10-D Security External Vulnerability Assessment is a professional service that scans external-facing systems to identify security vulnerabilities. The service is designed for financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and legal/professional firms to meet compliance requirements such as FFIEC mandates for annual independent security vulnerability testing. The assessment scans all 65,535 ports across each internet protocol (IP) address and searches for over 110,000 potential vulnerabilities. The service includes manual verification to eliminate false positives and provides risk-rated reports with resolution recommendations. Testing covers vulnerability scanning, primary domain name registration review, basic DNS testing and review, identification of open or insecure management interfaces, and evaluation of vulnerability to email spoofing. Results are delivered in multiple formats with trend reporting available for repeat clients. The service includes visualization tools to track progress toward organizational goals. Testing frequency is flexible, with options for annual, quarterly, or biannual assessments. The service can be combined with internal vulnerability assessments, external penetration testing, and firewall reviews for comprehensive security evaluation.
