Vulnerability Assessment Services

Systematic identification and prioritization of security weaknesses — actionable intelligence to drive your remediation roadmap.

See Your Attack Surface Clearly

Vulnerability assessments provide the visibility your security and IT teams need to make informed remediation decisions. Unlike penetration testing, a VA focuses on comprehensive coverage — identifying weaknesses across your infrastructure, applications, and endpoints using both automated tooling and manual analysis.

Cover6 delivers vulnerability assessments that go beyond raw scanner output. We contextualize every finding against your environment, business risk, and compensating controls — so your team knows exactly what to fix first.

Assessment Coverage

Network Infrastructure

Servers, routers, switches, firewalls, and network devices scanned and analyzed for known CVEs, misconfigurations, and end-of-life software.

Web Applications

Application-layer vulnerability identification including OWASP Top 10 issues, authentication weaknesses, and insecure configurations.

Endpoint & Workstation

Workstation and server endpoint analysis for patch gaps, legacy software, local policy weaknesses, and insecure configurations.

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS, Azure, and GCP configuration review for publicly exposed resources, overprivileged identities, and cloud-native misconfigurations.

Compliance Alignment

Findings mapped to relevant compliance requirements — NIST 800-171, CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI DSS — to support your audit readiness.

Prioritized Risk Reporting

CVSS scoring supplemented by business context — a risk-ranked remediation roadmap your team can act on immediately.

Our Process

Structured methodology that translates raw vulnerability data into actionable remediation intelligence.

1

Scope Definition

Define the target environment — IP ranges, applications, cloud accounts, and compliance requirements that shape assessment depth.

2

Automated Scanning

Credentialed and uncredentialed scans using enterprise-grade tooling to identify CVEs, misconfigurations, and patch gaps at scale.

3

Manual Analysis

Our analysts review and validate scanner output, eliminate false positives, and identify issues automated tools consistently miss.

4

Risk Contextualization

Each finding is evaluated against your environment and business risk — not just CVSS scores in isolation.

5

Reporting & Prioritization

A clear, organized report with risk-ranked findings, remediation guidance, and a prioritized fix list your team can execute.

Build Your Remediation Roadmap

Start with visibility. We will help you understand your exposure and prioritize what matters most.

What Is Included in a Cover6 Vulnerability Assessment?

A Cover6 vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of your environment designed to identify, classify, and prioritize security weaknesses before an attacker exploits them. Every engagement includes network scanning and enumeration, authenticated and unauthenticated scans, CVSS-scored findings, remediation guidance mapped to each finding, and an executive summary your leadership can use for compliance reporting or board presentations.

Types of Vulnerability Assessments We Deliver

Network VA
Internal and external network assets, open ports, service versions, and misconfigurations.
Compliance-Aligned VA
Scoped to CMMC, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, or PCI DSS control families for audit readiness.
Cloud Infrastructure VA
AWS, Azure, and GCP configurations reviewed against CIS benchmarks and cloud security best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a vulnerability assessment different from a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment identifies and prioritizes weaknesses without exploiting them. A penetration test actively simulates an attacker to prove those weaknesses can be exploited. VAs are broader and faster; pentests are deeper and more targeted. Most organizations should run a VA first, remediate findings, then validate with a pentest.
How often should we run a vulnerability assessment?
Quarterly is the standard for organizations with compliance obligations (CMMC, PCI, HIPAA). Annual assessments are a minimum for any organization handling sensitive data. Continuous scanning tools can supplement scheduled assessments but do not replace them.
Is Cover6 eligible for government contracts?
Yes. Cover6 Solutions is SDVOSB-certified (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) and eligible for veteran set-aside contracts. We have experience with CMMC Level 2 requirements and federal agency security assessments.
