A vulnerability assessment identifies weaknesses that could expose systems, applications, services, infrastructure, or cloud assets to attack. It helps organizations understand what is vulnerable, how serious the exposure is, and what should be fixed first.

Cryptika performs vulnerability assessment as an evidence-based activity, not only as a scan export. The work includes scope definition, discovery, vulnerability identification, validation where appropriate, risk prioritization, and remediation guidance.

What the Assessment Covers

• External and internal infrastructure assets.
• Servers, network devices, operating systems, and exposed services.
• Cloud workloads and internet-facing assets, where included.
• Web applications and APIs when agreed as part of the scope.
• Known vulnerabilities, weak configurations, missing patches, and insecure services.
• Risk context, affected assets, exploitability, and business impact.

Methodology Basis

The assessment may reference CIS Controls, NIST CSF 2.0, PCI DSS vulnerability expectations, ISO/IEC 27001, regulatory requirements, vendor advisories, CVSS, exploitability context, and client-specific risk criteria. Listed references are examples and do not restrict service scope.
