What CloneGuard Vulnerability Assessment is

CloneGuard Vulnerability Assessment is a self-managed service for assessing vulnerabilities across internal networks and internet-facing systems through one scanning portal. Asset discovery continually maps hosts, services, and applications to keep the assessment scope current. Cloud scanners assess external systems without software installation, while internal scans use a physical or virtual server placed inside the network and can cover VLANs, data centers, and labs. Teams can run authenticated scans to identify patch-level issues or unauthenticated scans to see what is visible to an attacker. Findings are prioritized using severity, exploitability, and business impact. The portal provides executive summaries, technical details, remediation reports, and compliance-mapped exports. Mappings include PCI DSS 4.0.1, HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST, ISO 27001, and GDPR, among others. Teams can rescan after remediation to check whether issues are closed and track changes. An optional AI assistant explains findings, groups related issues, ranks priorities, and drafts auditor-ready summaries. Plans start at $595 a year; Starter covers 10 public IPs or URLs.
