Know your exposure. Prioritise what matters. Raw scanner output isn't a vulnerability assessment — it's noise.

// Overview

Vulnerability Assessment Services

A vulnerability scanner can identify thousands of potential issues. A vulnerability assessment tells you which ones actually matter, which are false positives, and what you need to fix first. HackLabs analysts validate, contextualise, and prioritise every finding against your actual environment — giving you a clear, actionable picture of your risk posture without the noise that paralyses remediation teams.

// CREST Accredited

What we test

Network Vulnerability Scanning

Comprehensive internal and external network scanning using industry-leading tooling, covering all discoverable hosts, services, and open ports.

Expert Validation

Every finding is reviewed by a senior analyst. False positives are removed. Exploitability is assessed in context. You get signal, not noise.

CVE Identification

Identification of known CVEs with CVSS severity scores, vendor patch availability, and exploitability ratings from NVD and threat intelligence sources.

Patch Gap Analysis

Systematic review of patch levels across your environment — identifying systems running vulnerable software versions, EOL components, and unpatched critical vulnerabilities.

Asset Discovery

Passive and active discovery of assets across your network, including shadow IT, forgotten systems, and cloud resources outside your CMDB.

Remediation Roadmap

Prioritised remediation guidance aligned to business risk — telling you what to fix first, what to accept, and what mitigating controls apply.
