Vulnerability Management

Vulnerabilities are inevitable. The differentiator is how quickly you can find the ones that matter, fix them safely, and prove it. We treat vulnerability management as an operational system—not a quarterly scan.

What we deliver

  • Coverage: define what’s in scope (endpoints, servers, networked devices, internet-facing services).
  • Prioritization: focus on exploitability and business impact—not just CVSS scores.
  • Remediation workflow: owners, timelines, and re-testing to confirm closure.
  • Exception handling: an exception register when something can’t be patched immediately (with compensating controls).
  • Reporting: practical summaries for leadership and evidence support for vendor reviews/audits.

How we run it

  1. Baseline scan + inventory: establish scope and identify high-risk gaps.
  2. Cadence: set a scanning and review schedule that fits operations (more frequent for critical/internet-facing).
  3. Fix safely: coordinate patch windows and validate changes.
  4. Close the loop: re-scan and confirm remediation.

Tool examples

  • Tenable: Nessus for scanning where it makes sense for the environment and scope.
  • Microsoft: built-in vulnerability capabilities in Microsoft security tooling for Microsoft-heavy environments (licensing dependent, often in certain E5 plans).

Tool choice matters less than consistent coverage, clear ownership, and a remediation cadence that doesn’t derail productivity.

FAQ

Is vulnerability scanning the same as vulnerability management?
Scanning finds issues. Vulnerability management is the operational system: coverage, prioritization, remediation tracking, re-testing, and evidence.
Do you just run Nessus scans?
We can use Tenable Nessus where it makes sense, and in Microsoft-heavy environments we can also leverage built-in vulnerability capabilities available in Microsoft security tooling (licensing dependent). The goal is consistent coverage and a remediation workflow—not tool sprawl.
Will this break production systems?
We scope scanning carefully (timing, targets, credentials, and rate limits) and coordinate with your operations team. The goal is visibility without outages.
