Know exactly where you are exposed, and which vulnerabilities actually matter.
Most organizations have thousands of vulnerabilities in their environment. Only a fraction are reachable, exploitable, or relevant to your business. Armour Cybersecurity conducts comprehensive vulnerability assessments across your network, systems, applications, and cloud infrastructure, validates the findings, removes false positives, and prioritizes the work by real business risk so your remediation effort goes where it counts.
Identification with validation, not scanner output dumped on your desk.
A vulnerability assessment is a systematic identification of security weaknesses across your environment, conducted without exploitation. The point is to surface what is exposed and how serious it is, prioritized by business risk so remediation effort is focused where it actually reduces exposure.
The difference between a useful assessment and an unusable one is validation. Modern scanners produce thousands of findings, many of which are false positives, duplicates, or vulnerabilities in systems that are not actually reachable. Armour Cybersecurity validates critical findings through manual testing, removes false positives, correlates findings across scanners, and applies business context so your remediation team works from a defensible, prioritized list rather than a noisy dashboard.
Engagements cover network and system scanning, cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, web application scanning where in scope, and database configuration assessment. Findings are scored using CVSS, contextualized to your business, and packaged with a remediation roadmap that ranks the work by risk and effort. Every assessment is delivered against documented methodology aligned to NIST SP 800-115, OWASP, and CIS Benchmarks.
Where most vulnerability programs underperform.
Running scans is the easy part. Turning scanner output into action that meaningfully reduces risk is where most programs break down. The gap between findings identified and findings remediated is where attackers live.
Running scanners without a program
- Thousands of findings dumped into a dashboard with no prioritization.
- False positives consuming engineering time on vulnerabilities that do not exist.
- Critical findings buried in the noise and missed until exploitation.
- No correlation between findings from different scanners covering overlapping scope.
- Generic CVSS scores applied without business context that matters to your environment.
- Cloud, network, and application findings tracked in separate systems with no unified view.
- Remediation timelines that never get met because no one ranks the work realistically.

- Methodology aligned to NIST SP 800-115, OWASP, and CIS Benchmarks for audit defensibility.
Coverage across every surface where vulnerabilities live.
Engage individual assessment types or coordinated multi-surface engagements. Every assessment is delivered against the same standardized methodology so findings compose cleanly into a unified vulnerability picture.
Network Infrastructure Scanning
Authenticated and unauthenticated scanning of network infrastructure including routers, switches, firewalls, and other appliances. Identifies misconfigurations, outdated firmware, and exposed services.
Server & Workstation Assessment
Vulnerability scanning across Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints covering operating system patching, installed software, and configuration weaknesses against industry hardening benchmarks.
Web Application Scanning
Automated web application vulnerability scanning aligned to OWASP methodology. Covers injection flaws, authentication issues, misconfiguration, and known component vulnerabilities.
Cloud Infrastructure Assessment
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud scanning covering identity and access management configuration, exposed services, storage misconfiguration, and posture against cloud security benchmarks.
Database Configuration Review
Assessment of database engines and configurations covering access controls, encryption posture, audit logging, default credentials, and hardening against industry-standard database benchmarks.
Configuration Compliance
Assessment of system configurations against CIS Benchmarks and other recognized hardening standards. Identifies drift from secure baselines that scanners do not always flag as vulnerabilities.
Manual Validation & False-Positive Removal
Manual verification of critical findings, removal of false positives, correlation of duplicates across scanners, and documentation of evidence and reproduction steps for every confirmed finding.
Risk-Based Prioritization
CVSS scoring adjusted for business context, asset criticality, and real exploitability. Prioritized remediation roadmap ranked by risk reduction per unit of remediation effort.
Remediation Tracking & Re-Assessment
Remediation tracking dashboard, scheduled re-scanning to validate closure, and trend reporting across assessment cycles. Optional retainer for ongoing vulnerability management support.
Built for organizations that want exposure made measurable.
Companies pursuing certification
Vulnerability assessment is a common requirement for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and CMMC. Our reports are structured for direct use during the formal audit engagement.
Recurring assessment cycles
Organizations with quarterly or annual vulnerability assessment obligations needing efficient delivery, consistent methodology, and trend reporting across cycles rather than one-off engagements.
Mid-market and enterprise environments
Organizations with substantial endpoint, server, network, and cloud footprints needing structured assessment that scales beyond what point-in-time scanner output alone provides.
Post-incident or pre-launch
Organizations that experienced an incident and need a clear picture of residual exposure, or businesses preparing for a major launch, migration, or audit and needing baseline assessment beforehand.
A six-phase engagement built on disciplined consulting practice.
Every Armour Cybersecurity vulnerability assessment engagement follows the same standardized phases. The discipline is what turns scanner output into actionable risk reduction.
Assessment Planning & Scoping
Define the asset inventory and criticality levels, establish scanning scope and methodology, configure scanner credentials and access, and plan scanning windows to minimize disruption to the business.
Network & System Scanning
Execute authenticated scans of network infrastructure, perform system and application vulnerability scans, conduct database configuration assessments, and scan cloud-based systems and services in scope.
Data Analysis & Correlation
Compile vulnerability data from multiple scanners, eliminate duplicate findings and false positives, correlate vulnerabilities with business criticality, and assess exploitability and business impact for each finding.
Risk Scoring & Prioritization
Assign CVSS scores to each vulnerability, add business context for risk adjustment, prioritize remediation order by risk and effort, and create a remediation timeline and roadmap your team can execute against.
Validation & Verification
Validate critical findings through manual testing, confirm environmental context for each vulnerability, document evidence and reproduction steps, and perform a quality assurance review of every finding in the report.
Reporting & Remediation Planning
Generate an executive summary with key metrics, create the detailed vulnerability inventory, provide remediation recommendations with reproduction steps, and schedule a follow-up assessment to validate closure.
Reports written for the people who actually fix the issues.
Every deliverable is structured for direct use by executives, engineers, and external auditors when applicable.
Vulnerability Assessment Report
Complete findings with business context, executive summary, severity breakdown, and recommendations sized for both leadership and engineering consumption.
Detailed Finding Inventory
Every confirmed finding documented with CVSS score, affected asset, evidence, business impact, and remediation steps written for the engineer who will close it.
Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
Findings ranked by risk reduction and remediation effort, packaged as a delivery-ready roadmap with timelines, ownership, and milestones.
Asset Inventory
Confirmed inventory of systems, applications, and cloud assets actually scanned during the engagement, with classification and criticality scoring.
