A vulnerability assessment systematically identifies, quantifies, and prioritises security weaknesses across your IT estate — generating a remediation queue ranked by real-world risk using CVE severity and CVSS scores.
Where a penetration test goes deep on a narrow scope, vulnerability management goes broad and continuous — scanning hundreds of systems on a monthly or quarterly cadence so newly published CVEs, misconfigurations, and missing patches surface fast. The two disciplines complement each other; mature programmes run both.
P2P Digital Services delivers point-in-time assessments and fully managed continuous programmes with SLA-based remediation tracking.
"Critical CVEs accumulate faster than most teams can patch. A CVSS-prioritised queue focuses effort on the vulnerabilities that pose genuine risk — not just the loudest ones."Monthly or quarterly cadenceWith remediation verification scans included
Known vulnerabilities sit exposed for months. CVSS-prioritised remediation queues focus patching on what actually matters.
Unmanaged devices and cloud instances join the environment unseen. Discovery scans and CSPM surface unknown assets.
PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials require scan evidence on schedule. We manage the cycle and format reports for audit.
Findings without owners or deadlines never close. SLA-based tracking with MTTR reporting drives vulnerabilities to resolution.
Misconfiguration — not zero-days — causes most cloud breaches. CSPM monitors AWS, Azure, and GCP against CIS Benchmarks continuously.
End-of-life systems that cannot be patched create permanent exposure. We assess compensating controls and design network isolation.
Credentialed internal scans revealing the full vulnerability profile of servers, endpoints, and network devices.
Unauthenticated scanning of internet-facing infrastructure — suitable for ASV-compliant PCI DSS quarterly scans.
Continuous AWS, Azure, and GCP configuration monitoring against CIS Benchmarks with real-time drift alerts.
Docker and Kubernetes workloads scanned for CVEs before production — integrated into CI/CD to block vulnerable deployments.
Dynamic application scanning for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities across your web estate.
Monthly or quarterly reports ranking findings by CVSS, exploitability, and business context — a defensible patching queue.
A vulnerability assessment is a systematic scan and review of your systems to identify known security weaknesses, such as unpatched software and misconfigurations, then rank them by risk so you can fix the most dangerous first.
Continuously or at least monthly for internet-facing systems, and quarterly as a minimum internally. PCI DSS requires quarterly external scans by an Approved Scanning Vendor. Continuous scanning catches new vulnerabilities as soon as they are published.
An assessment is a point-in-time snapshot. Vulnerability management is the ongoing cycle of scanning, prioritising, fixing and verifying, with tracking and reporting so exposure keeps falling over time.
No. Scans find known issues across many systems; a penetration test manually exploits weaknesses to show real-world impact. They complement each other.
