What It Is
Identify Weaknesses
Before Attackers Do
An external vulnerability scan is a systematic assessment of your internet-facing infrastructure — web servers, APIs, email services, and remote access gateways — to identify known security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
Unlike a full penetration test, a vulnerability scan does not attempt to exploit findings. Instead, it provides a comprehensive inventory of potential weaknesses ranked by severity, giving your team a clear roadmap for remediation.
This approach is ideal for organizations that need to demonstrate regular security assessment to their cyber insurer without the higher cost and longer timeline of a full adversarial simulation.
Vulnerability Scanning
Standalone — cyber insurance compliant
- Faster turnaround than a full penetration test
- Lower cost while still meeting insurer requirements
- Annual compliance cycle support
- Clear remediation guidance with severity ratings
- Re-scan option to verify fixes
- Executive summary for leadership
Who It's For
Cyber Insurance Compliance
Many cyber insurance policies require evidence of regular vulnerability assessments. Our standalone scanning service provides exactly that — a formal report you can submit directly to your insurer.
VSAT now carries active Cyber Liability insurance. Our vulnerability scanning service is backed by real, compliance-aligned coverage — protecting you and signalling credibility to your cyber insurer, not a future intent. If your policy requires "penetration testing" rather than a scan, you'll need our External Pentest service instead.
