Vulnerability scanning FAQs
- External scanning looks at your network and systems from the outside, simulating the perspective of a hacker trying to break in via the internet.
- Internal scanning reviews the systems inside your network, checking for risks that could be exploited by employees, contractors, or anyone who has gained access to your internal environment.
Both approaches are important for a full view of your security posture.
Yes. Vulnerability scanning is a key requirement for many compliance frameworks, including ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR and Cyber Essentials. Our reports provide evidence that regular checks are carried out, making audits smoother and ensuring you meet your regulatory obligations.
Scans detect a wide range of issues, including:
- Missing security patches and updates.
- Weak or default passwords.
- Unsecured configurations.
- Outdated software and operating systems.
- Known exploits and exposure to malware risks.
By highlighting these problems, you can prioritise fixes before they are exploited.
No. Modern vulnerability scanning tools are designed to be non-intrusive and safe to run on live environments. They won’t take your systems offline. In some cases, a scan may briefly increase network traffic but it won’t affect performance or availability.
Best practice is to run vulnerability scans at least once a month and always after major system updates, new deployments or configuration changes. High-risk environments, such as those handling sensitive customer data, often use continuous or weekly scanning to ensure issues are spotted quickly.
Vulnerability scanning is the process of automatically checking your systems, networks and applications for security weaknesses. It helps identify issues such as outdated software, missing patches or misconfigurations before attackers can exploit them. Regular scanning is vital for reducing risk, protecting sensitive data and maintaining compliance with industry standards.
While it’s useful for continuous monitoring, vulnerability scanning should be complemented with penetration testing for a deeper assessment and to uncover more complex risks.
