Build Your VM Management
Build and operate a mature vulnerability management program with continuous scanning, risk-based prioritization, SLA-driven remediation tracking, and executive reporting. We help you move from reactive patching to proactive risk management.
Vulnerability Management?
Vulnerability Management is the continuous process of identifying, evaluating, prioritizing, and remediating security vulnerabilities across your entire IT environment. Unlike one-time assessments, vulnerability management is an ongoing program that keeps pace with your evolving infrastructure and emerging threats.
Our team helps you design, implement, and operate a mature vulnerability management program that goes beyond simple scanning. We establish risk-based prioritization, SLA-driven remediation workflows, integration with your IT operations, and executive-level reporting to demonstrate measurable risk reduction.
Our Process
A structured, comprehensive approach tailored to your specific needs and requirements.
Asset Discovery & Classification
Asset Inventory
Discovering and cataloging all IT assets including servers, endpoints, cloud instances, containers, and network devices.
Asset Classification
Categorizing assets by criticality, data sensitivity, and business function to inform prioritization decisions.
Coverage Assessment
Identifying scanning gaps, shadow IT, and unmanaged assets that may not be covered by existing tools.
Vulnerability Scanning & Assessment
Scanning Strategy
Designing scanning schedules, authentication configurations, and scan policies optimized for your environment.
Tool Configuration
Configuring and tuning vulnerability scanners to minimize false positives while maximizing detection coverage.
Vulnerability Validation
Expert analysis to confirm findings, eliminate false positives, and assess actual exploitability in your context.
Prioritization & Remediation
Risk-Based Prioritization
Using CVSS, SSVC, threat intelligence, and asset criticality to prioritize vulnerabilities by actual risk, not just severity scores.
SLA Framework
Establishing remediation SLAs based on risk level with escalation procedures and exception management processes.
Remediation Guidance
Providing specific fix recommendations, patch deployment guidance, and compensating controls for each vulnerability.
Verification & Reporting
Remediation Verification
Confirming that patches and fixes are properly applied through rescanning and manual verification.
Metrics & KPIs
Tracking mean time to remediate, SLA compliance, vulnerability aging, and risk reduction trends over time.
Executive Reporting
Regular reports and dashboards showing program effectiveness, risk posture, and compliance status for leadership.
