VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT+
FIND THE WEAKNESSES THAT MATTER
A focused technical assessment of defined systems that identifies vulnerabilities, validates meaningful findings and gives you clear, prioritised remediation guidance based on your actual environment.
WHY IT MATTERS +
KNOW WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION FIRST.
Every system has weaknesses. The useful question isn’t whether a scanner can find them. It’s which weaknesses genuinely matter in your environment and what you should do about them.
We assess your agreed systems, investigate meaningful findings and turn the results into practical remediation priorities.
Not everything needs fixing today. But you should know what does.
WHY IT MATTERS +
A VULNERABILITY REPORT CAN BE A VERY NOISY THING
Hundreds of findings can look terrifying on paper. But a long list doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in serious danger. We help separate the noise from the signal, looking at the severity, context and potential impact of what we find. Because the goal isn’t to give you more problems. It’s to give you a clearer picture of the problems that matter.
Â
WHAT WE LOOK AT
So what are we checking? Potential areas:Â
+ EXPOSED SERVICES
What’s accessible from the network or internet?
+ SOFTWARE & SYSTEMS
Are outdated or vulnerable versions putting you at risk?
+ CONFIGURATIONS
Are systems configured securely?
+ AUTHENTICATION & ACCESS
Are accounts and permissions doing what they should?
+ SECURITY CONTROLS
Are important protections enabled and working as expected?
+ KNOWN VULNERABILITIES
Are there publicly known weaknesses that need attention?
We’re looking for the gaps attackers look for.
HOW IT WORKS +
FROM SCAN TO UNDERSTANDING
01 SCOPE
We agree exactly what is being assessed.
02 DISCOVER
We identify relevant systems, services and potential weaknesses.
03 ASSESS
We analyse vulnerabilities, configurations and security gaps.
04 VALIDATE
Where appropriate, we investigate findings to reduce false positives and understand their context.
05 PRIORITIZE
We determine what deserves attention first based on your actual environment.
06 EXPLAIN
We turn the findings into clear remediation guidance.
WHAT YOU GET +
KNOW WHAT NEEDS FIXING. AND WHETHER IT WAS FIXED.
Your assessment gives you more than vulnerability scanner output. We turn technical findings into something you can actually act on.
Â
The goal isn’t a perfect score. It’s a better security posture.
THE DIFFERENCE +
VALIDATION ISN’T EXPLOITATION.
Â
A Vulnerability Assessment asks:
What weaknesses exist?
We may safely verify findings to establish whether they’re genuine and relevant.
A Penetration Test goes further:
What can an attacker actually do with them?
Exploitation and demonstration of compromise belong within an explicitly authorised penetration testing scope.
A vulnerability assessment makes sense when:
→ You want a baseline of your security.
→ You haven’t assessed your systems recently.
→ You’ve added new systems or infrastructure.
→ You want to identify known weaknesses.
→ You need to prioritise remediation.
→ You’re preparing for a more comprehensive security assessment.
A penetration test may be more appropriate when:Â
→ You want to know whether weaknesses can actually be exploited.
→ You need to understand attack paths.
→ You require adversarial testing.
→ You want to validate the effectiveness of your security controls.
Not sure which one you need? We’ll help you work it out.
WHY TANOSEC +
SECURITY IS EASIER TO IMPROVE WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND IT.
Â
We don’t hand you a spreadsheet full of scanner findings and disappear. We validate meaningful findings, explain what matters in your environment and give you practical remediation priorities you can actually use.
Â
Machines gather. Tanosec interprets. You understand.
