Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability Management for Co-managed IT

Turn technical findings into prioritised action. Cloud Agile can help identify, assess and manage vulnerabilities in the agreed environment, coordinate remediation and provide evidence of progress alongside your team.

Overview

Our Approach to Vulnerability Management

A list of scan results is not a plan. We define the scope, validate what matters and agree who fixes what, then verify and report the result.

Based in the UK. Working internationally.

Our consultancy model supports remote collaboration with leadership and IT teams across locations. At the start of each engagement, we agree the countries and entities in scope, meeting arrangements, delivery responsibilities and any onsite requirements. Service hours and response commitments are set out in the agreed scope.

What's Included

Everything You Need From Vulnerability Management

  • Asset and scope definition
  • Authorised discovery
  • Scan coverage and limitations
  • Validation and triage
  • Exposure and business impact
  • Priorities and accountable owners
  • Remediation coordination
  • Retesting and reporting

Scope and authorised discovery

We agree the assets and environments in scope and the authority for discovery and scanning. Coverage limitations are recorded so reports show what was and was not assessed.

Validate, triage and prioritise

Findings are validated and prioritised by exposure and business impact, then assigned to accountable owners.

Remediate and verify

Where remediation is IT work, Cloud Agile can implement the agreed changes. Fixes are retested and progress is reported. Client leadership approves any remaining-risk decision; mandatory requirements remain applicable.

  • Scoped findings backlog.
  • Prioritised remediation plan.
  • Accountable owners.
  • Exception and risk-decision records.
  • Progress reporting.

How this differs from penetration testing and monitoring

Vulnerability management is an ongoing cycle of discovery, prioritisation and remediation. Penetration testing is a time-bound attempt to exploit weaknesses, and incident monitoring watches for active threats. They address different needs and can work together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this only scanning?+

No. The agreed service can include prioritisation, coordination, technical remediation and verification.

Can we combine this with patch management?+

Yes. Patching treats some findings; other findings need configuration, access, architecture or other changes.
