Find weak spots before attackers do.

Modern businesses rely on a growing stack of devices, cloud tools and connected systems. Every one of them comes with risks. Vulnerability management helps you identify those risks before they become problems.

At LeftBrain, we provide a proactive approach to vulnerability scanning, analysis and remediation. We help you stay compliant, protect your infrastructure and keep your attack surface under control.

What is vulnerability management?

Vulnerability management is the process of identifying, assessing, prioritising and fixing security weaknesses across your technology environment.

These vulnerabilities could be:

• Missing patches or outdated software
• Misconfigured systems or services
• Known flaws in hardware or firmware
• Identity and access mismanagement
• Unsecured endpoints or public ports

The goal is to spot these weaknesses early and remove them before they are exploited.

Why it matters

Cyber attacks often succeed because of basic misconfigurations or missed updates. Without regular checks, even small gaps in your setup can be a way in.

Vulnerability management helps you:

• Reduce your overall attack surface
• Stay compliant with standards like ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and GDPR
• Avoid last-minute fire drills before audits or certifications
• Fix issues before they escalate into incidents
• Gain visibility into how secure your systems really are

It is not just a technical control. It is a business-critical process for any organisation that wants to grow securely.

What we do

At LeftBrain, we tailor our vulnerability management service to your stack, your systems and your pace of change.

Continuous scanning

We use trusted tools to scan:

• Devices, servers and infrastructure
• Cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and AWS
• Endpoints and user machines
• Firewalls and perimeter systems

We identify:

• Critical vulnerabilities and exposures
• Misconfigurations and default settings
• Unpatched software and missing updates
• Insecure endpoints and excessive permissions

Risk assessment and prioritisation

Not all vulnerabilities are created equal. We help you prioritise what matters by looking at:

• Exploitability and impact
• Business-critical systems
• Compliance requirements
• Attack likelihood and exposure

You get a clear, actionable list of what to fix and when to fix it.

Remediation support

We work with your internal teams or providers to close the gaps. That includes:

• Applying security patches
• Updating software or firmware
• Reconfiguring services and access controls
• Removing unused services or endpoints
• Reviewing firewall and routing rules

We make sure nothing is left unaddressed.

Reporting and review

You receive reports that are clear and useful, not just technical exports. We include:

• Summaries for leadership
• Technical breakdowns for IT teams
• Logs to support Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 or client reviews
• Recommendations for longer-term hardening

We can also align vulnerability scans with certification schedules, infrastructure changes or audit prep.
