Complete Security Assessment Portfolio

From network vulnerability scanning and compliance gap analysis to cloud security reviews and policy audits — we identify exactly where your security posture falls short and what to fix first.

Vulnerability Assessment

Systematic scanning of your entire IT environment — servers, workstations, network devices, firewalls, and applications — to identify open ports, unpatched software, weak configurations, and exploitable weaknesses. Every finding is scored using CVSS v3.1 (Critical / High / Medium / Low) and mapped to the affected asset, so you know exactly what is at risk and by how much.

CVSS Scoring · Network · Endpoints · Applications

Network Security Assessment

In-depth review of your network architecture, firewall rule sets, VLAN segmentation, wireless security, remote access controls, and exposed services — identifying configuration gaps, over-permissive rules, missing network segmentation, and insecure protocols (Telnet, FTP, SNMPv1) that create risk across your infrastructure.

Remediation Roadmap & Follow-Up

Beyond listing findings, we deliver a structured remediation roadmap prioritising fixes by risk level, business impact, and estimated remediation effort — so your IT team knows exactly what to patch first within your budget and timeline. Optional follow-up re-scan confirms critical and high findings are resolved, providing documented closure evidence for audits.

How We Deliver Your Security Audit

1

Scoping & Information Gathering

Define the scope of the assessment — which systems, networks, and compliance frameworks are in scope — and gather existing documentation including network diagrams, asset registers, and current security policies. Agree rules of engagement and a point of contact before any scanning begins.

2

Vulnerability Scanning & Review

Run authenticated vulnerability scans across your in-scope infrastructure to enumerate assets, identify unpatched software and misconfigurations, and review exposed services. Simultaneously assess firewall rule sets, network architecture, and access control configurations against security best practices.

3

Compliance Gap Analysis

Map identified findings and reviewed controls against the applicable compliance framework — NESA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, or UAE Central Bank guidelines. Build a gap register showing which requirements are met, which are partially met, and which are missing — with the evidence collected during the assessment to support each finding.

4

Reporting & Remediation Roadmap

Deliver an Executive Summary report for management and a detailed Technical Report with every finding, CVSS score, affected asset, and specific remediation step — plus a prioritised Remediation Roadmap ordered by risk level and effort. Present findings to your team and answer questions to ensure actionability.

Security Audits Across Industries

Finance & Banking

PCI-DSS compliance gap analysis for businesses handling card payments, UAE Central Bank cybersecurity guideline assessments for financial institutions, and network segmentation reviews ensuring cardholder data environments (CDE) are properly isolated and access-controlled for regulatory audits.

Healthcare

Vulnerability assessments protecting patient data systems, medical device network access reviews ensuring PACS and clinical systems are properly segmented, and security policy reviews ensuring personal health information (PHI) access controls and audit logging meet healthcare data protection requirements.

Government & Critical Infrastructure

UAE NESA-aligned security assessments for government entities and critical infrastructure operators — covering the full NESA controls framework, identifying compliance gaps, and providing documented remediation evidence required for NESA regulatory reporting and audit submissions.

SMBs & Retail

Right-sized vulnerability assessments for SMBs that need to demonstrate due diligence to insurers, enterprise clients requiring supplier security questionnaires (VSAQ, SIG), or commercial landlords with network security requirements — delivered as a clear report that non-technical stakeholders can understand and act on.

Pre-M&A & Due Diligence

Security assessments as part of merger and acquisition due diligence — identifying technical debt, compliance gaps, and inherited vulnerabilities in a target company's IT environment before deal completion, providing the acquirer with a clear risk picture and post-acquisition remediation cost estimate.

Post-Incident Review

After a security incident — ransomware attack, data breach, or phishing compromise — a vulnerability assessment identifies the weaknesses that were exploited, maps other exposures that remain open, and provides a remediation plan to prevent recurrence and demonstrate to stakeholders that lessons have been acted on.

The Zeronix Audit Advantage

Risk-Prioritised, Not Just a List

We don't hand you a 200-item finding list and leave you to figure out what matters. Every audit includes a Remediation Roadmap that orders fixes by risk level, business impact, and remediation effort — so your IT team can start on the most critical items immediately without analysis paralysis.

Two Reports for Two Audiences

Management gets an Executive Summary in plain language — risk posture, top risks, and business impact without technical jargon, suitable for board presentations and cyber insurance reviews. Your IT team gets the full technical report with CVSS scores, affected assets, and specific remediation commands they can execute directly.

UAE Compliance Expertise

We map findings directly to UAE NESA controls, PCI-DSS requirements, and ISO 27001 clauses — not generic international frameworks that your regulator doesn't use. Reports are formatted with the evidence and language that UAE regulatory auditors and external ISO certification bodies expect to see.

Audit-to-Remediation Pipeline

Unlike standalone audit firms that identify problems and walk away, Zeronix can remediate the findings we identify — patching systems, reconfiguring firewalls, hardening Active Directory, and updating policies. One trusted partner from discovery through remediation means faster resolution and no translation gap between the audit report and the fix.

Closure Re-Scan Included

For Critical and High findings, we offer a follow-up re-scan after remediation to confirm vulnerabilities are genuinely closed — not just marked done. This provides documented closure evidence for compliance audits and cyber insurance renewals, proving that identified risks were actually fixed and not just acknowledged.

48-Hour Report Delivery

Scan results are analysed, scored, and delivered as a full report within 48 hours of assessment completion — not weeks. When you're working to a regulatory deadline, a compliance renewal, or following up after a security incident, time matters. We don't sit on findings while they remain exploitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of your IT infrastructure — networks, servers, workstations, firewalls, and applications — to identify security weaknesses before attackers do. It covers open ports and exposed services, outdated software and missing patches, misconfigured devices and default credentials, weak access controls and stale accounts, and network segmentation gaps. Every finding is rated by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) using CVSS v3.1 scoring, mapped to the specific affected asset, and accompanied by a remediation step — so you receive a prioritised action plan, not just a list of problems.
A vulnerability assessment focuses on technical weaknesses in your systems and infrastructure — unpatched software, misconfigured devices, exposed services. A security audit is broader — it also reviews your security policies, user access control procedures, password standards, patch management processes, configuration baselines, and compliance posture against a framework like UAE NESA or ISO 27001. We typically combine both: a technical vulnerability scan alongside a policy and compliance review, giving you a complete picture of both your technical exposure and governance gaps.
We conduct compliance gap analyses against UAE NESA (National Electronic Security Authority) standards, PCI-DSS for businesses handling card payments, ISO 27001 information security management requirements, and UAE Central Bank cybersecurity guidelines for financial institutions. Our reports map your current controls to the specific requirements of the relevant framework — naming the clause or control number — identifying gaps and providing a prioritised remediation plan. This output is formatted for use in regulatory submissions and external auditor reviews.
Most UAE regulatory frameworks and cyber insurance policies recommend at least annual security assessments. We advise a vulnerability scan quarterly and a full audit annually as a minimum — with additional scans after major infrastructure changes such as a new network segment, cloud migration, new office setup, or significant software deployment. Quarterly scanning ensures new vulnerabilities are caught within 90 days of public disclosure, rather than leaving a 12-month window during which attackers can exploit known weaknesses in your environment.
You receive two reports delivered within 48 hours: an Executive Summary written for management that explains your risk posture, top findings, and business impact without technical jargon — suitable for board presentations, cyber insurance renewals, and regulatory submissions; and a full Technical Report listing every finding with CVSS severity score, affected asset, evidence, and specific remediation steps your IT team can action immediately. You also receive a Remediation Roadmap prioritising fixes by risk level and estimated effort. For Critical and High findings, we can conduct a follow-up re-scan after remediation to provide documented closure evidence.
