# Vulnerability management.

> Managed vulnerability scanning for London businesses. Regular scans, risk-based priorities and clear fix lists your team can act on.

Canonical: https://cybersecuritylondon.com/vulnerability-management


New weaknesses are published every day. Our managed vulnerability scanning service finds the ones that affect you, ranks them by real risk, and keeps track until they are fixed.

Covers: Scheduled scanning, External & internal, Risk-based priority, Fix tracking.

## Overview

Most breaches use weaknesses that were already known and already fixable. The hard part isn't finding them; it is knowing which of hundreds of results actually matter to your business.

We run regular scans across your internet-facing and internal systems, remove the noise, and give you a short, ordered list of what to fix first, then check that it was fixed.

### A good fit if

- You have no regular view of your weaknesses
- Scan reports arrive but nobody acts on them
- You need evidence of ongoing security for clients or auditors
- Your IT team is stretched and needs clear priorities

## What's included

- **Asset discovery**: We confirm what you actually have online, including systems you may have forgotten.
- **Scheduled scanning**: External and internal vulnerability scanning on a monthly or quarterly rhythm.
- **Noise reduction**: False positives removed so your team only sees real issues.
- **Risk-based priorities**: Weaknesses ranked by exposure and business impact, not just CVSS score.
- **Clear fix lists**: Specific actions your IT team or provider can follow.
- **Progress reporting**: A simple trend view showing your exposure going down over time.

## How it works

1. **Discover**: Map the systems and IP ranges to include.
2. **Scan**: Run authenticated and external vulnerability scans on schedule.
3. **Prioritise**: Review results and rank them by real-world risk.
4. **Verify**: Rescan to confirm fixes and report progress.

## What we scan

- **External infrastructure**: Firewalls, VPNs, mail servers and anything else facing the internet.
- **Internal networks**: Servers, laptops and devices inside your network.
- **Websites and web applications**: Common web vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
- **Cloud services**: Exposed storage, weak configurations and public-facing cloud assets.

## What affects the cost

- **Number of assets**: How many IP addresses, servers and devices are in scope.
- **Frequency**: Monthly scanning costs more than quarterly, and gives a faster view of new risks.
- **Internal coverage**: Internal scanning needs a small scanning appliance or agent.
- **Remediation support**: Whether you want us to help fix issues as well as find them.

Vulnerability management is usually a simple monthly fee, quoted once we know the size of your estate.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is vulnerability management?

It is the ongoing cycle of finding weaknesses in your systems, deciding which matter most, fixing them and checking the fixes worked. A one-off scan is a snapshot; vulnerability management keeps you on top of new risks.

### How often should we scan for vulnerabilities?

Monthly is a sensible baseline for most businesses. Internet-facing systems benefit from more frequent checks.

### Do you fix the vulnerabilities too?

We give you clear fix instructions and can work alongside your IT team or provider. Where it helps, we can carry out remediation work directly.

### Is a vulnerability scan the same as a penetration test?

No. Scanning is automated and broad; a penetration test is manual and deep. Most businesses benefit from regular scanning plus an annual penetration test.
