Internal Vulnerability Assessments

Cyber threats don’t just come from the outside. Internal vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and unpatched systems can provide attackers—or even insider threats—an entry point into your network. Unlike generic vulnerability scans, our Internal Vulnerability Assessment is conducted by seasoned cybersecurity experts who combine automated scanning with hands-on, manual analysis to uncover hidden risks that automated tools often miss.

Overview

Our assessment goes beyond just running automated tools. Receive an expert-validated security report with actionable insights, tailored risk assessments, and strategic remediation guidance. Most security breaches exploit internal weaknesses—misconfigured servers, excessive permissions, and overlooked vulnerabilities. 

  • Expert-Driven Analysis – Each assessment is conducted by senior cybersecurity analysts, ensuring deep contextual understanding of your environment.
  • Manual Validation & Risk-Based Prioritization – Our experts verify findings, eliminate false positives, and simulate attack paths to provide real-world risk context.
  • Strategic Remediation Plan – We don’t just report vulnerabilities; we provide tailored, actionable security 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 comprehensive security evaluation of your internal network.

PROCESS

Expert-Driven, Multi-Layered Security Analysis

We combine cutting-edge vulnerability detection tools with hands-on cybersecurity expertise to provide risk-prioritized insights that go beyond basic scanning.

Expert Reconnaissance & Asset Discovery

  • Identify all active hosts, services, and open ports within your internal network.
  • Perform manual review of 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.

Cybersecurity Expert Validation & Risk-Based Prioritization

  • Eliminate false positives through manual expert verification.
  • Assess real-world attack feasibility, lateral movement potential, and privilege escalation risks.
  • Provide insights into undetected vulnerabilities that automated scanners overlook.

Tailored Security Report & Expert Remediation Strategy

Frequently asked questions

How often should we conduct internal vulnerability assessments?

At a minimum, an annual assessment is recommended. However, quarterly assessments are considered best practice, especially for organizations handling sensitive data or operating in regulated industries. Additional assessments should be conducted after:

  • Significant network changes (system upgrades, cloud migrations, or policy updates).
  • Security incidents requiring investigation and remediation validation.
  • Compliance audits that mandate ongoing security testing.

What does an internal vulnerability assessment cover?

Our assessment provides 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 – Identifies outdated software and security weaknesses.
  • Cloud & virtual environments – Assesses misconfigurations and security risks.

What types of vulnerabilities are identified?

  • Unpatched software & misconfigurations – Detects outdated systems and security weaknesses.
  • Access control risks – Identifies weak authentication settings and security misconfigurations.
  • Network weaknesses – Highlights open ports, outdated services, and infrastructure risks.
  • Cloud security gaps – Evaluates security settings and exposure risks in cloud-hosted environments.

Does this help with compliance?

Yes, our assessments align with industry security best practices and help organizations meet compliance requirements for:

  •  PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
  •  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 assessment helps businesses align with compliance mandates by identifying and addressing security gaps.

Will the assessment disrupt operations?

Our methodology minimizes operational impact by:

  • Conducting non-invasive scans that do not interfere with normal business activities.
  • Scheduling testing windows to align with operational requirements.
  • Using credentialed scanning to provide deeper security insights.
