
You stop working through thousands of scanner results and start fixing the handful that attackers are most likely to use.
Findings that get fixed, not filed
Most organisations can produce a vulnerability report. Fewer can say which findings matter, who owns each fix and what has actually been remediated. Without triage, the critical few get lost among the trivial many, and the same issues reappear every quarter.
We give every finding an owner and a deadline. Repeat findings are escalated rather than quietly recurring, and you can see your open risk shrinking from one report to the next.
What threat and vulnerability management covers
Everything you need to find, rank and close weaknesses across your estate:
Asset Discovery
An up-to-date inventory of servers, endpoints, cloud services and applications, so nothing goes unscanned.
Continuous Scanning
Authenticated scans of infrastructure, cloud and endpoints on an agreed cadence, not once a year.
Risk-Based Prioritisation
Findings ranked using CVSS severity, EPSS exploit likelihood, the CISA KEV catalogue and your business context.
External Attack Surface
Regular checks of your internet-facing domains, services and forgotten systems, the view an attacker starts with.
Threat Intelligence
Newly exploited vulnerabilities matched against your assets, so urgent issues are flagged between scheduled scans.
Reporting and Trends
Open risk, ageing findings and fixes verified over time, in reports your board and auditors can follow.
How we run your programme
You get a repeatable cycle that turns scan results into closed findings.
- Baseline — We map your assets, agree scope and scan windows, and run a first set of authenticated scans to see where you stand.
- Agree remediation timescales — Together we set target fix times by risk level, matched to your obligations such as Cyber Essentials.
- Scan and prioritise — Scans run on schedule, and each finding is ranked by exploit likelihood, exposure and the data it touches.
- Assign and fix — Prioritised tickets go to your team with clear guidance, or our teams apply the fixes for you.
- Verify and report — Rescans confirm each fix, and regular reports show what was closed, what is overdue and why.
How this differs from pen testing and patching
Vulnerability management, penetration testing and patching are often confused, but each does a different job. Used together, they cover each other's gaps: continuous scanning finds known weaknesses, testing finds what scanners miss, and patching applies the fixes.
Penetration Testing
Human-led, point-in-time proof of what an attacker could chain together
Endpoint Management
Rolling out patches and configuration to devices day to day
This Service
Finding, ranking and verifying fixes for known weaknesses, continuously
Our penetration testing and endpoint management services cover the other two jobs.
Who it is for
This service suits organisations whose estate has grown faster than their ability to track it, and teams who already scan but struggle to turn results into fixes. It also helps when a customer, insurer or regulator starts asking for evidence of how you manage vulnerabilities.
It matters most in sectors such as financial services, insurance, retail and private equity, where exposed systems carry regulatory and commercial consequences. If you have never scanned with authenticated depth, a security posture review gives you a starting baseline.
Evidence for audits and certifications
Most frameworks expect you to find and fix technical vulnerabilities in a timely way, and to prove it. Cyber Essentials requires high-risk and critical updates within 14 days. ISO 27001 includes a control for managing technical vulnerabilities, PCI DSS requires regular internal and external scans, and NIS2 and the CIS Controls both cover vulnerability handling.
Your programme produces the asset lists, scan histories, remediation records and trend reports auditors ask for. Our compliance support team can turn that into a pack ready for your auditor.
Services that work alongside
Vulnerability management works best with the rest of your security programme. Threat modelling designs weaknesses out before systems are built, and application security covers flaws in your own code. If you build software products, product security extends this work across the product lifecycle, including software bills of materials (SBOMs) and supply chain risk. For cloud estates, cloud security keeps configuration in line with what scanning finds.
