Vulnerability Management Services
Vulnerabilities don’t wait for your annual penetration test. New CVEs are published daily, patches roll out weekly, and your infrastructure changes constantly. Intrix’s vulnerability management service provides continuous visibility into your security weaknesses, so you can fix the most dangerous ones before attackers find them.
What Is Vulnerability Management?
Vulnerability management is a continuous process of identifying, evaluating, prioritising, and fixing security weaknesses across your IT environment. It helps organisations detect potential risks early and strengthen their overall security posture.
“Unlike a one-time vulnerability assessment, vulnerability management is an ongoing program that tracks vulnerabilities over time, prioritises fixes based on risk, and continuously improves security as new threats emerge.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a penetration test?
Penetration testing is a point-in-time exercise where testers actively exploit vulnerabilities. Vulnerability management is an ongoing program that continuously identifies and tracks vulnerabilities across your environment. Most mature organisations do both, vulnerability management for continuous hygiene, and annual penetration testing for deep-dive validation.
Should we manage vulnerabilities in-house or outsource it?
Building an in-house vulnerability management capability means licensing scanning tools, hiring and training analysts, and maintaining coverage as staff change. Outsourcing gives you the same continuous visibility without that overhead, with experienced analysts already validating findings and tracking remediation, which is usually faster and more cost effective for most organisations.
How much does vulnerability management cost?
Ongoing vulnerability management is typically priced as a monthly or annual subscription based on the number of assets in scope, scan frequency and the depth of remediation support included. It costs more than a single assessment, but considerably less than building and staffing an internal program. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Do you help us fix the vulnerabilities?
Yes. We track remediation through to verified completion, not just identification. Findings are assigned to your team with clear ownership and SLA deadlines based on severity, and we verify each fix through rescan validation before closing it out, maintaining a full audit trail.
Can this help with our compliance requirements?
Yes. Our reporting includes compliance-ready evidence packs mapped to frameworks such as Essential Eight, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS, showing ongoing remediation activity rather than a single point-in-time snapshot. This continuous evidence trail is exactly what auditors look for when assessing genuine security maturity.
