The pattern we see
Most UK estates do not lack vulnerability data. They lack prioritised action.
Three problems show up in every vulnerability management programme we replace. If any of these sound familiar, your current cyber security posture is leaking exposure.
Scan reports nobody acts on
✕
Monthly Qualys, Tenable or Rapid7 report lands in inbox. 12,000 findings. No one knows which 200 actually matter this week, exploitable in your specific UK estate.
✓
UK senior analyst prioritisation. Top 20 findings per week with exploit context, business impact and a ready-to-action fix.
No visibility on cloud or OT
✕
Traditional scans cover on-prem servers and endpoints. AWS, Azure, Kubernetes and OT estates are invisible. Audit hates this, and ICO assessors will flag the gap.
✓
Unified scanning across endpoint, server, cloud, container, web app and OT. Single risk dashboard, single accountable team.
Closure evidence is missing
✕
Six months later, ISO 27001 audit asks for proof critical findings closed. You have a Jira ticket and an email. Not enough for assessors who need full closure evidence.
✓
Auto-generated remediation evidence packs. ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and audit-ready, on demand promptly.
Four core capabilities. One UK VM team.
What our Vulnerability Management programme includes.

How we run vulnerability management
Live scanning in 14 days. Prioritised actions from week three.
A predictable three-phase onboarding so your security team has prioritised work-orders, not a 12,000-line report.
01
Days 1 – 4
Discover
Asset discovery, agent rollout, cloud-connector configuration, scan schedule design. Baseline risk posture established. Typically 14 days.
02
Days 5 – 10
Prioritise
Weekly UK senior analyst triage. Top 20 actionable findings per week, with verified remediation steps, exploit context and SLA assignment.
03
Day 11 onwards
Remediate & retest
Track remediation in your ITSM. Re-scan on closure. Monthly board-level KPI report. Quarterly programme review with risk-register mapping.

Vulnerability Management FAQs
What UK security leaders ask before signing.
What is vulnerability management as a service?
Vulnerability management as a service is a continuous, outsourced programme covering asset discovery, vulnerability scanning, risk-based prioritisation, remediation guidance, retest and audit reporting, all delivered by a managed team under a fixed monthly fee. Transputec’s programme is Qualys-powered, delivered by Qualys-certified UK senior analysts under ISO 27001 controls. Our practice aligns with the NCSC vulnerability management guidance. For wider context on cloud-side risk, read our blog on how to secure your AWS environment before it becomes a breach.
Why Qualys versus Tenable, Rapid7 or open-source scanners?
Qualys is our primary platform because of breadth (endpoint + cloud + container + OT in one console), API depth (clean ITSM integration) and the maturity of its KEV-aware scoring. We also operate Tenable and Rapid7 estates for clients with existing investment, and integrate open-source scanners (Nuclei, Trivy, Grype) where they make sense. Tooling is the means, not the end. Read our analysis of cyber threats facing UK businesses in 2026 for the wider risk picture.
How much does Vulnerability Management cost in the UK?
UK Vulnerability Management pricing is typically per-asset-per-month, with bands by environment count and scan frequency. Standard endpoint + server scanning starts around £2.40 per asset per month for monthly scans, scaling to £6-9 per asset per month for full continuous coverage with weekly UK senior-analyst triage. Web app scanning is per-application. Cloud-account scanning is per-account. We publish a costed sizing in the SoW before contract signature.
How do you prioritise findings when we have 12,000 in our backlog?
UK senior analyst weekly triage. Each finding is scored on CVSS plus CISA KEV listing plus active-exploit intelligence plus asset business-impact (crown jewels first). Output is the top 20 actionable findings per week, each with verified remediation steps, exploit context and a contractual SLA. The other 11,980 stay tracked and reported on, but your team is not asked to action them. See a real client engagement in our cybersecurity case study for the Strand Palace Hotel.
Can you integrate with our existing ITSM (ServiceNow, Jira)?
Yes. Findings push directly into your existing ITSM, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Freshservice, Zendesk or Microsoft-native ITSM, with closure evidence pushed back to Qualys and to your GRC platform on remediation. Custom integrations to internal ticketing or SOAR platforms are scoped in the SoW. See a real client integration in our cyber security case study for WFS, and explore the wider Cyber Security Services pillar for how vulnerability management integrates with our other capabilities.
What is the difference between vulnerability management and patch management?
Vulnerability management is the continuous process of finding, prioritising and verifying weaknesses across your estate (CVEs, misconfigurations, exposed services, end-of-life software) with risk-based scoring tied to exploitability in YOUR environment. Patch management is one of the remediation tools used to close those vulnerabilities, applying the vendor-released fix for a known CVE. Not every vulnerability has a patch (some need config changes, network segmentation, or compensating controls), and not every patch closes a vulnerability cleanly. Our managed VM service runs both: find, prioritise, route to the right remediation lane, verify closure. See NCSC vulnerability management guidance.
