Vulnerability Analysis

Vulnerability scanning

We scan an app, a network or a website for vulnerabilities and security gaps. You benefit from a report without false positives.

DSecured uses various well-known and private software products to maximize the effectiveness of the vulnerability scan. Our experts manually review the results to avoid false positives and provide you with an accurate analysis.

My Recommendation

Scanner + expert hand for reliable results

Vulnerability scans provide early warning signals - but only when they are purposefully planned, monitored, and followed up. We combine automation with expert oversight so you don't drown in false positives.

What makes DSecured's vulnerability scan so special?

A single tool rarely provides a complete picture. That's why we orchestrate different scanners - from OpenVAS and Nessus to Burp Suite and our own Go and Python scripts. For each target environment, we select the right set to fully capture your attack surface.

The entire process remains under human control: We analyze your systems in advance, configure the scans, and monitor execution. Results are consolidated, evaluated, and enhanced with management and technical insights. Discovered exploits are validated and prioritized.

More Than a Click Scan

We understand your target system, define scopes, and ensure that authentication and roles are properly tested. This includes port scanning and subdomain enumeration.

Proprietary Developments Included

Our specialized scanners detect path traversals, SSRF, XSS, and shadow IT scenarios that standard tools often miss.

Validated Results Report

Each finding includes criticality, CVSS, reproduction steps, and concrete fix recommendations - ready for your ticket system.

What is a vulnerability scan?

A vulnerability scan is an automated assessment of your digital systems - whether network, web app, API, or cloud service. It uncovers known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations and is an integral part of web penetration tests or network assessments.

How accurate is a vulnerability scan?

Scanners work quickly but superficially. They detect weak passwords, outdated software, or missing patches - but often fail with complex logins or business logic. Our experts accompany each scan, validate findings, and manually close coverage gaps.

Protect yourself from cyber attacks and have a vulnerability scan performed.

What does a vulnerability scan cost?

Entry-level scenarios - such as a single web service or a small network zone - start at around 400 euros. As the number of IP addresses, applications, or tenants increases, the effort for discovery, configuration, and reporting grows. We therefore plan large-scale internal and external scans in a modular fashion.

  • Scope & Target Systems How many hosts, domains, subnets, or cloud accounts should be covered? Each additional asset affects runtime and reporting.
  • Scan Type & Depth Unauthenticated, authenticated, agent-based, or combined approaches - we adapt methodology and frequency to your compliance requirements.
  • Validation & Retest You decide whether we manually verify findings or re-test after your patch window - we integrate both upon request.

Transparency is important to us: You receive a fixed-price quote in advance including report, management summary, and optional presentation. Extensions - such as for very large networks or recurring scans - are calculated in blocks.

How often should a vulnerability scan be repeated?

At least once a year, preferably after each major release or infrastructure change. Critical systems are monitored automatically as part of Argos EASM and combine weekly scans with monthly validation.

Vulnerability Scanning

Software we use for vulnerability scans

Open Source & Classics

OpenVAS, Nmap, and customized NSE scripts provide solid network coverage and serve as the foundation for internal and external scans.

Commercial Scanners

Burp Suite Enterprise, Nessus, or Qualys cover OWASP and infrastructure vulnerabilities - we manually verify the results.

Proprietary Tools & Argos

Our Go/Python scanners and Argos detect shadow IT, SSRF, XSS, and traversal chains that standard tools often overlook.

Vulnerability Scan vs. Penetration Test

A vulnerability scan works automatically, quickly, and broadly - perfect for detecting standard errors such as outdated software, weak passwords, or missing patches. Its limitations lie with complex logic, chain attacks, or custom-developed applications.

A penetration test goes further: Experienced ethical hackers understand processes, combine findings, and deliver reliable exploit scenarios. We use scans as an early warning system - pentests for in-depth security of critical systems.

How does a vulnerability scan work?

  1. Kick-off & Scope We define objectives, time windows, contacts, and access - including auth credentials or VPN.
  2. Configuration & Scan Scanners are customized, tests are monitored, and modulated as needed to keep systems stable.
  3. Validation & Reporting False positives are eliminated, findings are prioritized and provided with action items - optionally with retest.

Further questions and answers on the topic
"Vulnerability Scanning"

How often should we perform vulnerability scans to ensure optimal security?

Vulnerability scanning is the absolute foundation of IT security. It is also highly accessible - we always recommend scanning your systems at least once every 6 months. If you have a high-traffic website or many changes in your network, you should consider more frequent scanning.

What can be expected from a vulnerability scan report?

Simply put: a list of issues - cleaned of false positives.

Can vulnerability scanning disrupt our daily operations?

It should not. Typically, we adjust the settings of a vulnerability scanner so that it does not interfere with your daily operations.

How are security issues identified during a scan?

The vulnerability scanner attempts to detect injection points and injects different types of payloads. Based on the target system's response, it is possible to determine whether this system is vulnerable or not.

Can I request a targeted scan for a specific part of our network?

Yes, that is not a problem. We can configure our scanners to only scan the parts of your network that you want scanned.

How long does a vulnerability scan take on average?

It depends on the size of your network. A small network can be scanned in a few hours, while a large network can take up to a few days.
