Risk-Based
Vulnerabilities Management

In modern, complex environments, simply scanning systems for vulnerabilities is no longer enough. At SpearIT, our Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) service shifts vulnerability management from a reactive checkbox exercise to a contextual, strategic process that aligns with organizational risk, regulatory requirements, and real-world threat dynamics.

Discovery & Inventory

We begin with a comprehensive discovery of assets (servers, web apps, APIs, cloud workloads, network devices) and their relationships. These assets are classified by their business value and role in identity, trust, or operational infrastructure.

Vulnerability Scanning

Using industry-grade scanning tools and techniques, we detect known vulnerabilities across your attack surface. In line with SpearIT’s existing vulnerability scanning services, we offer two “lanes” — a standard scan for rapid overview and a compliance-grade scan for high-risk systems with deeper coverage.

We enrich raw scan data with contextual intelligence:

  • Exploitability data (public exploit availability, attacker activity)
  • Threat intelligence trends
  • Asset criticality (how vital the system is to operations or identity trust)
  • Existing compensating controls (e.g. WAF, segmentation, intrusion prevention)

Prioritization & Risk Scoring

Each vulnerability is scored not just by its CVSS base or severity, but via a risk model that factors in likelihood and impact specific to your environment. This allows us to produce a ranked list of vulnerabilities that truly represent the highest exposure.

Odd 1

Remediation Planning & Validation

We issue clear remediation guidance (patching, configuration changes, mitigations) tied to risk. After fixes are applied, we re-scan and validate whether the remediation is effective and safe — preventing regressions or new misconfigurations.

Continuous Monitoring & Feedback Loop

We treat RBVM as an iterative cycle, not a one-off project. New assets and changes are automatically entered into the workflow, risk models adapt over time, and we provide dashboards and trending reports that help track progress and emerging exposures.

Why This Matters for Identity & Trust Ecosystems

Resource Efficiency: In digital identity and trust services, you may have many systems (wallets, trust services, PKI backends). RBVM ensures your scarce resources tackle the vulnerabilities that could undermine trust, rather than chasing every low-risk issue.


Regulatory Alignment: RBVM outputs can be mapped to regulatory frameworks (eIDAS, NIS2, DORA) so that remediation efforts also support audit and compliance objectives.


Threat-Centric Security: Attackers don’t exploit random flaws — they target high-impact pathways. RBVM aligns defensive investment with attacker behavior.


Operational Resilience: By continuously tracking vulnerabilities with a risk lens, organizations reduce exposure windows and can respond proactively rather than reactively.

Cybersecurity Testing & Assurance Services

Independent technical evaluations — from penetration testing and phishing simulations to full red-team exercises — to validate resilience and build confidence in your defenses.

Service Cover
Risk-Based Vulnerabilities Management (RBVM)

We help organizations move beyond patch lists by prioritizing vulnerabilities according to exploitability, business impact, and regulatory requirements. This ensures remediation efforts focus on the issues that truly reduce risk and strengthen resilience.

Service Cover
Red Teaming

Simulates the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of real-world adversaries, we evaluate end-to-end how well your organization’s people, processes, and technologies detect, respond, and recover from a realistic attack.
