Find weak spots. Strengthen your defenses early.
Understand Your Exposure
Over 65% of Australian firms don’t regularly assess their vulnerability to zero-day exploits, leaving them open for months before patches are applied.
Our zero-day risk assessment service identifies these hidden gaps giving you clear, prioritized steps to reduce risk and align with compliance requirements.
How Zero-Day Risk
Assessment Works
1: Discovery & Asset Mapping
We begin by mapping your system assets, from servers and endpoints to apps and cloud services.
- Identify internet-facing systems, unpatched software, custom apps
- Understand architecture, dependencies, and data workflows
- Clarify compliance context: APRA, Privacy Act, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001
2: Threat & Vulnerability Evaluation
Next, we assess your readiness against zero-day and exploitation trends.
- Scan for current vulnerabilities and patch lag across systems
- Use exploit intelligence feeds for emerging threats
- Run “virtual exploit check” to see if attacker tools work on your setup
3: Risk Scoring & Remediation Roadmap
Finally, we score each risk based on exploitability, business impact, and defenses.
- Rank issues by likelihood and damage potential
- Create detailed mitigation plan with priorities
- Map fixes to compliance controls and timeline estimates
Sample Finding:
“Your internal Jenkins build server is exposed via an outdated plugin vulnerable to remote code execution (CVE-2023-37943). The system also lacks multifactor authentication. We recommend immediate plugin removal and deployment of virtual patch #ZT-102 with credential hardening.”
Australian-Specific
Threat Intelligence
Localized Risk Scoring
Sample Finding:
We weight findings based on:
- Active exploitation in APAC region
- Targeting of Australian industries
- Threat actor focus areas
Compliance Integration
- Essential Eight maturity scoring
- CPS 234 readiness reports (financial sector)
- ISM controls mapping (government)

FAQs
Does this assessment require system downtime?
No. Most activities are non-intrusive and can run live. Critical systems may be handled in maintenance windows if needed.
2. How often should we repeat this assessment?
We recommend every 6–12 months or after major software updates or architecture changes.
3. Will we get remediation support?
Yes. Every assessment includes a roadmap, remediation playbook, and compliance mapping. We also offer follow-up services to help implement fixes.
