Tenable Capabilities

Our Tenable partnership helps customers achieve measurable impact by deploying and optimizing Tenable exposure management solutions aligned to business and mission requirements.

  • Evaluate current vulnerability management program maturity, tooling effectiveness, and scanning coverage across the environment.

  • Review Tenable configuration including scan policies, credentials, scan schedules, exclusions, and safe checks for accuracy and completeness.

  • Assess reporting and dashboards for executive visibility, operational remediation tracking, and compliance alignment.

  • Identify opportunities to improve false positive reduction, scan performance, and operational efficiency.

  • Provide a risk-ranked findings report, recommended improvements, and a phased remediation roadmap.

  • Deliver updated standard operating procedures (SOPs) for scanning operations, governance cadence, and continuous monitoring.

Tenable Vulnerability Management Assessment

Tenable Deployment and Credentialed Scanning Enablement

  • Plan and implement Tenable deployment architecture (Tenable VM / Tenable.sc / Nessus) aligned to environment size, segmentation, and security requirements.

  • Install and configure Nessus scanners (on-prem, cloud, distributed) for scalable internal and external vulnerability coverage.

  • Configure scan zones, repositories, and scanner groups to support enterprise scanning operations and performance optimization.

  • Enable credentialed scanning for Windows and Linux systems to improve vulnerability detection accuracy and reduce false negatives.

  • Integrate with Active Directory/LDAP for authentication and secure credential handling where applicable.

  • Implement scanning schedules for continuous monitoring (daily/weekly/monthly) based on asset criticality and maintenance windows.

  • Configure asset tagging and categorization (business units, critical apps, environments) to improve reporting and prioritization.

  • Configure dashboards, reporting, and automated exports to support security operations and compliance requirements.

  • Provide implementation documentation, credentialed scan validation results, and knowledge transfer/training for ongoing operations.

Tenable Compliance Scanning and Reporting

Managed Tenable Vulnerability Management Services

  • Provide ongoing end-to-end management of Tenable platforms (Tenable VM / Tenable One / Tenable.sc / Nessus) to support continuous vulnerability operations.

  • Perform asset discovery, tagging, and inventory validation to ensure complete coverage and accurate reporting across environments.

  • Manage continuous and scheduled vulnerability scanning (internal/external) based on asset criticality, risk tier, and maintenance windows.

  • Configure and maintain credentialed scanning for Windows/Linux systems and supported devices to increase scan accuracy and reduce false negatives.

  • Perform routine scan tuning and optimization (policies, timeouts, exclusions, scan windows) to improve performance and minimize operational impact.

  • Monitor scanning health and remediate issues including scan failures, credential errors, unreachable assets, and plugin update validation.

  • Deliver risk-based vulnerability prioritization, focusing remediation on critical and exploitable threats aligned to business impact.

  • Support vulnerability remediation through ticket creation, assignment workflows, SLA tracking, and verification rescans.

  • Provide continuous monitoring of emerging threats and critical CVEs, including rapid assessment of organizational exposure.

  • Generate executive and technical reporting (monthly/quarterly) including KPIs such as exposure trends, remediation progress, and risk aging.

  • Support compliance initiatives with vulnerability reporting aligned to frameworks (e.g., NIST / RMF / CIS / STIG).

  • Offer security program governance support including cadence meetings, recommendations, and vulnerability management maturity improvements.

  • Configure and execute Tenable compliance scans to assess systems against required baselines (e.g., CIS Benchmarks, DISA STIGs, organizational hardening standards).

  • Deploy and manage credentialed compliance scanning for Windows/Linux systems to validate secure configurations and policy settings.

  • Establish compliance audit scope across servers, endpoints, network devices, and cloud workloads (as applicable).

  • Implement and tune compliance audit files / templates and ensure the correct benchmark versions are applied.

  • Map compliance findings to control frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-53 / RMF, internal policy requirements) to support governance and audit readiness.

  • Deliver executive dashboards showing compliance scores, risk trends, and high-impact control gaps across the environment.

  • Provide technical reporting with detailed findings, affected assets, evidence outputs, and remediation guidance.

  • Support remediation by prioritizing high-risk configuration weaknesses and tracking progress over time.

  • Conduct recurring scheduled compliance scans to detect configuration drift and continuously validate control enforcement.

  • Generate audit-ready outputs to support POA&M development, security assessments, and continuous monitoring activities.

  • Integrate Tenable compliance results into ticketing/SIEM workflows for operational tracking and faster remediation closure.

  • Provide monthly/quarterly compliance reporting packages with metrics, improvement trends, and recommendations.
