Vulnerability Assessment · Melbourne

Find the gaps before attackers do.

GoCyber scans your networks, applications and cloud environments for exploitable weaknesses, then hands you a prioritised plan to close them, not just a raw list of findings.

Why it matters

One missed patch is all it takes.

Attackers don't need a sophisticated plan. They need one outdated system, one misconfigured server, or one forgotten subdomain. A vulnerability assessment finds those gaps before someone else does, and gives you a clear, ranked list of what to fix first.

  • →

    Reveals unauthorised access points and unpatched systems across your estate.

  • →

    Supports compliance obligations under PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and Essential Eight.

  • →

    Reduces false positives with manual verification, not just automated scans.

  • →

    Gives your leadership team a prioritised, risk-ranked action plan.

When you need one

The right moments to run an assessment.

Vulnerability assessments aren't a once-and-forget task. Here's when Melbourne businesses typically bring us in.

01

Annual review is due

Most compliance frameworks expect at least yearly assessments as a baseline.

02

After infrastructure changes

New servers, upgrades or a provider switch all shift your risk profile.

03

Before insurance renewal

Cyber insurers increasingly ask for evidence of regular vulnerability scanning.

04

New app or system launch

Every new deployment is a new potential entry point worth checking early.

05

Following an incident

After any breach, you need to know exactly how they got in and what else is exposed.

06

Compliance audit approaching

PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and Essential Eight all expect documented, regular testing.

What we assess

Full coverage across your attack surface.

Network Vulnerability Scanning

Scans network hosts and connected devices, including virtual environments, to pinpoint specific weaknesses.

Web Application Scanning

Tests your web applications against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, from both authorised and unauthorised angles.

Cloud Environment Assessment

Reviews cloud configurations and access controls across your hosted infrastructure.

Wireless Vulnerability Scanning

Identifies unauthorised access points and reviews your wireless network's security posture.

Endpoint & Device Review

Checks patch levels, firmware and configuration across laptops, servers and connected devices.

Third-Party & Vendor Exposure

Flags risk introduced through third-party software and external service providers.

Our process

From scoping to remediation, in six steps.

STEP 01

Scoping

We agree what's in scope, systems, apps, or full network, based on your risk profile.

STEP 02

Scanning

Automated tools sweep your environment for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

STEP 03

Manual Verification

Our team manually checks findings to strip out false positives and confirm real risk.

STEP 04

Risk Prioritisation

Findings are ranked by severity and business impact, not just technical score.

STEP 05

Reporting

A plain-language report your technical team and leadership can both act on.

STEP 06

Remediation Support

We help you close the gaps, with guidance on patches, configs and fixes.

Common confusion

Vulnerability assessment vs penetration testing.

These two get mixed up constantly. Here's the difference in plain terms.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How long does a vulnerability assessment take?+

Small networks are typically assessed in 1-2 business days. Larger or more complex environments can take 7-10 business days depending on scope.

Why use an external provider instead of doing it in-house?+

An external assessor removes internal bias, brings tools and expertise most businesses don't maintain in-house, and stays current on the latest attack techniques.

Will this help with cyber insurance requirements?+

Yes. Insurers increasingly ask for evidence of regular vulnerability scanning as part of underwriting or renewal, and our reports can support that documentation.

Do you provide help fixing what you find?+

Yes. Every report includes prioritised remediation guidance, and we can support your team through the fix process if needed.

Can this be run on a recurring schedule?+

Yes. We can set up quarterly, monthly or continuous scanning depending on your risk profile and compliance obligations.
