Precision Risk Detection. Actionable Security Intelligence.

Go West IT transforms network uncertainty into a prioritized roadmap for resilience.
We leverage industry-leading Tenable Nessus technology to conduct deep-dive internal and external point-in-time vulnerability scans—identifying foundational vulnerabilities, configuration gaps, and unpatched risks that put your organization at risk.

WHAT IS VULNERABILITY SCANNING

INTERNAL SCANNING

We deploy our Nessus scanning device onsite at your office to scan your internal network. This scans your firewalls, switches, printers, copiers, audio visual equipment, physical security devices, and workstations against a database of over 100,000 known vulnerabilities to identify configuration weaknesses and patching gaps.

EXTERNAL SCANNING

We perform a thorough assessment of your digital perimeter from the outside in. External scanning of your public-facing network interfaces identifies “open doors” and vulnerabilities in your assets before they are discovered by malicious threat actors.

Are Foundational Gaps Putting Your Network at Risk?

In an era of rapid digital change, even a single unpatched device can compromise your entire infrastructure. Many organizations find themselves facing these common security challenges:

  • Hidden Vulnerabilities

    Are you aware of the outdated software or misconfigured settings currently residing on your switches and PCs?

  • Audit Uncertainty

    Are you approaching a major audit or network change without a clear understanding of your current security posture?

  • Reactive Patching

    Is your team struggling to decide which updates are critical and which can wait, leading to “patching fatigue”?

  • Compliance Gaps

    Do you lack the documented evidence required to meet standards like NIST or other regulatory frameworks?

Identify the Risk. Prioritize the Solution.

Engage Go West IT to gain a clear, prioritized view of your network’s health. We provide the technical intelligence you need to harden your defenses.

FAQs

Scanning identifies potential weaknesses without actively exploiting them. It’s a foundational step that is often done before or alongside a full penetration test.

It’s ideal for one-time gap analyses, pre-audit preparations, or immediately following major infrastructure changes.

The service focuses on scanning and reporting. While we provide the roadmap for fixes, remediation labor is available as a separate engagement.

Yes. It provides the necessary documentation to meet leadership directives, industry standards, and regulatory guidelines by proving you are identifying and prioritizing security gaps.
