Service description

What Network Security Assessment covers

Comprehensive visibility into your network security posture.

Network Security Assessments provide visibility into vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across network-connected systems using authenticated and unauthenticated scanning techniques. This service is designed to identify exposed services, outdated software, insecure configurations, and missing patches across the network environment.

The assessment primarily uses Nessus to perform structured vulnerability scanning across defined IP ranges and network segments. The goal is to provide organizations with a clear understanding of their network security posture and to highlight areas requiring remediation before they are exploited.

Flowchart

Our network assessment process

A systematic approach to identifying and validating risks.

Engagement stages

From scope definition to actionable remediation guidance.

Step 01

Scope Definition & Network Range Identification

Defining boundaries and target IP ranges for assessment so all in-scope network segments are clearly identified.

Step 02

Asset Discovery & Service Enumeration

Mapping active hosts and listening services across the environment to build an accurate inventory of exposed assets.

Step 03

Vulnerability Scanning

Running Nessus scans with both authenticated and unauthenticated profiles to identify outdated software, missing patches, and insecure configurations.

Step 04

Identification of High-Risk Assets

Highlighting critical systems, high-value assets, and exposed services that represent the most attractive targets for attackers.

Step 05

Validation & False Positive Review

Manually validating key findings, reducing noise, and confirming exploitability to ensure results are accurate and actionable.

Step 06

Risk Classification & Impact Analysis

Classifying each vulnerability using CVSS scoring and describing the potential business and technical impact on your environment.

Step 07

Reporting & Remediation Guidance

Delivering clear reports and targeted remediation recommendations so your teams can patch, harden, and monitor effectively.
