Vulnerability scanning

Producing a scan report takes an afternoon. Producing results from it takes discipline, and that is where most efforts stall. Picture a 60-room hotel at Bled that paid for an assessment twelve months ago. The document runs to three hundred items, the majority graded “medium”. Nobody knew which to tackle first, so nobody tackled any. Meanwhile, a remote access appliance guarding the hotel's reservation and front-office system developed a publicly exposed weakness that criminal groups are now abusing, and in the report it looks no different from line 212. For us scanning is a routine, not a project. Perimeter, internal subnets, websites and cloud tenants are revisited on a fixed rhythm. Results are weighed against your setup, and we look past the headline score to ask whether anyone is exploiting the issue in the wild. Anything significant becomes a ticket with a named person and a target date, and is only marked done after a follow-up scan agrees.

Scope of the service

Coverage focuses on what an intruder would target. Thick reports that nobody opens are not the goal.

Check the scope with an engineer

External exposure

All public IPs and domains: edge firewall, remote access, mail service and sites. Whatever answers from the internet, along with its software version, is rechecked regularly.

Inside the network

Servers, laptops, switches, printers and NAS devices. Logging in with credentials during the scan gives a much truer view of missing patches and weak configuration.

Web properties

Stale plugins, absent or wrong security headers, admin pages left reachable and forgotten backup archives on websites and online shops.

Cloud tenants

Weak cloud configuration, for example storage open to the public, admins without two-step sign-in and apps granted far too much.

Making sense of results

For every finding we ask three things: can it be reached from the internet, is exploit code circulating, and how much does the business lean on that system? You end up with a brief, prioritised task list.

Follow-through

Tickets go to the responsible colleague or supplier, overdue items trigger a nudge, and nothing is closed until a rescan confirms it.

How the work runs

Round one tends to expose years of accumulated debt. From then on the job is keeping the slate clean.

01

Defining targets

We list addresses, subnets, sites and tenants, and arrange scanning consent and time slots with your hosting and cloud providers.

02

First sweep

A complete pass with analysis. Anything critical is dealt with at once; everything else gets a timetable you can actually meet.

03

Cadence

Monthly passes, plus a focused extra check when SI-CERT or a manufacturer flags a severe flaw.

04

Visibility

Directors get a single monthly page; engineers get a living list of open items. The trend line should keep falling.

What protects you is how fast holes get closed, not how many were found. Three hundred lines on paper defend nothing. Shutting one actively exploited, internet-facing flaw inside a week is worth more than polishing a hundred minor settings, so our yardstick is days to remediation rather than volume of findings.

Your questions answered

It is unlikely. Passes run outside business hours, and delicate kit such as ageing printers, factory controllers or medical devices gets a lighter touch. We agree that list together before scanning starts.

We agree that at the outset. Systems under our management are fixed by us. Where a supplier runs the system, we brief them with the evidence and a suggested remedy, keep chasing, and confirm the fix. Extra effort is billed at €50 per hour plus VAT once you approve an estimate.

No. Scanning is automated, repeated and wide, looking for weaknesses already known to the world. Pen testing is a limited engagement where an expert deliberately tries to break into a specific target using an attacker's mindset. Think of scanning as a regular health check and a pen test as a specialist consultation; you need both.

We do. SI-CERT notices and the security advisories of large vendors are tracked continuously, and if a severe flaw touches something in your estate, the affected systems are checked straight away rather than at the next monthly pass.

Spot weaknesses before attackers do

Describe what you expose to the internet and give a rough device count. We will come back with a scanning scope and rhythm that fit.
