Vulnerability
Assessment

Vulnerability
Assessment

Know your attack surface before an attacker does. A structured assessment across your network, endpoints, cloud infrastructure, and Active Directory — delivered with prioritized remediation guidance your team can act on immediately.

ENGAGEMENT TRIGGERS

ENGAGEMENT TRIGGERS

When to engage

When to engage

Vulnerability assessments are most valuable at predictable points — before a major change, after a security event, or when leadership needs a clear picture of current risk exposure.

No current view of your attack surface

Your organization hasn't conducted a structured vulnerability assessment recently. You don't have a clear, documented picture of what's exposed and what the highest-priority risks are.

Pre-cloud migration or infrastructure change

Before a major infrastructure change — cloud migration, network redesign, M&A integration — you need to understand the current security baseline and carry only necessary risk into the new environment.

Post-incident gap analysis

Following a security incident, you need an independent assessment to identify what vulnerabilities were exploited, what else remains exposed, and what needs to be addressed before the environment is considered clean.

Board or leadership requiring risk visibility

Leadership needs a documented, independent view of the organization's technical risk posture — something defensible to present to a board, an auditor, or a senior stakeholder requesting security accountability.

Active Directory hygiene concerns

You suspect your Active Directory has accumulated years of misconfiguration, excessive permissions, or legacy vulnerabilities — and you need a structured review before an attacker finds them first.

Annual or periodic security review

Regular vulnerability assessments are part of your security program. You need a structured, repeatable process that produces consistent, comparable results year over year.

SCOPE OF WORK

What the engagement covers

What the engagement covers

Assessments are scoped to your environment and risk priorities. Coverage spans network, endpoint, identity, and cloud — with depth determined by what matters most for your organization.

01

Internal & External Network Assessment

Structured vulnerability scanning and analysis across internal network infrastructure and external attack surface. Identifies exposed services, unpatched systems, misconfigurations, and network-level vulnerabilities — prioritized by exploitability and business impact.

02

Active Directory Security Assessment

In-depth review of Active Directory configuration — covering privileged account hygiene, group policy misconfigurations, Kerberoastable accounts, delegation issues, and legacy protocol exposure. AD vulnerabilities are consistently the most exploited path to domain compromise.

Active Directory Security Assessment

In-depth review of Active Directory configuration — covering privileged account hygiene, group policy misconfigurations, Kerberoastable accounts, delegation issues, and legacy protocol exposure. AD vulnerabilities are consistently the most exploited path to domain compromise.

03

Cloud Security Posture Assessment

Systematic review of cloud environment configuration across Azure and AWS — identifying storage misconfiguration, IAM over-permission, publicly exposed resources, insecure network security groups, and cloud-native security control gaps.

Cloud Security Posture Assessment

Systematic review of cloud environment configuration across Azure and AWS — identifying storage misconfiguration, IAM over-permission, publicly exposed resources, insecure network security groups, and cloud-native security control gaps.

04

Endpoint Security Configuration Review

Assessment of endpoint security controls — patch status, EDR coverage and policy configuration, attack surface reduction rules, application control, and local privilege management. Identifies gaps between your security tooling and the protection it's actually providing.

Endpoint Security Configuration Review

Assessment of endpoint security controls — patch status, EDR coverage and policy configuration, attack surface reduction rules, application control, and local privilege management. Identifies gaps between your security tooling and the protection it's actually providing.

05

Identity & Access Review

Review of identity infrastructure including Entra ID, on-premises AD, and privileged access controls. Covers MFA enforcement gaps, excessive permissions, stale accounts, service account exposure, and conditional access policy weaknesses.

06

Prioritized Remediation Report

A complete assessment report with full technical findings and an executive risk summary. Vulnerabilities are prioritized by severity and exploitability — not just CVSS score. Each finding includes a clear remediation recommendation your team can act on without needing external support.

OUR APPROACH

How an engagement runs

A structured, methodical process — from first contact through final report. No improvisation, no scope creep.

01

Initial triage call

Within hours of first contact, we conduct a structured triage call to understand what you're seeing, what systems are affected, and what access we need.

02

Evidence collection & preservation

We collect relevant forensic artifacts — memory dumps, disk images, log exports, cloud audit logs — using forensically sound methods that preserve evidentiary integrity.

03

Investigation & attacker timeline reconstruction

We reconstruct exactly what happened: initial access vector, persistence mechanisms, lateral movement paths, data accessed or exfiltrated, and the full attacker timeline.

04

Containment & active threat removal

With a clear picture of attacker access, we execute targeted containment — removing persistence, rotating credentials, applying conditional access policies, and isolating affected systems.

05

Final report & strategic debrief

We deliver a full incident report covering findings, root cause, attacker techniques (mapped to MITRE ATT&CK), and a prioritised remediation roadmap.

Scoped, structured, and delivered with findings your team can actually use — not a raw scanner output dropped in your inbox.
