OFFENSIVE SECURITY · PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
See what attackers scan for, before they do
Low-cost, high-frequency visibility into exactly the exposure attackers look for first: assets discovered, scanned with credentials where they are available, findings validated by hand so the patching team is not chasing false positives, and a re-scan to confirm what closed — with a methodology that is safe and non-disruptive on sensitive OT/ICS assets.

WHAT'S COVERED
Scope of the engagement
01
Asset discovery
What is actually on the ranges in scope, compared with what you expected to find — the difference is usually the first finding.
02
Authenticated scanning
Credentialed scans wherever they are agreed, because an unauthenticated scan sees the outside of a host and misses most of what is wrong with it.
03
OT/ICS-safe methodology
Built for sensitive industrial assets: what is scanned, how and in which window is agreed with the engineers who run the process before anything starts.
04
False-positive validation
Every finding that will cost someone time is checked by an engineer first, so the list the patching team receives is real.
05
Risk rating & remediation guidance
Findings rated by exploitability and exposure rather than by scanner score alone, with clear guidance on what to fix and in which order.
06
Re-scan & recurring programme
A re-scan to confirm closure, and — where the estate changes often enough — a recurring cycle so the picture never goes stale.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you ask
How is this different from a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment finds and validates known weaknesses across the estate, broadly and often. A penetration test exploits them to prove what an attacker could actually achieve. Most estates need the assessment frequently and the test periodically.
Is scanning safe on our OT network?
The methodology is built for sensitive OT/ICS assets and is non-disruptive by design: what is scanned, how, and in which window is agreed with the engineers who run the process before anything starts, and a contact on your side can pause it at any point.
Can this run as a recurring programme?
Yes. Recurring assessment programmes are run for regulated financial clients, on a cycle that matches how fast the estate changes — see the recurring test programme under how we engage commercially.
THE DELIVERABLE
What lands on your desk at the end
Before you sign, ask us exactly what the report contains — it is the fastest way to judge whether the work is worth buying.

WHAT A CONSULTATION LOOKS LIKE
01
A conversation with an engineer
Not a sales call. Bring your architecture and your constraints.
02
A written gap summary
Prioritised, with what we would do first and why.
03
No obligation, no follow-up sequence
If it is not a fit we will say so on the call.
