Vulnerability analysis and scanning

Vulnerability analyses are the foundation of a secure business. At Sicra, we help you identify, assess, and prioritize security challenges in your systems, networks, and processes.

Our approach gives you a clear overview of where the vulnerabilities lie and how they can be effectively managed to reduce risk. 

What is a vulnerability analysis? 

A vulnerability analysis is a systematic review of a company's internal IT infrastructure, its exposure, and the company's security practices to: 

  • Detect vulnerabilities: Uncover internal and external weak points that can be exploited by threat actors. Many of these are detected through scanning. 

  • Understand the risk: Evaluate the consequences of vulnerabilities being exploited. 

  • Recommend measures: Prioritize and propose solutions to reduce the risk. 


Sicra delivers vulnerability analysis and scanning through three services:
 

  • Security monitoring and incident management (SOC) - Powered by Arctic Wolf 

  • Active Focus – Powered by River Security 

  • Penetration testing – Powered by River Security 

Security monitoring and response 

Through Sicra's SOC powered by Arctic Wolf, we monitor companies' internal IT infrastructure and respond quickly to incidents.

Active Focus – Powered by River Security 

Our partner delivers: 

  • Real-time insight: Full overview of your digital exposures, with continuous mapping and alerting of new threats. 

  • Proactive risk management: We use the same methods as actual attackers to find and report vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. 

  • Higher efficiency: No more "patch fatigue"! We help you prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities, so your team focuses where it matters most. 

  • Direct expert support: Our experienced penetration testers are available for guidance along the way and provide immediate recommendations for critical findings. 

  • Seamless reporting: Easily export detailed reports for audit and regulatory requirements. 

Unique value: Active Focus stands out by combining automated scanning with manual expert assessment, so you not only get data – you get actionable insights immediately. 

Penetration testing – Powered by River Security 

  • Penetration testing – Powered by River Security Penetration Testing

  • Security on the attackers’ terms think like a hacker – Protect yourself like an expert

Attacks on IT systems don’t happen randomly – they are carefully planned and executed by actors exploiting weaknesses you might not even know exist. Traditional vulnerability scans only find superficial flaws, but they don’t stop advanced attackers who combine logical errors, process abuse, and tailored exploits to break in.

With River Security’s penetration testing, you get a full simulation of how an attacker would target your business, allowing you to identify and eliminate real security risks before they are exploited. River goes beyond standard tests – they look at the whole picture and attack like an actual threat actor.

Why choose penetration testing from River Security?

  • Realistic testing – River simulates real cyberattacks, including technical vulnerabilities, misuse of access rights, and logical security holes.

  • Experienced ethical hackers – The tests are conducted by some of Norway’s top security experts with deep experience in offensive operations.

  • More than tool-based scanning – They uncover weaknesses that automated tools miss, including process errors and human vulnerabilities.

  • Tailored to your business – River customize the tests according to your systems, applications, and threat landscape to provide the most relevant and valuable insights.

  • Quick response and clear recommendations – You get a prioritized action plan with precise measures to close vulnerabilities effectively.

Unique Value: River's penetration testing is not just about finding flaws – it’s about understanding how the flaws can actually be exploited and how to stop it.

What does River Security test?

River simulates and evaluates attacks across:

  • Web applications and APIs – Find and close vulnerabilities in critical web services.

  • Infrastructure and networks – Discover misconfigurations and weak authentication mechanisms.

  • Cloud and SaaS environments – Secure your external infrastructure against incorrect access rights and exposure.

  • Identity and access management – Uncover misuse of privileged accounts and escalation of rights.

  • Red Team Testing – Simulate a full-scale targeted cyberattack campaign to test both technology and response mechanisms.

Penetration testing provides you with:

  • Real-time insight into actual attack possibilities against your business.

  • Identification of critical security holes that automated scanning tools overlook.

  • Understanding of how an attacker can combine multiple weaknesses to break in.

  • A concrete, prioritized action plan to strengthen security immediately.

  • Better control over your security posture – peace of mind for both IT teams, management, and the board.

  • Identifying vulnerabilities: Using advanced tools and manual assessments, we identify both known and hidden weaknesses in your systems. 

  • Risk assessment: We assess the likelihood of vulnerabilities being exploited and the potential consequences for the business. 

  • Prioritizing measures: We provide you with a clear priority list of measures to be implemented first, based on severity and risk. 

  • Reporting and follow-up: A detailed report with our findings and recommendations is delivered, and we can assist with implementing necessary measures. 

  • Prevent security incidents: Early detection of vulnerabilities can prevent serious attacks and data breaches.  

  • Meet requirements: A vulnerability analysis helps you meet the requirements of standards like ISO27001, NIS2, and GDPR.  

  • Prioritize resources: Focus on the most critical vulnerabilities first, so resources are used effectively.  

  • Protect reputation: Reduce the risk of security incidents that can damage the company's reputation and customer trust.
