Vulnerability Scanning & Reporting Services
Understand where your systems are exposed and what needs to be fixed — with reliable scanning and clear reporting that supports both security teams and compliance needs.
About Service
Vulnerability Scanning & Reporting Overview
Most attacks begin by exploiting known vulnerabilities — outdated software, weak configurations, or missing patches. These are issues that attackers can identify quickly, often using the same automated tools used across the internet.
Vulnerability scanning helps you see these weaknesses before someone else finds them. It gives you a complete view of misconfigurations, outdated versions, missing patches, or exposed services across your network, cloud, or applications.
CyberXSoft provides scanning and reporting that is easy to follow, even if your team doesn’t have deep security experience. We tell you what’s vulnerable, what the risks mean, and which fixes should come first.
This service is ideal for ongoing security checks, compliance audits, and routine exposure monitoring.
What Is Vulnerability Scanning?
Vulnerability scanning is an automated process that checks systems for known weaknesses, unsafe configurations, outdated services, and potential exposure points.
It helps answer questions like:
- Is any critical patch missing?
- Are there exposed ports that shouldn’t be open?
- Are we running outdated software?
- Does our cloud environment have unsafe settings?
Unlike penetration testing, which is manual and scenario-based, scanning focuses on identifying known issues at scale.
What Our Vulnerability Scanning & Reporting Covers
External & Internal Network Scanning
We scan both internal systems and internet-facing infrastructure to identify weaknesses attackers can exploit.
What’s included:
- Open port and service discovery
- Outdated software identification
- Firewall exposure checks
- Misconfiguration detection
- Open port and service discovery
Web Application Vulnerability Scanning
We check for common weaknesses in web apps and supporting services.
What’s included:
- Injection and input validation checks
- Directory and file exposure
- Known CVE detection
- Cookie and session configuration review
Cloud Environment Scanning
Misconfigured cloud settings are one of the biggest causes of breaches.
What’s included:
- Public bucket checks
- Access policy review
- Outdated cloud services
- Unsafe identity or permission settings
Endpoint & Server Vulnerability Checks
We identify outdated OS versions, missing patches, and common endpoint risks.
What’s included:
- Patch status checks
- Weak configuration detection
- Missing security controls
- Insecure service review
Detailed Vulnerability Reporting
You receive a clear vulnerability scanning report that outlines:
- List of findings
- Severity levels
- What each issue means
- Affected systems
- Step-by-step fix recommendations
The goal is clarity, not complexity.
Tools Commonly Used for Vulnerability Scanning
Industry teams typically use tools such as:
- Nessus
- Qualys VM
- OpenVAS
- Rapid7 InsightVM
- Nmap (surface scanning)
- AWS & Azure native scanners
These tools help detect known weaknesses, though human review is still important to avoid confusion or false alarms.
Real Problems This Service Helps Solve
Many organizations struggle with:
- Systems going unpatched for months
- No visibility into what’s outdated or exposed
- Incomplete inventories of servers or endpoints
- Cloud configurations left public by mistake
- Tools showing too many results with little guidance
- Difficulty deciding which risks to fix first
- Relying on old reports that no longer match the environment
Scanning fixes these gaps by providing a consistent, structured view of what needs attention.
Use Cases
1. Monthly or Quarterly Security Checks
Ideal for teams needing regular visibility into vulnerabilities.
2. Pre-Audit or Pre-Penetration Testing Review
Ensures obvious issues are fixed before deeper testing begins.
3. Newly Added Servers, Networks, or Cloud Resources
Scanning helps verify they are configured safely from day one.
4. Compliance Reporting & Evidence Collection
Many standards require routine vulnerability assessments.
How Our Vulnerability Scanning Process Works
Environment Review
We identify which systems need scanning — servers, cloud, apps, or networks.
Scan Setup & Execution
We run controlled scans based on your scope and risk profile.
Findings & Risk Analysis
We sort the results, remove noise, and highlight what matters most.
Reporting & Fix Guidance
You receive a clear report with all vulnerabilities explained in simple language.
Retesting (If Required)
After fixes are applied, we verify that issues have been resolved.
Who Can Benefit From This Service?
- Businesses with growing infrastructure
- Teams that need routine exposure checks
- Organizations preparing for compliance
- Companies lacking internal scanning tools
- Teams wanting a clear view of security gaps
- Businesses using cloud or hybrid environments
See your real weaknesses — and fix them with confidence.
Get clear vulnerability insights without the noise.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a company run vulnerability scans?
Most organizations scan monthly or quarterly. Environments that change frequently — such as cloud-based or fast-growing infrastructures — benefit from more frequent scans to keep up with new assets and updates.
Is vulnerability scanning the same as penetration testing?
No. Scanning identifies known weaknesses using automated tools, while penetration testing manually attempts to exploit issues. Scanning is broader and faster; pentesting is deeper and more targeted. Both are important.
Will vulnerability scanning disrupt normal operations?
Scans are designed to be safe, but older or sensitive systems may require slower or limited scans. We always plan the approach with your team to avoid disruptions.
What does the final vulnerability scanning report include?
The report contains identified issues, severity ratings, affected systems, explanations in simple terms, and recommended fixes. It also outlines which vulnerabilities should be addressed first based on risk.
Do you provide guidance on how to fix the vulnerabilities found?
Yes. Each finding includes a clear explanation and practical fix steps. The goal is to help your IT team understand exactly what needs to be done without confusion.
Can vulnerability scanning help with compliance requirements?
Yes. Many standards — including ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA — require regular vulnerability assessments. The reports help demonstrate security monitoring and risk management.
