How Vulnerability Scanning works
Keeping a constant eye on your vulnerabilities, so you don’t have to
Detect
Our software performs scheduled and real-time scans on the systems that you specify - including public IPs, web apps, cloud resources, and internal systems - to identify vulnerabilities.
Running once every 48 hours, you'll always have the most up to date information to work form.
Protect
We use CVSS scores, exploit availability, asset value, and threat intelligence to prioritise vulnerabilities that pose the greatest real-world risk.
Information on the vulnerability, including a detailed description of the impact it could have is imported directly from the CVE library.
Support
The results of each scan and every vulnerability it identifies are stored in the HackRisk dashboard, along with our expert remediation advice.
You'll receive precise recommendations of the next steps for every single vulnerability we identify, whatever the severity.

FAQs
What is Vulnerability Scanning?
Vulnerability Scanning is a service with HackRisk that identifies security weaknesses in your systems, applications, and networks – helping you fix issues before they can be exploited.
What types of assets can be scanned?
You can scan public IPs, domains, web applications, cloud infrastructure, internal devices, and APIs – anything with a digital footprint.
How often are scans performed?
Scans can be scheduled to run every 24–48 hours or triggered on demand, depending on your needs and risk tolerance.
Will the scans disrupt my services?
No – the scanning engine is designed to be non-intrusive and safe for production environments.
How are vulnerabilities prioritised?
Vulnerabilities are scored based on industry standards like CVSS, along with real-world exploitability, asset criticality, and threat intelligence to help you focus on what matters most.
Do I need technical expertise to use the service?
Not at all. The dashboard provides clear, human-readable explanations of each issue, along with step-by-step remediation advice – no deep security knowledge required.
Can I scan internal systems behind my firewall?
Yes — by deploying our secure internal scanning agent you can extend coverage to devices inside your network perimeter.
How are scan results delivered?
Results are accessible through a web-based dashboard with downloadable reports, risk summaries, and integration options.
Is this the same as penetration testing?
No. Vulnerability scanning is automated and ongoing, while penetration testing is manual, point-in-time, and focused on exploiting weaknesses. Both are valuable but serve different purposes.
What happens after a vulnerability is found?
You’ll receive detailed remediation guidance for each issue. Our Remediation Centre helps you track, assign, and resolve vulnerabilities efficiently, with the option to rescan once fixes are in place.
