Services

Managed Vulnerability Management

Your scanner finds thousands of vulnerabilities. A program closes the ones that matter. We run vulnerability management as a service on the Rapid7 platform - scanning, prioritization, and the follow-through that actually shrinks the backlog. IT and OT.

A scan is not a program

Plenty of organizations own a vulnerability scanner. Far fewer have a vulnerability management program. The difference shows up in the backlog: findings pile up faster than anyone closes them, the critical count never moves, and every audit starts with the same awkward export.

The missing piece is rarely technology. It's ownership. Someone has to decide which findings actually matter in your environment, hand them to the people who can fix them, verify the fix landed, and report progress in terms leadership and auditors understand. That's the part we run.

What the service includes

Scanning coverage that reflects reality. Agents, network scans, and cloud coverage tuned to your environment - not a default template. Assets that appear and disappear get found. Blind spots get named, then closed.

Risk-based prioritization. Severity scores alone produce a to-do list nobody can finish. We prioritize on exploitability, exposure, and what the asset actually does in your business, so remediation effort goes where risk lives.

Remediation follow-through. Findings get owners, tickets, and deadlines. We chase them. When a patch can't happen - legacy systems, vendor constraints, change freezes - we document the compensating control instead of letting the finding rot.

Reporting that answers real questions. A monthly readout on what's open, what closed, what's trending, and what needs a decision. Written for the person who signs the cyber insurance renewal, not just the person who reads CVEs.

Built on Rapid7

Nubivance is a Rapid7 Registered Partner. We deliver this service on Rapid7's platform - InsightVM for vulnerability management, with lightweight agents for continuous visibility, live dashboards, and remediation workflows that integrate with the ticketing systems your teams already use.

We chose Rapid7 because we've deployed it at scale and it holds up: full-platform rollouts covering vulnerability management, detection and response, event sources, and agent fleets. If you already own Rapid7 licenses that never got fully deployed, we can put them to work - deployment and tuning is part of what we do, not an upsell.

IT and OT, together

Most vulnerability management stops at the server room door. Ours doesn't. We've built and run a vulnerability management program for a statewide transportation agency spanning traditional IT and operational technology - SCADA systems and the infrastructure the public depends on every day.

OT changes the rules: you can't blindly scan a control system, patch windows are measured in months, and "just update it" is often not an option. A program that covers OT has to know when to scan passively, when to rely on compensating controls, and how to report risk on systems that will never be fully patched. We've done it in production, at scale.

How an engagement runs

Assess. We start with what you have - existing tooling, current backlog, coverage gaps, and how findings flow (or don't) to the people who fix things. You get a straight-answer readout of where the program stands.

Deploy and tune. Rapid7 rollout or cleanup: agents, scan engines, event sources, asset groups, and dashboards configured for your environment. If the platform is already in place, we tune what's there before adding anything.

Run. A monthly operating cadence: scans reviewed, findings prioritized and assigned, remediation tracked, exceptions documented, leadership readout delivered. You see the backlog trend down.

Hand off, if you want it. Some clients keep us on retainer. Others want their own team running the program within a year. Either works - the playbooks, tuning, and reporting we build are yours. Handoff is always on the table, because a program that depends on us forever isn't finished.

Who this fits

Regulated mid-market organizations facing SOC 2, HIPAA, or CMMC requirements where "we scan quarterly" no longer satisfies anyone. Municipalities and public-sector teams with real infrastructure and no security headcount. And any organization with Rapid7 licenses gathering dust because deployment stalled after procurement.

If you're smaller than that, start with small business security. If you need the leadership layer above the program - strategy, compliance readiness, board reporting - that's vCxO Advisory, and the two pair well.

Start with the backlog

Tell us what your scanner is finding and who's supposed to be fixing it. You'll get a straight answer about whether we can help and roughly what it would cost. If your situation is smaller than a managed program, or outside our strengths, you'll hear that instead of a proposal.
