When is it worth doing a scan?
Problems we help solve
Not every vulnerability has the same impact on a company. Vulnerability scanning makes sense when the result is translated into specific actions: updates, configuration changes, access restrictions or conscious acceptance of risk.
- Servers and applications have not been checked for known vulnerabilities for a long time.
- It is not known which systems are exposed to the Internet and what services they provide.
- Updates are being postponed because the company is afraid of downtime.
- System configurations vary between servers and workstations.
- After an audit or incident, you need to confirm what has been corrected.
Fit
Who is this service for?
Companies with servers
We check Windows, Linux systems, network services and security configuration.
Companies with online services
We verify exposure of public addresses, ports and basic settings.
Companies before the audit
We help you gather a picture of gaps, priorities and corrective actions taken.
Companies after modernisation
We check whether the new environment has not inherited old configuration errors.
Service scope
What do vulnerability scanning and hardening involve?
Scan range
We determine which resources are to be checked and in what manner.
- public and internal addresses,
- servers and selected services,
- test windows and restrictions.
Results analysis
We separate real risks from information that does not require an urgent response.
- vulnerability criticality,
- system exposure,
- impact on company processes.
Hardening
We implement changes that limit the possibility of exploiting vulnerabilities.
- updates and fixes,
- disabling unnecessary services,
- configuration and permission changes.
Reporting and verification
We provide the result and a plan for further actions.
- list of risks and priorities,
- corrections made,
- recommendations for exceptions.
Outcomes
What will you receive?
- a list of vulnerabilities and weak configurations in the tested scope,
- patch priorities taking into account real risk,
- implemented or planned hardening activities,
- information about exceptions that cannot be removed immediately,
- a report useful for administrators and decision-makers.
We treat scanning as a starting point for improvement, not as an independent document stored in the archive.
Delivery approach
How is the service delivered?
- Scope. We establish systems, addresses, dates and test limits.
- Scan. We perform a controlled check of services and configuration.
- Analysis. We evaluate the results in terms of risk for the company.
- Plan. We determine the order of corrections and required maintenance windows.
- Hardening. We implement agreed amendments or recommendations.
- Verification. We check whether the most important risks have been mitigated.
Delivery standards
How do we avoid post-scan chaos?
- We do not treat the automatic result as a ready-made decision.
- We consider the impact of the patch on applications and users.
- We implement changes in stages, especially on critical systems.
- We document exceptions and why they are left in.
- After the corrections, we perform an inspection to confirm the effect.
Cost
What determines the price?
The price depends on the number of addresses and systems, type of scan, required analysis, scope of hardening, number of corrections and the need to work in maintenance windows.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the scanning a penetration test?
No. The vulnerability scan identifies known risks and configurations, and the penetration test tries to practically exploit them within the established scope.
Can the scan disrupt systems?
It can, which is why we agree the scope, intensity and timing before work starts.
Do you help implement fixes?
Yes. We can prepare a plan and implement agreed updates or configuration changes.
Can you provide a board-level report?
We can prepare the technical part and a short summary of business priorities.
How often should you perform a scan?
Regularly and after major changes, migrations or putting new services on the Internet.
