The gap
You Have a Scanner. What You Do Not Have Is the Time to Fix What It Finds
Most teams already run a scanner. The problem is what happens next: thousands of findings, no owner, no closure, and an audit deadline moving closer.
Findings Pile Up
Scanners surface thousands of issues a month. Without a process to triage and assign them, the backlog only grows.
Severity Is Not Priority
A CVSS score alone does not tell a stretched team what to fix first, or what actually reduces risk in your environment.
Audit and Exploit Pressure
NIS2 and ISO 27001 expect evidence of action, while the time between disclosure and exploitation keeps shrinking. Nothing fixed means real exposure.

What Is Managed Vulnerability Management?
Managed vulnerability management is a service where a provider runs the full lifecycle for you: continuous discovery and scanning across your estate, risk-based prioritisation, remediation driven to verified closure, and reporting mapped to your obligations. It is the continuous, broad layer of a wider exposure-management (CTEM) programme: the team and outcome around a scanner, not the scanner itself.
| Category | What it is | How often | Depth | What it answers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vulnerability scannerThe tool | Automated detection | Continuous | Broad, signature-based | “What weaknesses exist?” |
| Managed vulnerability managementThe service | Discover, prioritise, remediate, verify and report, run for you | Continuous | Broad across the whole estate | “What matters, is it fixed, and can we prove it?” |
| Penetration testingThe engagement | Human-led exploitation of a defined scope | Periodic, point-in-time | Deep on a target | “What could an attacker actually achieve?” → |
| EASMExternal attack surface management | External attack-surface discovery | Continuous | Internet-facing assets only | “What of ours is exposed that we did not know about?” |
Compliance
One Programme, Evidence for Every Framework
We map every part of the service to the regulations Swedish organisations answer to, and produce the evidence an auditor or a board asks for.
| Framework | What it asks | How managed VM delivers the evidence |
|---|---|---|
| NIS2 / CybersäkerhetslagenSFS 2025:1506 | Article 21(2)(e) vulnerability handling and disclosure, and 21(2)(f) processes to assess the effectiveness of security measures. | Continuous handling plus the audit-ready record: what was found, how it was prioritised, what was fixed, when, and proof it closed. |
| ISO 27001:2022 | Annex A 8.8 management of technical vulnerabilities (the control that consolidates the legacy A.12.6.1) and Clause 9.1 monitoring and evaluation. | Our discover, prioritise, remediate, verify and report cycle is built directly around it, with a maintained vulnerability register. |
| DORA | Articles 24 to 25 require regular vulnerability assessments and scans of critical systems, feeding the ICT risk framework. | We supply the ongoing identification and remediation evidence those obligations rest on. (TLPT belongs to the penetration testing service.) |
| GDPR | Article 32(1)(b) ongoing integrity and resilience, and 32(1)(d) a process for regularly testing the effectiveness of technical measures. | Recurring, documented testing and remediation, reportable to IMY where relevant. |

A Continuous, Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Lifecycle
One named method, run every cycle: discover and assess, prioritise by risk, then remediate, verify and report. This is the engine behind the evidence and the closure.
Five Steps, Repeated Every Cycle
01
Discover
Discover & Assess
Continuous internal and external scanning and asset discovery on the platform you already own. Unknown and unmanaged assets are surfaced across endpoints, servers, the external attack surface and, where relevant, cloud posture, into one consolidated view.
02
Prioritise
Prioritise by Risk
Rank using exploitability and business context, not CVSS volume alone, combining CVSS with EPSS exploit-probability, the CISA KEV catalogue, and the criticality and exposure of each asset.
03
Remediate
Remediate to Closure
Drive remediation with clear owners and due dates, integrate with your ticketing, and re-scan to verify the fix actually landed.
04
Verify
Verify
Every fix is confirmed by re-scan before it is marked closed. No assumed remediation.
05
Report
Report
Each cycle ends with executive and technical reporting, mapped to NIS2 and ISO 27001, ready for the board and the auditor.
What You Receive
Ranked Action List
A short, ranked list of what to fix first and why, with no wall of undifferentiated findings.
Owners and Due Dates
Every finding assigned a named owner and a deadline, integrated with your ticketing.
Verified-Closure Status
Re-scan confirmation that the fix landed, not an assumption that it did.
Monthly Reporting
Executive and technical reports mapped to your NIS2 and ISO 27001 obligations.
Immediate Escalation
Critical, known-exploited findings on exposed assets are escalated at once, not held for the cycle.
AI-Assisted Triage
AI-assisted triage and automated remediation workflows on Falcon, consistent with eBuilder AIDR.
Co-Managed
We prioritise and report. Your team remediates with our guidance.
Fully Managed
We run discovery, prioritisation, remediation to closure and reporting end to end.
Either way, the closure and the evidence are ours to deliver. This is a continuous programme with cadence and ownership, not a one-off scan.
Owning a Tool Is Not the Same as Having a Programme
Here is the difference for a team that already runs Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management, Qualys or Rapid7. We manage your existing tool rather than replacing it.
| Capability | Running the tool yourself | eBuilder Security Vulnerability Management |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous scanning | Yes | Yes |
| Findings triaged by real-world risk | Usually missing | Yes |
| Owners and due dates assigned | Usually missing | Yes |
| Remediation chased to closure | Under-resourced | Yes |
| Fixes verified by re-scan | Ad hoc | Yes |
| Board and auditor reporting mapped to NIS2 and ISO 27001 | Usually missing | Yes |
| Cover for non-Microsoft, web, API and OT assets | Blind spots | Yes |
| Someone accountable at 3am | No | Yes |
Data residency
Your Vulnerability Data Stays in Sweden
Where your vulnerability data lives matters under NIS2 and Schrems II, where EU hosting alone is not enough if the provider is exposed to foreign government access. Your vulnerability and asset data is held within Swedish jurisdiction.

Questions
Questions Swedish Buyers Ask Us
Answer-first, tagged by topic. Real questions a security leader types, answered in two to three sentences.
What is managed vulnerability management, and do we need it if we already have Microsoft Defender?
Managed vulnerability management is a service where we run the full lifecycle for you: continuous scanning, risk-based prioritisation, remediation driven to closure, verification by re-scan, and reporting mapped to your obligations. Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management is a capable scanner that finds and scores weaknesses, but it does not decide what matters in your context, chase owners until things are fixed, prove the fix landed, or write the evidence an auditor accepts. It is also strongest on Microsoft assets, with gaps on external web apps, APIs and OT.
What is the difference between vulnerability scanning, a vulnerability assessment and vulnerability management?
A scan is the automated detection step. An assessment is a point-in-time review of what a scan found. Vulnerability management is the continuous programme around both: prioritising, remediating to closure, verifying and reporting, over and over.
Vulnerability management vs patch management, are they the same?
No. Patch management deploys updates. Vulnerability management decides which weaknesses matter, including those with no patch, drives the fix or mitigation to closure, and proves it. Patching is one of the actions a vulnerability programme triggers.
We run Qualys or Rapid7 but nothing gets fixed. What changes with a managed service?
We keep your existing tool and add the missing layer: we triage findings by exploitability and business impact, assign owners and due dates, integrate with your ticketing, and re-scan to verify. You keep your investment and your data in the tool you chose, and findings start closing instead of accumulating.
How do you prioritise which vulnerabilities to fix first?
We prioritise by risk, not raw severity. Each finding is weighed on exploitability, combining its CVSS score with EPSS exploit-probability and whether it is on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list, against the criticality and exposure of the affected asset. A high score on an isolated internal machine ranks below a moderate score on an internet-facing system.
Do NIS2 and the Cybersäkerhetslagen require vulnerability management?
In practice, yes. NIS2 Article 21(2)(e) requires vulnerability handling and disclosure, and 21(2)(f) requires processes to assess the effectiveness of your security measures. In Sweden this is implemented as the Cybersäkerhetslagen (SFS 2025:1506), in force since 15 January 2026, and continuous vulnerability management is the most direct evidence.
How does this support ISO 27001 A.8.8?
Annex A 8.8, management of technical vulnerabilities, expects timely information about vulnerabilities, an assessment of exposure, and appropriate, recorded action. It is the 2022 control that consolidates the older A.12.6.1. Our discover, prioritise, remediate, verify and report cycle produces exactly the register and evidence an auditor asks to see.
Vulnerability management or penetration testing, do we need both?
They answer different questions and most regulated organisations need both. Vulnerability management is continuous and broad, keeping the baseline healthy across your whole estate. Penetration testing is periodic and deep, where skilled testers exploit weaknesses to show real-world impact at a point in time. See our penetration testing service for the deep test.
How fast do you act, and what do we receive each month?
Critical, known-exploited findings on exposed assets are escalated immediately, not held for the monthly cycle. Each month you receive a ranked action list, owners and due dates, verified-closure status, and executive plus technical reporting mapped to NIS2 and ISO 27001.
How do you deploy, and does it run on our existing Defender or CrowdStrike Falcon?
We deliver co-managed or fully managed, on the platform you already run, with no rip-and-replace. We operate Microsoft Defender for the Microsoft majority, or CrowdStrike Falcon, consistent with eBuilder AIDR.
What is CTEM, and how does vulnerability management fit?
Continuous Threat Exposure Management is the wider programme around exposure: scope, discover, prioritise, validate and mobilise. Vulnerability management is its continuous core, the discover-to-remediate engine, while CTEM adds misconfigurations, identities and exposures a scanner alone misses.
How is managed vulnerability management priced?
A predictable monthly service fee scaled to your environment, not a per-finding surprise, typically based on environment size and platform. Ask for a scoped quote for an exact figure.
