Recurring Vulnerability Management

Internal and external scans, risk-based prioritization, and remediation tracking to manage vulnerabilities in your infrastructure

Navighează la

Vulnerabilities change with infrastructure, applications, and threats. Safetech Innovations' Recurrent Vulnerability Management service helps you identify security issues, prioritize remediation, and track evolving risk through a monthly schedule.

We correlate the results of the scans with the specialists' analysis and with information about the evaluated environment. The organization receives recommendations for the technical teams and an image of the priorities for management, within the agreed perimeter.

Utility and benefits

The service is aimed at organizations that need repeated vulnerability assessments and follow-up of remediation measures, including in mixed or frequently changing infrastructures.
By collaborating with Safetech you benefit from:

Visibility into vulnerabilities

Identify issues in internal and external assets included in the service

Context-based priorities

Ordering findings by severity, exploitability, and impact on the organization

Remediation support

Recommendations and a plan that can be used by the responsible teams

Tracking progress

Highlighting new vulnerabilities, fixed vulnerabilities and the evolution of risk over time

Management reporting

Technical and executive results that support decisions on the measures and resources needed

Service Methodology and Characteristics

The Recurring Vulnerability Management service has the following characteristics:

Domain definition and authorization

We determine covered assets, internal and external scans, access conditions, and execution windows. We agree on scan frequency, severity thresholds, prioritization criteria, and remediation responsibilities, along with contacts and exclusions.

Scanning and analysis of findings

We run scans within the authorized perimeter and analyze the results to identify and classify relevant vulnerabilities. Checks track agreed assets and services, within the limits of access and available information. Analysis of findings supports filtering out irrelevant results and clarifying those that require further investigation.

Nessus Professional, Nessus Expert and the internal Safetech Vulnerability Management tool can be used, according to the scope and requirements of the collaboration. The selection of technologies and the conditions of use of licenses are defined for the contracted service.

Contextual prioritization

The assessment takes into account the technical severity, including CVSS, along with the context of the organisation. We analyse factors such as the existence and feasibility of using exploitation methods and the potential impact on the systems assessed, in order to establish the order of interventions.

Safetech’s own scoring methodology supports risk assessment at the level of the assets and infrastructure included. The results help teams focus their efforts on priority vulnerabilities and allow the evolution of risk to be compared between the periods analyzed.

Remediation planning

We formulate recommendations and a prioritized remediation plan. We clarify the findings and proposed measures with the organization’s leaders, to support the planning of actions.

The implementation of fixes is the responsibility of the designated teams according to the agreed responsibilities. Patch management and configuration modification are activities that are defined distinctly from the analysis and recommendations of the Vulnerability Management service.

Rescanning and tracking progress

We track the retest and verify remediation through rescans in the domain and at the agreed intervals. We compare the results for the included assets and highlight new vulnerabilities, findings that remain open and measures verified. The evolution of risk scores and explanations of the changes observed support the prioritization for the next period.

Deliverables, mode of collaboration, and complementary services

Deliverables

The deliverables of the recurring program are:

  • Monthly scan report — findings and verification results for valued assets.
  • Top of prioritized vulnerabilities — issues that need attention, sorted according to agreed criteria.
  • Remediation plan — recommended measures for identified vulnerabilities.
  • Risk dashboard — visibility into the situation and evolution of the risk in the field of the service.
  • Executive report — findings and priorities presented to management.

The content of the reports, the severity thresholds and the acceptance criteria are established for each collaboration. The follow-up of the evolution takes into account the coverage of scans and changes in the infrastructure.

Collaboration mode and complementary services

Vulnerability Management is a monthly recurring service. The frequency of scans, rescans, and updating of information in the dashboard is agreed based on assets, access, and objectives. The scan schedule is defined separately from the coverage of SOC monitoring services.

Vulnerability and patch management auditing evaluates the organization’s processes and controls. Infrastructure penetration testing aims to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in an authorized manner. Rapid assessment of the external attack surface is also a distinct service that is contracted separately.

For operational threat monitoring and treatment, you can select SOC/MDR services, with their own objectives and responsibilities.

What recommends us?

The scoring methodology developed internally by Safetech correlates the technical severity of vulnerabilities with the possibility of exploitation and the impact on the organization. Contextual analysis helps teams set remediation priorities at the level of the assets and infrastructure included in the service.

Our experience in security testing and operations supports the interpretation of findings and the formulation of practical recommendations. We follow the evolution of vulnerabilities and risk scores, so that the organization understands the changes observed and can evaluate the progress of the measures implemented.
