Vulnerability
Assessment
Find your vulnerabilities before the hackers do. The first step to determine if a weakness can be exploited is to perform a vulnerability assessment. Some organizations may not need a full-on penetration test right away but would like to understand what type of weakness or vulnerability exists within their system, server or application.
​
​BitSpartan Security helps organizations manage and better understand their information system vulnerabilities by performing a human-run vulnerability assessment on a target system or application and reporting on those vulnerabilities. The report details the severity level of the vulnerabilities and ranks them appropriately. It also details possible exploit methods and recommendations for remediating the vulnerability.
Management may use this data to obtain a holistic view of their vulnerabilities and to prioritize remediation efforts.
Why conduct a Vulnerability Assessment?
1
Understand vulnerabilities that exist with an application or system
5
Find vulnerabilities before hackers do
2
Stakeholders may require it as part of contract or new requirement
6
Meet legal and regulatory requirements
3
Demonstrate due diligence to stakeholders
7
Prevent data breach and security incidents
4
Prioritize on what vulnerabilities to fix first
8
Reduce time and cost for future assessments and pen testing
Our Process
If you don't know what's vulnerable, you won't know what to fix. Our vulnerability assessment goes beyond simple automated scanning and report generation. We provide you with the information you need to prioritize your remediation efforts based on professional analysis. Our vulnerability assessment is a human-run assessment where a certified ethical hacker manages the engagement from start to finish. Every step in the process we show below requires an expert to manually review, inspect, analyze, determine the possibility of exploitation, and make sense of the vulnerabilities and how they can impact your information system and your business. Here is our process:
Planning and Scoping
Understand the business objective, scope the assessment, and understand the goal or expectation of the assessment.
Report
Once a comprehensive analysis has been conducted, we provide recommendations on how to remediate the vulnerabilities. A report is provided.
Scanning
Using automated and manual tools, we carefully scan the target system in scope.
Remediation
Using our report, organizations can now prioritize remediation efforts for the discovered vulnerabilities, especially the critical ones.
Analysis
We perform comprehensive analysis on the vulnerabilities found. Here we review severity levels, exploitation methods, and rank vulnerabilities based on our analysis.
Stay Clean
New vulnerabilities are discovered every day. Hygienic-wise, we recommend monthly scanning of the target in scope and a full comprehensive assessment annually.
When to conduct Vulnerability Assesment
Hygienic
Due diligence and keeping your environment clean
Compliance
Part of contract signing or new requirements
Change
When there are changes in the system, typically large changes
Emerging Threat
When a new threat has been discovered and can potentially impact your system
You can't fix what you don't know is broken. Our vulnerability assessments provide you with the data you need to prioritize your remediation efforts.
Scanning Type
Internal Network
Public Applications and the Cloud
External Network
IOT
Web Application
Specific servers, hosts, endpoints, databases, systems.
