Vulnerability Assessment by FortSecure

Complete coverage, useful results, and prioritized actions – not noise

Vulnerability Assessment Overview

Proactive Security Assessment

Our goal is to help you find and fix weaknesses before attackers do. Our Vulnerability Assessment service follows a clear, repeatable lifecycle so you get complete coverage, useful results, and prioritized actions – not noise.

This process helps prevent costly data breaches, improves an organization's security posture, ensures compliance with regulations, and ultimately builds trust with customers and partners.

The Vulnerability Assessment Lifecycle

A clear, step-by-step process for comprehensive security coverage

Scope & Rules of Engagement

1. Scope & Rules of Engagement

We define assets, environments (prod/staging), test windows, and legal/impact limits up front – aligned to your priorities and any regulatory requirements.

  • Clear definition of in-scope assets and systems
  • Testing windows that minimize business impact
  • Legal agreements and impact limitations
  • Alignment with regulatory requirements
Asset Discovery

2. Asset Discovery & Inventory

Automatic discovery + manual verification to build a complete, current map of web apps, APIs, services, libraries, containers, and third-party components.

  • Automated discovery of all digital assets
  • Manual verification for accuracy
  • Complete inventory of dependencies and libraries
  • Third-party component identification
Threat Modeling

3. Threat Modeling & Risk Context

We map threats to business impact, so testing focuses on what matters: sensitive data, privileged functions, and crown-jewel services.

  • Threat mapping to business-critical assets
  • Focus on high-value targets and sensitive data
  • Privileged function identification
  • Crown-jewel service prioritization
Automated Scanning

4. Automated Scanning

Credentialed scans, dependency checks, SAST/DAST pass, and configuration checks to find the obvious and widespread issues quickly.

  • Credentialed vulnerability scanning
  • Software composition analysis (SCA)
  • Static (SAST) and Dynamic (DAST) testing
  • Configuration and compliance checks
Manual Validation

5. Manual Validation & Targeted Testing

Skilled testers validate findings, remove false positives, and hunt for logic flaws, chained issues, and high-impact weaknesses tools miss (safely and ethically).

  • Expert validation of automated findings
  • False positive elimination
  • Business logic flaw identification
  • Attack chain discovery and validation
Risk Analysis

6. Risk Analysis & Prioritization

We score findings by exploitability and business impact – so you know what to fix first. We use industry best practices for severity and prioritization.

  • CVSS scoring with business context
  • Exploitability assessment
  • Business impact analysis
  • Clear prioritization for remediation
Remediation Guidance

7. Remediation Guidance

Actionable fixes: code snippets, configuration changes, library upgrades, and mitigations – prioritized and written for engineers.

  • Developer-friendly remediation instructions
  • Code examples and snippets
  • Configuration change recommendations
  • Library upgrade paths and mitigations
Verification & Retest

8. Verification & Retest

We recheck fixes and confirm closures (and ensure remediations didn't create regressions).

  • Verification of implemented fixes
  • Regression testing for new issues
  • Confirmation of vulnerability closure
  • Updated risk posture assessment
Program Integration

9. Program Integration & Continuous Coverage

Recommendations to integrate vulnerability management into your SDLC, CI/CD, and monitoring so findings drop over time – not resurface.

  • SDLC security integration strategies
  • CI/CD pipeline security controls
  • Continuous monitoring recommendations
  • Long-term vulnerability reduction roadmap
