Corporate IT Cyber Security
Vulnerability Assessment Services
Understand and act upon weak spots in your cyber defences.
A point-in-time scan of your IT environment.
Vulnerability assessments—which involve a deep investigation into your systems, along with remediation strategies—are a valuable addition to your cyber security toolkit.
Peloton uses industry best-practice frameworks and best-of-breed tools to execute a point-in-time scan of your IT environment. In the process, we:
- Discover assets and vulnerabilities
- Exploit identified vulnerabilities
- Provide advice on the risk and remediation of vulnerabilities to provide a known state of vulnerability risk
Why perform a vulnerability assessment?
Know your weaknesses with a detailed asset list, including end-of-life software. (You can’t protect what you can’t see.)
Stay alert to critical threats with ongoing notifications and advice on zero-day vulnerabilities and the real risk to your organisation.
Drive down risks on everything from cloud workloads, wed applications and APIs to network devices and on-premises systems.
What to expect with a Peloton vulnerability assessment
Peloton use best-of-breed commercial tools and global vulnerability detection engines to run a vulnerability analysis across the entire technology stack, including:
- Cloud workloads
- Web applications
- APIs
- OT/IoT
- On-premises
- Mobile or end-user compute
Our assessment approach spans the following phases:
While Peloton typically performs white box vulnerability assessments (where you provide information about your IT environment so Peloton has full knowledge of it), we are adept at conducting a range of vulnerability testing types to suit your needs.
The Peloton difference
Service tiers to meet ASD Essential Eight compliance
We track your vulnerability and patching compliance against two of the ASD Essential 8 mitigation strategies, including metrics on your remediation timeframes compared to ASD Essential 8 standards.
Optional vulnerability exploitation
We’ll attempt to exploit discovered vulnerabilities to provide you with the real risk to your organisation and whether a vulnerability could be exploited given your unique context and configuration.
Independent assurance on your patching efforts
We’ll measure the efficacy of your patching program and find the gaps that your patching tools are leaving behind, before they are exploited by threat actors.
Customer testimonials
Peloton have taken the time to understand our business and reduce our risk. They filter out the false positives and alert us when there is something important we need to know about. They also help us to do a complete cyber security assessment on businesses before we acquire them, which takes time and focus as the requirements are different for every business. In terms of quantifiable results, we have reduced licencing costs and significantly increased our cyber security maturity rating which is a huge achievement.

We were trying to win new business with a global hotel chain. To get this across the line, we needed to tick some serious IT and security boxes. We knew we had gaps that we couldn’t easily fill so we engaged Peloton to help us. Peloton addressed our immediate needs and also taught us to look beyond the tender, so that our cyber security initiatives could support future growth opportunities too. We now have cyber security factored into our solution offering which puts us out in front of our competitors. Plus we got global IT approval from the hotel chain, which was a great result.

Frequently Asked Questions
A vulnerability assessment is a systematic evaluation process within cyber security where potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities in an organisation’s digital environment are identified, analysed and ranked based on their potential impact. This process involves using tools and methodologies to scan networks, systems and applications for known security flaws and misconfigurations. The assessment provides valuable insights that enable informed decision-making for effective risk reduction and strengthening of overall cyber defences across your environment.
Conducting a vulnerability assessment provides you with the insights and understanding of your environment’s weaknesses that threat actors are likely to exploit. In the digital environment, it is paramount to be aware of your potential exposure to cyber threats. By doing so, you can address these vulnerabilities before malicious actors exploit them, reducing the risk of data breaches, downtime and financial losses. Regular assessments also support compliance with industry regulations and best practices.
Using an external provider to conduct your vulnerability assessment has a range of benefits including utilising their expertise and experience, their use of advanced tools and techniques, and their knowledge of compliance and regulations. External providers offer an objective view when identifying, quantifying and prioritising vulnerabilities without the subjective judgements of internal employees affecting the outcome.
