Threats don't just come from the outside. Internal vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and unpatched systems give attackers — or insider threats — an easy path into your network. Our internal assessments combine automated scanning with hands-on expert analysis to uncover risks that tools alone miss.
OVERVIEW
More than a scan. A real security report.
Most security breaches exploit internal weaknesses — misconfigured servers, excessive permissions, and overlooked vulnerabilities. Our assessment goes beyond automated tooling to give you an expert-validated security report with actionable findings, risk-prioritized results, and a clear remediation plan.
- Expert-Driven Analysis – Every assessment is conducted by senior cybersecurity analysts with deep contextual understanding of your environment.
- Manual Validation & Risk-Based Prioritization – Our team verifies findings, eliminates false positives, and simulates attack paths to provide real-world risk context.
- Strategic Remediation Plan – We don't just hand you a list of vulnerabilities. You get tailored, actionable recommendations designed to improve your security posture.
Our methodology aligns with industry best practices, drawing on principles from NIST SP 800-115 and OWASP Testing frameworks to ensure a thorough evaluation of your internal network.
PROCESS
How we find what automated tools miss
We combine proven vulnerability detection tools with hands-on cybersecurity expertise to deliver risk-prioritized findings — not just a raw scan dump.
Reconnaissance & Asset Discovery
- Identify all active hosts, services, and open ports within your internal network.
- Manually review discovered services to detect potential security gaps.
- Evaluate network segmentation and lateral movement potential.
Advanced Vulnerability Testing
- Automated & Manual Testing: We combine credentialed and non-credentialed scans (full, user, null) with manual validation to uncover misconfigurations, access control weaknesses, and system vulnerabilities.
- Cross-reference vulnerabilities against over 100,000 known threats and 45,000+ CVEs.
- Identify business-critical risks beyond generic security misconfigurations.
Expert Validation & Risk-Based Prioritization
- Eliminate false positives through manual expert verification.
- Assess real-world attack feasibility, lateral movement potential, and privilege escalation risks.
- Surface vulnerabilities that automated scanners overlook.
Security Report & Remediation Strategy
- Receive a detailed, risk-prioritized security report with expert-written analysis.
- Strategic recommendations tailored to your business impact, compliance needs, and security goals.
- Follow-up validation scans to confirm successful remediation.
BENEFITS
Why this isn't just another vulnerability scan
Every assessment is conducted by experienced security professionals — not just automated tools running on autopilot.
What sets our assessments apart
- Real-World Attack Simulations – Manual testing validates lateral movement risks, privilege escalation, and real-world exploitability.
- False Positive Reduction – Automated tools generate noise. Our experts filter out irrelevant findings and focus on the security gaps that actually matter.
- Custom Security Insights – Each report includes expert-driven analysis and practical remediation steps, not just a raw list of vulnerabilities.
- Compliance & Regulatory Support – Meets security assessment requirements for GLBA, FINRA, NCUA, HIPAA, SOX, SSAE 18, PCI DSS, and more.
- Continuous Security Improvement – Establish a baseline security health check, track trending vulnerabilities, and demonstrate security diligence over time.

At minimum, annually. But quarterly assessments are best practice, especially for organizations handling sensitive data or operating in regulated industries. You should also run an assessment after:
- Significant network changes — system upgrades, cloud migrations, or policy updates.
- Security incidents that require investigation and remediation validation.
- Compliance audits that mandate ongoing security testing.
A detailed evaluation of your internal network security posture, covering:
- Network infrastructure – Servers, workstations, routers, and firewalls.
- Access controls – Authentication mechanisms, password policies, and misconfigurations.
- Applications & services – Outdated software and security weaknesses.
- Cloud & virtual environments – Misconfigurations and security risks.
- Unpatched software & misconfigurations – Outdated systems and security weaknesses.
- Access control risks – Weak authentication settings and permission misconfigurations.
- Network weaknesses – Open ports, outdated services, and infrastructure risks.
- Cloud security gaps – Exposure risks and misconfigurations in cloud-hosted environments.
Yes. Our assessments align with industry best practices and help organizations meet requirements for:

- HIPAA / HITECH (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
- SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act)
- GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)
- FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority)
- SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) / SSAE 18
- ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System - ISMS)
- NIST 800-53 & NIST 800-171
- FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program)
- CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification - DoD Contractors)
- NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR 500)
- FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act)
- CIS (Center for Internet Security) Controls
- NERC CIP (North American Electric Reliability Corporation - Critical Infrastructure Protection)
Our assessments identify and address security gaps that map directly to these compliance mandates.
No. Our methodology is designed to minimize operational impact:
- Non-invasive scans that don't interfere with normal business operations.
- Testing windows scheduled around your operational requirements.
- Credentialed scanning for deeper insights without disruption.
- A comprehensive security report outlining identified vulnerabilities and risk levels.
- Actionable remediation guidance to prioritize your security improvements.
- Optional re-scanning to validate fixes and confirm your environment is clean.
