Validate attack paths, not just scanner findings
A penetration test evaluates whether weaknesses can combine into an actionable attack path. Vulnerability Assurance emphasizes authorized validation, reproducible findings, and a clear remediation handoff. The scope may focus on an external network, internal access paths, or an application, depending on your priorities and the permissions available.
What the service covers
Agree rules before testing
Define targets, allowed methods, testing windows, stop conditions, contacts, and evidence handling. Obtain authorization for third-party assets and exclude disruptive techniques unless separately approved within a controlled environment.
Make findings useful to remediation teams
Document the preconditions, observed impact, supporting evidence, and limits of each finding. Explain how the weakness could be addressed and which retest would demonstrate that the original path is no longer available.
Practical deliverables
Scope and deliverables are agreed before work begins. Depending on your environment, the engagement can include:
- Written scope and rules of engagement.
- Technical findings with reproducible, appropriately protected evidence.
- A business-focused summary and prioritized remediation recommendations.
- An agreed retesting scope.
Should penetration testing replace vulnerability scanning?
No. Scanning provides breadth and repeatability; penetration testing adds focused manual investigation and attack-path validation. Both have limits, and neither guarantees that all vulnerabilities have been discovered.
