All you need to know about Vulnerability Reports
Vulnerability reports are your own personal roadmap to strengthening your cybersecurity posture. They keep you compliant with industrial standards like GDPR, Cyber Essentials, etc. As well as keeping your customers and clients happy and secure.
But before we dive in, let’s take a look at what exactly vulnerability reports are.
What is a Vulnerability Report
Vulnerability reports records a detailed analysis of all the vulnerabilities uncovered in your systems during a security test.
Good vulnerability reports will lay these vulnerabilities out clearly, explain the threats they pose and list out the steps to fix these issues.

FAQs
What are Vulnerability Reports?
A Vulnerability Report is a detailed assessment that identifies potential security weaknesses within your IT infrastructure. It highlights areas where your systems, applications, or networks may be susceptible to cyberattacks or unauthorised access. The goal is to help you mitigate risks before they can be exploited.
Why are Vulnerability Reports Important?
Vulnerability reports are critical because they provide actionable insights into your security posture. By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities early, you can significantly reduce the risk of breaches, data theft, and other security incidents. Regular vulnerability assessments help ensure that your systems comply with industry standards and regulations.
What Types of vulnerabilities are identified in these reports?
Our vulnerability reports typically cover a wide range of potential risks, including:
- Outdated or unpatched software
- Weak or compromised passwords
- Misconfigurations in your systems or network
- Unsecured open ports
- Known vulnerabilities in third-party applications or systems
How often should we perform vulnerabilirty reports?
The frequency of vulnerability assessments depends on several factors, including the size of your organisation, the complexity of your IT environment, and your industry’s compliance requirements. However, we recommend performing vulnerability assessments at least quarterly, or after significant system changes, to ensure ongoing security.
What steps are taken after?
Once vulnerabilities are identified, our team provides you with detailed recommendations on how to fix or mitigate each issue. You can implement these changes yourself, or we can assist you with remediation to ensure the vulnerabilities are fully addressed. After fixes are made, follow-up scans can be conducted to verify that the vulnerabilities have been successfully resolved.
Can a Vulnerability Report Guarantee that my system is secure?
While a Vulnerability Report significantly improves your system’s security by highlighting and addressing weaknesses, it cannot guarantee complete protection. Cybersecurity is an ongoing process, as new vulnerabilities are discovered regularly. Regular vulnerability assessments, combined with other security measures like monitoring, patching, and employee training, offer the best protection against potential threats.
How long does a report take to generate?
The time required to generate a vulnerability report depends on the complexity of your system and the scope of the assessment. Typically, the scanning process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, with the final report being delivered shortly after the assessment is complete.
Is my data safe during the scanning process?
Yes, your data is fully protected throughout the vulnerability assessment process. Our scanning tools are designed to detect vulnerabilities without interfering with your operations or compromising the integrity of your data. We adhere to strict security protocols to ensure your sensitive information remains secure.
Do I need an IT Degree to understand the report?
Not at all! Our reports are designed to be user-friendly and easy to understand. Along with technical details, we provide clear, actionable steps for addressing any vulnerabilities. Additionally, our team is always available to walk you through the findings and answer any questions you may have.
