Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation Planning
NextGridIT provides scoped vulnerability assessments using the same tools and processes used in enterprise compliance environments — Tenable.sc, risk-based prioritization, and cross-team remediation coordination. The difference is the output: findings are ranked by real exploitability and business impact, with a remediation plan your team can actually execute. Optional follow-up helps you close the gaps instead of just cataloging them.
Who this is for
Best fit for small and mid-sized businesses, medical practices, municipalities, and any organization that knows they have security gaps but needs someone to identify, prioritize, and help fix them.
IT directors who know they have gaps but need someone to identify and prioritize them
Compliance officers who need documented vulnerability findings for audit support
Business owners who want a security checkup without committing to a full penetration test
Our approach
Scoping
2-3 daysWe define the assessment boundaries — external, internal, or both — and agree on the systems in scope, timing, and any constraints around production environments.
Scanning and discovery
3-5 daysWe run scoped vulnerability scans using the same tools and processes used in enterprise compliance environments. Results are filtered for real findings, not noise.
Analysis and prioritization
3-5 daysEvery finding is evaluated for real exploitability and business impact — not just CVSS score. You get a prioritized list that reflects what an actual attacker would target.
Remediation planning and delivery
3-5 daysWe deliver a remediation roadmap with clear steps, effort estimates, and priority ordering. Optional follow-up helps you close the gaps and validates that fixes actually work.
Typical outcomes
- Clear visibility into what's actually vulnerable — not just what a scanner flags
- Prioritized remediation plan ordered by real risk and business impact
- Optional validation after fixes are applied to confirm gaps are actually closed
Pricing
Project-based. Vulnerability assessments typically range from $2,500-$6,000 depending on scope (external-only vs. external+internal) and the number of systems involved.
Every engagement starts with a conversation. We scope the work, agree on deliverables, and provide a clear quote before anything begins.
Delivery
Remote-first for scanning and analysis. On-site available for internal scanner deployment and stakeholder briefings in Upstate SC.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment scans for known weaknesses and prioritizes them. A penetration test actively tries to exploit those weaknesses to prove real-world impact. Many organizations start with a vulnerability assessment and move to penetration testing for specific high-risk areas.
Do we need to install anything on our network?
It depends on the scope. External assessments require no internal access. Internal assessments may require a scanner deployment, which can be done with minimal footprint and removed after the engagement.
