VULNERABILITY AND PENETRATION TESTING

Find the Weak Spots Before Attackers Do

Attackers scan the internet constantly for unpatched systems, open doors, and weak settings. The real question is whether you find them first.

We continuously discover what your organization has exposed, scan it for known weaknesses, and safely test whether those weaknesses could actually be used to break in. Then we help you fix what matters most, first.

Know the Difference

Scan, Test, or Both?

Each kind of testing answers a different question. Here is how they compare.

Vulnerability Scan

Finds known weaknesses, such as missing patches, outdated software, and risky settings.

Best for
Ongoing hygiene on every device
With CyberCore
Monitoring on every plan

Automated Penetration Test

Safely attempts real attack techniques to prove which weaknesses can actually be used, with evidence for each result.

Best for
Continuous proof for insurers, auditors, and leadership
With CyberCore
Included on Advanced and Compliance

Manual Penetration Test

A specialist firm tries to break in by hand, using creative and custom techniques beyond automated testing.

Best for
When a contract, auditor, or insurer specifically requires one
With CyberCore
We help scope it, authorize the testers, and act on their findings

Any third-party testing of systems we manage requires your written authorization and coordination with our team, so approved tests are never mistaken for real attacks.

What We Test

Six Ways We Find Your Gaps

Together these show what you have exposed, what is weak, and what an attacker could actually use.

Test 1 of 6

Attack Surface Discovery

We map your internet-facing systems, internal devices, cloud services, and Microsoft 365 accounts, including the ones everyone forgot about.

  • External, internal, and cloud discovery
  • Microsoft 365 included
  • New exposures found as they appear
Advanced and Compliance
Test 2 of 6

Vulnerability Scanning

Covered computers are monitored for missing patches, outdated software, and risky settings, with findings ranked by real-world risk instead of a raw severity score.

  • Continuous monitoring of covered computers
  • Missing patches and outdated software found
  • Initial scan during onboarding
Monitoring on every plan
Test 3 of 6

Automated Penetration Testing

Safe, controlled attack techniques test whether a weakness could really be used to get in, and every result comes with documented evidence.

  • Real-world attack techniques, run safely
  • Documented evidence for each finding
  • Retested as fixes are made
Advanced and Compliance
Test 4 of 6

Cloud Baselines

Your Microsoft 365 settings are compared against recognized security baselines, and risky configurations are flagged for correction.

  • Microsoft 365 configuration checks
  • Risky sharing and sign-in settings found
  • Changes tracked over time
Advanced and Compliance
Test 5 of 6

Exposed Credentials

We watch for your staff's work credentials showing up in known data breaches, so a leaked password is changed before it is used.

  • Breach monitoring for work credentials
  • Alerts reviewed by our team
  • Passwords changed and multi-factor login confirmed
Every plan
Test 6 of 6

Roadmap and Reports

Findings become a prioritized plan that shows what to fix first, plus leadership-ready reports that show how your risk is trending.

  • Prioritized remediation roadmap
  • Plain-language executive reports
  • Evidence for insurers and auditors
Advanced and Compliance

Attack surface management and automated penetration testing are included on Advanced and Compliance and available as an add-on on Foundation and Essential. Vulnerability monitoring and breach monitoring are included on every plan.

Insurance and Compliance

Testing Is No Longer Optional

Regular testing shows up on insurance applications and in the rules regulated industries follow.

Cyber Insurance

Applications commonly ask how you find and patch vulnerabilities. Documented scan and test results give you a confident answer.

FTC Safeguards Rule

Financial and tax firms need continuous monitoring, or an annual penetration test plus vulnerability assessments at least every six months.

16 CFR 314.4(d)(2)

PCI DSS

Merchants must test their security regularly. If your card processor requires scans from an approved scanning vendor, those are arranged separately.

PCI DSS Requirement 11

HIPAA

The required risk analysis must assess the vulnerabilities that could affect patient information. Testing results feed directly into it.

FAQ

Testing Questions

Straight answers about scans, tests, and what happens with the results.

Automated testing uses safe, controlled techniques designed not to interrupt normal work. Anything with a higher chance of impact is scheduled with you in advance.

Not quite. Automated testing runs real attack techniques continuously and proves which weaknesses can be used. A manual test by a specialist firm goes deeper with custom techniques. If a contract, auditor, or insurer requires a manual test, we help you scope it, authorize the testers, and act on what they find.

Our scanning and testing support your PCI program. If your card processor requires scans from an approved scanning vendor, those are arranged separately.

Yes. Because we manage your security systems, outside testing needs your written authorization and coordination with our team first, so an approved test is never mistaken for a real attack.

Findings are ranked by real-world risk in a prioritized roadmap. Many fixes, like patches and configuration changes, are handled as part of your managed plan. Larger fixes are quoted before any work begins.

On Advanced and Compliance, attack surface monitoring and automated testing run continuously, so new exposures are found as they appear. On every plan, covered computers are monitored for vulnerabilities around the clock.

Yes. Every Free Security Assessment includes an external exposure review, plus an active vulnerability scan if you give us written permission.
