A structured, expert-led assessment of your infrastructure, applications, cloud and endpoints that separates real risk from noise and gives your teams a clear, prioritised fix plan.

Scoping workshop and rules of engagement • Full asset and service discovery • Authenticated and unauthenticated assessment • Cloud and identity misconfiguration review • Web and API vulnerability assessment • Manual validation of all high findings • Prioritised remediation roadmap • Free retest of remediated findings

About

How HexaPrime help you with VA!

Our Vulnerability Assessment is a point-in-time, consultant-led review of the security weaknesses present in your technology estate. We begin by agreeing scope and rules of engagement, then perform asset and service discovery to ensure nothing in scope is missed. Authenticated and unauthenticated testing is carried out against network devices, servers, workstations, databases, cloud configurations, web applications and wireless infrastructure as applicable. Every significant finding is manually validated to eliminate false positives, rated on severity and exploitability in your specific context, and documented with evidence and a concrete remediation recommendation.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment aims for breadth — identifying and validating as many weaknesses as possible across the estate. A penetration test aims for depth, actively exploiting weaknesses to demonstrate real attack paths. Many clients run assessments regularly and penetration tests periodically.

How long does an assessment take?

A focused environment typically takes one to two weeks including reporting. Larger, multi-site or multi-cloud estates are phased, with interim notification of any critical findings.

Will you notify us immediately if something critical is found?

Yes. Critical findings are escalated to your nominated contact as soon as they are validated, ahead of the final report.

Is there any risk to our systems during testing?

The assessment is non-destructive by design. Testing intensity, timing and exclusions are agreed in the rules of engagement, and sensitive systems are handled with low-impact techniques.

Do you provide help with fixing the findings?

Yes. The report includes specific remediation guidance, and the debrief workshop gives your engineers direct access to the consultants. Hands-on remediation can be added as a separate scope.

Can the report be used for regulatory or audit purposes?

Yes. Deliverables include a compliance control mapping appendix and a certificate of completion, and are structured to satisfy regulator and auditor evidence requests.
