Helping to identify and assess an organisation’s security vulnerabilities
Vulnerability assessments are a key part of ensuring a business has a strong security posture, used to identify, quantify, and analyse security vulnerabilities in the IT infrastructure and applications. Since 2020, we have offered vulnerability assessment services, using reliable tools to scan vulnerabilities and provides accurate and in-depth final reports.
By focusing on IT infrastructure and applications, Outcomex ensures that the technology and sensitive data that is key to your business is kept secure and protected from cyber-attacks. We do so by deploying patches, improving security and functionality, and identifying weak configurations and unknown issues – complying with the major security regulatory standards.

Our vulnerability assessment focus areas
IT infrastructure
Network
We assess the efficiency of your network segmentation, end points, server, and network access restriction.
Penetration Testing
We help strengthen your security posture through an integrated five-step process, addressing vulnerabilities in a business’ network and any new security flaws.
Applications
Web applications
We assess the susceptibility of a web app to various attacks following the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 Application Security Risks.
Mobile applications
We evaluate the security level of a mobile app following OWASP’s Top 10 Mobile Risks.
Desktop applications
We assess how data is stored in an app, how this app transfers information, and whether any authentication is provided.
Vulnerability management plan
Based on a number of factors about your business, like the complexity and size of your network infrastructure, our team of security experts put together a vulnerability plan by following the below process:
Vulnerability scanning plan
This entails defining the business’s assessment goals, inclusive of compliance checks, by creating a thorough checklist of what needs to be assessed – and determining the type of scan needed (external or internal).
Scan configuration
Discovering which IPs are at risk of being targeted, by understanding which hardware or software they belong to, and adding these addresses to our tool.
Scanning the network for open ports and defining port ranges and protocol types (TCP or UDP), including setting up the scan level and duration.
Vulnerability scan
Scanning the targeted networks and software.
Scan analysis
We manually analyse the scan findings to validate the identified security vulnerabilities, and to determine what the root cause and impact of these vulnerabilities are.
Vulnerabilities report
You will receive vulnerability assessment findings report containing:
- Vulnerabilities detected within your network, their description and severity level.
- Corrective actions for each vulnerability.
- The Vulnerability assessment methodology and tools used for your vulnerability assessment scan.
Patch management
We provide identification, testing, deployment, and verification patches (remediations) to vulnerable operating systems and applications found on devices.
