OpenVAS is a comprehensive vulnerability scanner that supports both authenticated and unauthenticated testing and covers a wide range of high-level and low-level internet and industrial protocols.
With performance tuning for large-scale scans and a powerful internal programming language that allows you to implement any type of vulnerability test, the scanner offers extensive functionality. The test feed draws on a long history and is updated daily.
We install, host and operate OpenVAS for your company - either on our secure, GDPR-compliant infrastructure in Germany or other locations, as well as on-premise in your own environment.
With 24/7 monitoring, backups and professional maintenance, we ensure maximum availability and reliable operation of your OpenVAS instance. Note: due to the licensing terms of the Greenbone Community Feed (ODbL), we operate an isolated instance per customer with its own feed subscription – no shared multi-tenant scanner. We are happy to procure the Greenbone Enterprise Feed including additional tests directly from Greenbone on request.

OpenVAS is the open-source standard for vulnerability scanning. We extend it for your specific compliance requirements.
The Greenbone Management Protocol enables full automation: Schedule scans, retrieve results, generate reports.
Critical findings can trigger alerts: Email, SNMP trap, syslog, or webhook to your SIEM.
We develop custom vulnerability tests in NASL for your proprietary systems or internal compliance checks.
How we implement OpenVAS development in practice.
ISO 27001 / BSI IT-Grundschutz require regular scans, but standard policies don't cover all requirements.
Custom scan configs checking exact compliance requirements. Reports automatically formatted for audits.
New deployments could introduce vulnerabilities. Security check only happens weeks later.
OpenVAS scan as pipeline stage. Deployment blocked on critical/high findings, ticket automatically created.
Scan results show IPs, but who's the owner? Which system is affected? Manual mapping needed.
Integration with CMDB: Findings automatically enriched with asset owner, criticality rating and SLA requirements.
