Vulnerability Scanning
Automated 14-stage security scanning on demand or on a schedule
What this engagement covers
The service
Our vulnerability scanning service runs a comprehensive 14-stage automated security pipeline against your external attack surface. Powered by Nuclei, Nikto, Burp Suite, nmap, and AI-driven analysis, each scan discovers assets, identifies vulnerabilities, and delivers prioritized findings with remediation steps. Available as a one-time scan or scheduled weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
What we test
Each scan covers subdomain enumeration and asset discovery, HTTP probing and technology fingerprinting, port scanning and service detection, web vulnerability scanning with Nuclei templates and Nikto checks, directory and file fuzzing, XSS and SQL injection detection, SSL/TLS configuration analysis, security header validation, cookie and session security, CORS misconfiguration, exposed API endpoints, and AI-powered finding enrichment with remediation guidance.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting Vulnerability Scanning with no internal credentials, source code, or architecture documentation. Assesses perimeter exposure, unauthenticated attack paths, and edge resilience.
Gray Box Assessment (Recommended)
CredentialedSimulates an authenticated user, tenant, or insider threat within Vulnerability Scanning. We evaluate role segregation, authorization boundaries, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws across user tiers.
White Box / Source-Assisted
Full-KnowledgeConducted with direct access to architecture schematics, configuration files, and API/code documentation. Eliminates blind spots and provides exhaustive coverage of security mechanisms governing Vulnerability Scanning.

Subdomain Takeover Vulnerabilities
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Subdomain Takeover Vulnerabilities across your Vulnerability Scanning environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
How we run it
Every scan runs through our 14-stage pipeline: reconnaissance and subdomain enumeration, HTTP discovery and screenshots, web crawling and JS endpoint extraction, technology fingerprinting, AI-driven triage and strategy planning, port scanning, Nikto web server scanning, Nuclei template-based vulnerability scanning, directory fuzzing and API discovery, XSS scanning, Burp Suite active scanning, AI-powered autonomous testing, finding enrichment with evidence collection, and secret detection. Results are delivered through your client portal with severity ratings, CVSS scores, and step-by-step remediation instructions.

XSS, SQLi, and SSRF detection
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting xss, sqli, and ssrf detection across your vulnerability scanning deployment.
SSL/TLS and security header analysis
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting ssl/tls and security header analysis across your vulnerability scanning deployment.
AI-powered finding enrichment and validation
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting ai-powered finding enrichment and validation across your vulnerability scanning deployment.
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- Prioritized vulnerability findings with CVSS scores
- Remediation steps for every finding
- Asset inventory and technology fingerprints
- Screenshot evidence of discovered issues
- PDF report for compliance and stakeholders
- Client portal access with real-time findings
- Trending reports for scheduled scans
- API access for CI/CD integration

Who this is for
Auditor-Ready Compliance Crosswalk
| Framework | Control Section | Testing Evidence & Report Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | CC4.1, CC7.1, CC7.2 | Technical testing evidence validating system boundaries, access restrictions, and vulnerability identification controls. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | Control A.8.8 & A.8.20 | Management of technical vulnerabilities and network security verification through independent technical assessments. |
| PCI DSS v4.0 | Requirement 11.4 & 11.4.3 | Adversary-driven external and internal penetration testing with application-layer validation and vulnerability remediation verification. |
| HIPAA Security Rule | 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(8) | Formal technical evaluation verifying the integrity of ePHI safeguards, network segmentation, and privileged access safeguards. |
| NIST Cybersecurity Framework | PR.AC, DE.CM, RS.AN | Technical testing verifying access controls, anomaly detection efficacy, and incident response mitigation capabilities. |
| CMMC 2.0 Level 2 / 3 | CA.L2-3.12.1, SC.L2-3.13.1 | Technical validation of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) protection, perimeter defense, and enclave isolation. |
Findings are mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST CSF, CMMC, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scoping, methodology, compliance validation, and deliverables.
Our Vulnerability Scanning service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: Prioritized vulnerability findings with CVSS scores, Remediation steps for every finding, Asset inventory and technology fingerprints, Screenshot evidence of discovered issues, PDF report for compliance and stakeholders. Every engagement includes reproducible proof-of-concept exploits, developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest.
Yes. Findings are directly mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST CSF, CMMC control requirements. The resulting report is auditor-ready and formatted for immediate submission to SOC 2 CPAs, PCI QSAs, and enterprise vendor risk assessment teams.
Yes. Every Lorikeet Security engagement includes free retesting within 30 to 60 days to validate that your remediation patches successfully resolve the identified vulnerabilities before your final report is issued.
Typical active testing turnaround is 2-4 hours per scan, with critical findings reported immediately via your Talon portal so your engineering team can begin remediation without waiting for the final PDF.
Pricing starts from $200/scan. We scope the engagement in one call based on your environment's surface area, user roles, and complexity, providing a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden change orders.
