We name our platform
Most managed providers will not tell you what they scan with. We run on Tenable One, an industry-leading exposure management platform. No mystery box.
Managed vulnerability management on Tenable One
Continuous Vulnerability Management
A scan once a quarter tells you where you stood last quarter. New vulnerabilities land every day, and once a critical one is being exploited at scale, you are in a race against attackers. We watch continuously, tell you what is genuinely exploitable in your environment, and help you fix it. Delivered on Tenable One, by a security firm that has assessed UK organisations since 2014.
The case
Why continuous beats periodic
Most providers run a scan, send a PDF, and move on. By the time you read it, the picture has changed.
The NCSC is blunt about the pace: once exploitation of a critical vulnerability is automated, "affected organisations are in a race against attackers to avoid a compromise". Lists of known-exploited vulnerabilities lag, because by their nature they only report exploitation that has already happened. Waiting for the next quarterly scan is waiting too long.
Continuous vulnerability management closes that gap. We assess continuously, so a newly disclosed, newly exploited vulnerability in your estate gets surfaced when it matters, not at the next scan window.
Continuous vulnerability management is the ongoing process of discovering, prioritising and fixing security weaknesses across your systems, rather than scanning periodically. It matters because attackers exploit newly disclosed vulnerabilities within days, sometimes hours.
The work
What we do
Discovery, deep scanning, risk-based prioritisation, and remediation driven to done.
Start with a scan-
Discover everything
Continuous, always-on discovery of your assets, known and unknown, across cloud, on-premises and remote infrastructure. You cannot fix what you cannot see.
-
Scan deeply
Authenticated, credentialed scanning with the Nessus engine, for an accurate picture, not a guess from the outside.
-
Prioritise by real risk
We rank findings using Tenable's Vulnerability Priority Rating alongside exploit prediction (EPSS) and CVSS, so you fix what is genuinely exploitable first, not whatever has the scariest name.
-
Score your exposure
Tenable One gives you a single Cyber Exposure Score and a trend over time, so you can see the risk falling and report it to your board.
-
Drive remediation
We turn findings into actions, route them into your workflow, and track them to closed. This is the part most "scan and report" services skip.
-
Validate
Where a finding is serious or contested, our CREST-qualified and Cyber Scheme testers can confirm whether it is genuinely exploitable.
Your partner
Why manage it with
We close the loop
Scanning is the easy part. We prioritise by exploitability and drive remediation to done, then prove it. Findings become fixes, not a backlog.
We turn output into evidence
Our reports are audit-ready for Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and CAF. Assessment is in our DNA: we have been an IASME Certification Body since 2014.
We have the offensive edge
In-house CREST-qualified and Cyber Scheme testers validate what matters, so you act on real risk.
North East based
Based in the North East. Watching, UK-wide.
We are based in Northumberland, on the same patch as the region's biggest IT providers, and we work with organisations across Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland and the wider North East. We deliver the same managed vulnerability management UK-wide. Local enough to know you, big enough to cover you.
The process
How it works
Four steps, fixed price, clear deliverables. Continuous from the first baseline on.
Book a scoping call-
Scope and baseline
We confirm what is in scope, deploy scanning and agents, and take your first exposure baseline.
-
Run continuously
Always-on discovery and assessment, with agent-based continuous scanning of changing hosts.
-
Prioritise and report
Risk-ranked findings, a Cyber Exposure Score, and a clear monthly report you can act on and show your board.
-
Remediate and validate
We drive fixes through to closure and validate the ones that matter.
Across the lifecycle
Beyond vulnerability management
One part of the Manage pillar. It pairs with Continuous Patch Management, which fixes what we find, and Attack Surface Management, which discovers the internet-facing assets you did not know you had. Cyber Essentials sets the baseline; penetration testing proves it. One firm, across the lifecycle.
Questions
Vulnerability management FAQs
What is continuous vulnerability management?
It is the ongoing process of discovering, prioritising and fixing security weaknesses across your systems, rather than scanning periodically. Because attackers exploit newly disclosed vulnerabilities within days, continuous monitoring surfaces and addresses risks as they appear, not at the next scheduled scan.
What is the difference between vulnerability management and a vulnerability assessment?
A vulnerability assessment is a point-in-time scan and report. Vulnerability management is the continuous cycle around it: discovery, risk-based prioritisation, remediation and verification. Management fixes the problem; an assessment only finds it.
How is a vulnerability scan different from a penetration test?
A vulnerability scan is automated and continuous, finding known weaknesses at scale. A penetration test is a manual, point-in-time exercise where a tester actively exploits weaknesses to show real impact. They are complementary, and we offer both.
How often should you run vulnerability scans?
Continuously. Periodic scanning leaves windows where new, exploited vulnerabilities go unseen. Our service runs always-on discovery and agent-based assessment, so changes and new vulnerabilities are picked up as they happen rather than at a quarterly checkpoint.
Does the service include fixing the vulnerabilities, or just finding them?
Both. We prioritise findings by real exploitability, drive remediation through to closure, and validate the fixes. Many providers stop at the report. We pair this with Continuous Patch Management to close the loop.
Is vulnerability scanning required for Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001?
Cyber Essentials requires you to keep software patched and free of known high-risk vulnerabilities, which vulnerability management makes manageable. ISO 27001:2022 expects management of technical vulnerabilities under Annex A 8.8. Our reports give you the evidence.
What platform do you use?
Tenable One, an exposure management platform powered by the Nessus scanning engine. It gives continuous discovery, risk-based prioritisation with Tenable's Vulnerability Priority Rating, and a single Cyber Exposure Score you can track over time.
