Website Vulnerability Assessment
Identify common weaknesses, insecure configurations, exposed services, outdated components and web application risks.
Vulnerability Assessment
Identify. Understand. Prioritise.
Identify, understand and prioritise security weaknesses before they become business incidents.
Clearer risk decisions
Find what needs attention first.
CX Resources helps identify and manage vulnerabilities affecting public-facing websites, web applications, servers, APIs, network devices, and internal or external network environments.
Each engagement begins with written scope and authorisation. Findings are reviewed and prioritised to give business and technical stakeholders a clearer basis for remediation.
Assessment areas
Coverage shaped around the agreed scope.
Assessment activities are selected according to the authorised assets, exposure and business priorities.
Server Vulnerability Assessment
Assess server operating systems, exposed services, missing patches, insecure configurations and known vulnerabilities.
Network Vulnerability Assessment
Discover reachable assets, exposed ports, vulnerable network services and security configuration weaknesses.
API Security Assessment
Review API exposure and common API security risks, subject to the agreed assessment scope and authorisation.
Recognised technologies
Tools support the assessment. They do not replace judgement.
The existing CX Resources service uses established open-source technologies for discovery and testing. Tool output is interpreted within the approved scope and reviewed for relevance.
OpenVAS
Used for vulnerability scanning and identification of known vulnerabilities across authorised systems.
Nmap
Used for asset discovery, port identification and service detection within the authorised environment.
OWASP ZAP
Used for web application security testing and identification of common web risks.
Methodology
A structured path from scope to remediation.
Scope and authorisation
Confirm targets, boundaries, testing windows, contacts and written permission.
Asset discovery
Identify the reachable assets and services relevant to the agreed assessment.
Vulnerability scanning
Use appropriate tools to identify known weaknesses and insecure exposure.
Manual review
Review findings, remove obvious false positives and add useful technical context.
Risk prioritisation
Classify findings so remediation can focus on the most important weaknesses.
Reporting and guidance
Provide evidence where appropriate and recommend practical remediation actions.
Optional verification scan
Reassess agreed items after remediation to verify whether the identified exposure remains.
Potential deliverables
Findings built for action.
Final deliverables depend on the agreed scope and engagement format.
- Executive summary
- Technical findings and affected assets
- Risk or severity classification
- Evidence where appropriate
- Recommended remediation actions
- Prioritised remediation roadmap
- Optional verification or rescan
Vulnerability assessment is not penetration testing.Vulnerability assessment identifies and prioritises known weaknesses. Penetration testing is a separate, more targeted exercise that attempts to validate exploitability and business impact. CX Resources does not claim penetration-testing services on this website unless that capability is separately confirmed.
Authorised assessment
Understand your exposure before choosing the response.
Share the systems you need assessed and the business context. We will help define an appropriate, authorised scope.
