Beyond Key

Vulnerability Assessment Services

We identify, prioritize and guide remediation of security weaknesses across networks, applications, cloud and devices, using threat intelligence and hands-on validation.

  • 11K+ apps tested
  • 7M+ users secured
  • CREST-accredited testing
  • ISO 27001 and ISO 9001

Why Run a Vulnerability Assessment?

Apps breaks all the time: patches lag, configs drift, permissions widen. You need to know where you’re exposed, and which fixes actually cut risk. We focus on the things attackers are most likely to exploit and on fixes that give you measurable protection.

Problems we fix

Common findings

  • Outdated services with known exploits
  • Misconfigured cloud storage and permissions
  • Broken access controls and missing MFA
  • Web app logic flaws tied to OWASP Top 10
Why it matters

Why it matters

  • Data loss and compliance headaches
  • Ransomware and outages that cost time and trust
  • Wasted engineering time fixing low-value alerts

What We Test

We cover the places attackers go: networks, servers, web and API apps, cloud, containers, endpoints, mobile, IoT and OT.
We tailor the depth based on what you run and what you need for compliance.

  • Network and infrastructure
    Network and infrastructure
    Discovery, segmentation review, internal and external scans.
  • Web and API applications
    Web and API applications
    Automated checks plus manual logic testing so we don’t miss real-world attack paths.
  • Cloud and containers
    Cloud and containers
    IAM, storage, network configuration and orchestration controls.
  • Endpoints, mobile and IoT
    Endpoints, mobile and IoT
    Patch posture, EDR configuration and device hygiene.

How Beyond Key Works

Short version: discover, prioritize, fix, validate. Repeat. We run scans for breadth, then people dig where it counts, so you end up with a prioritized, doable plan.

Discover

Discover
Inventory, map, and find the things that matter first.

Prioritize

Prioritize
We rank issues by exploitability and business impact, so you focus on the highest return fixes.

Remediate

Remediate
We provide clear remediation steps. If you want, we’ll do the fixes for you.

Validate

Validate
Re-scan to prove the problem is solved actually and to measure improvement

A simple loop that reduces risk and keeps getting better over time.

Technical Approach

We start broad with automated tools, then switch to hands-on testing to confirm real issues. That removes false alarms and surfaces chained attacks that tools miss.

  • Automated scans
    Automated scans for comprehensive coverage using current CVE data
  • Manual validation
    Manual validation by certified testers to confirm exploitability
  • Threat-informed scoring
    Threat-informed scoring to prioritize what attackers use actually
  • Readable reporting
    Readable reporting with pragmatic remediation steps

Microsoft-focused Vulnerability Assessments

If you run Microsoft, we run a targeted check that covers Azure, Azure AD, Active Directory, Microsoft 365 and endpoints. These environments have their own traps, so we focus on identity and cloud misconfigurations that attackers love.

Included checks

  • Azure roles, storage controls and network security groups
  • Azure AD and on-prem AD privilege and configuration gaps
  • Microsoft 365 tenant settings, mail and file sharing exposure
  • Endpoint configuration, EDR setup and telemetry gaps

We hand you prioritized playbooks for Microsoft services and suggestions to improve logging and detection.

Practical Microsoft fixes that reduce identity and cloud risk fast.

What You Get With Beyond Key

What You Get With Beyond Key

Short and useful outputs: an executive summary for leaders, a technical report for engineers, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and validation evidence after fixes.

  • Executive summary with the few things leadership needs to know
  • Technical appendix with confirmed vulnerabilities and proof
  • Remediation roadmap sequenced by impact and effort
  • Validation report showing improvements after remediation
  • Optional 30-day dashboard access and remediation tracking

Reports that make action straightforward for both technical and non-technical teams.

How To Engage

Pick the model that fits your team and budget. We do one-time checks, recurring scans or managed programs where we help run the whole remediation cycle.

  • One-time assessment to get a clear snapshot
  • Recurring assessments monthly or quarterly for steady coverage
  • Managed program for ongoing triage, remediation and validation

FAQs

  • What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and vulnerability management?

    I run assessments to find and verify weaknesses at a point in time. Vulnerability management is the ongoing program that inventories assets, schedules scans, prioritizes issues by business impact, tracks remediation and validates fixes. Assessment discovers problems; vulnerability management turns that discovery into a repeatable process to keep risk down.

  • How quickly can you deliver an initial assessment and estimate?

    Give me a short scoping call and I’ll send a ballpark estimate within 24 hours. Small external scans can be done in days. Bigger internal, cloud or app-focused work takes longer depending on asset count and access. I’ll give clear timelines tied to scope, so you know what to expect before we start.

  • Which asset types do you cover?

    I cover networks, servers, workstations, web and API apps, cloud resources and containers, endpoints, mobile, IoT and OT. We also test identity and configuration issues, because attackers exploit those fast. Scope is flexible and we tailor testing depth to the systems you rely on most.

  • Do you validate scanner findings to remove false positives?

    Always. Scanners give breadth but trigger noise. My testers validate and, where needed, exploit safely to confirm impact. That saves your engineers time and ensures you only fix confirmed issues, not a long list of low-value alerts.

  • Can you run PCI ASV scans and provide compliance evidence?

    Yes. We run PCI-compliant external scans and produce the reports needed for submission. For broader compliance needs we map findings to controls and deliver evidence that auditors and regulators can use.

  • How are vulnerabilities prioritized for remediation?

    We combine severity, exploitability, active threat intelligence and asset criticality. Then we factor remediation cost and business impact, producing a ranked action plan. That helps you fix high-return items first and avoid wasting time on low-value tickets.

  • Do you only provide recommendations, or can you perform remediations?

    Both. Most clients get prioritized remediation plans and playbooks. If you prefer, we can perform remediations under an agreed scope and SLA, then re-validate the changes. Managed engagements combine triage, execution and validation.

  • What does the Microsoft-focused assessment include?

    It inspects Azure roles and storage, Azure AD and on-prem AD settings, Microsoft 365 tenant controls, Exchange and SharePoint sharing, and endpoint configuration including EDR. We provide Microsoft-specific playbooks and logging improvements, so you detect and respond faster.

  • How often should we perform vulnerability assessments?

    It depends. Quarterly is a solid baseline. Monthly or continuous scans are better for fast-changing environments or regulated industries. Always run an assessment after major releases, migrations or architecture changes. Pair regular scans with periodic manual validation.

  • What certifications and accreditations do your testers hold?

    The team includes CREST-accredited testers and certifications such as OSCP, OSCE, CEH, GIAC, CISSP and CISM. We follow NIST, OWASP and CIS Controls to keep methodology consistent and high quality.

If you want more detail on any answer, I’ll go over it on a 15-minute scoping call.
