Frequently Asked Questions
How is a vulnerability assessment different from a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment finds and ranks weaknesses, while a penetration test tries to actively exploit them. Think of the assessment as “diagnosis” and the pen test as a “simulated break-in.” Most SMEs need the assessment first.
Will the scan disrupt our business operations?
No. The scan agent runs silently in the background and has zero impact on performance or uptime. It simply gathers data from your endpoints, servers and networks over a 5–7 day window.
What types of vulnerabilities do you detect?
We scan for outdated software, missing patches, insecure configurations, exposed services, weak passwords, ransomware-ready exploits, and cloud or network misconfigurations — all ranked by critical / high / medium / low impact.
Can you help us fix the vulnerabilities you find?
Yes — remediation support is part of our service. We can patch, reconfigure, harden systems, tighten access controls, or fully manage your ongoing vulnerability management programme if required.
What’s the business impact of not running vulnerability assessments?
Unpatched weaknesses are one of the top root causes of ransomware, data exposure and downtime. For SMEs, even a single exploited vulnerability can lead to days of disruption, GDPR fines and loss of customer trust — all of which are far more expensive than preventative scanning.
