Managed Vulnerability Assessment Services
CIS provides fully managed vulnerability assessment services designed to rapidly detect, monitor, and remediate vulnerabilities across both external and internal systems. Our end-to-end solution ensures continuous protection, helping you stay ahead of emerging threats and maintain a strong security posture.
Our Methodology
As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity and frequency, proactively defending your business’s data has never been more critical. Identifying and addressing security weaknesses before attackers can exploit them should be a top priority for any organisation.
Our vulnerability assessment services provide a clear picture of your security posture by uncovering hidden risks and unknown vulnerabilities across your systems. With ongoing support and expert guidance, we help you take immediate action to mitigate threats and strengthen your defences.
Whether used as a standalone service or combined with our broader cybersecurity offerings—such as penetration testing—our assessments form a vital part of a comprehensive and in-depth cyber security strategy tailored to your needs.
Our Methodology
Our scanning and reporting methodology follows a structured approach to ensure comprehensive vulnerability detection and assessment across your organisation’s IT environment. Qualys utilises its proprietary scanning engine and advanced background tools to deliver an in-depth understanding of security risks. Below is an overview of our methodology:
