Find exposed card data and secrets before attackers do.
Authorised, agentless scans of Linux and Windows servers that discover card data, credentials, exposed keys, expired certificates and configuration issues. The scanner is signed, and raw secrets are never stored, logged or shown.

What Exposure Assessment does
Exposure Assessment discovers sensitive data and security exposures on your assets without installing an agent. It covers payment card data in PCI scope, credentials, exposed cryptographic keys, expired certificates and configuration issues. Scans run only with a valid authorisation for the target, on demand or on a schedule, using profiles you define. A PCI DSS view, baselines and change tracking show what is new since the last scan.
The scanner is signed and its signature and checksum are verified before every run, and a mismatch stops the scan. Raw card numbers, passwords, tokens and private keys are never stored, logged or shown, only masked values and keyed fingerprints. Exposures can become findings, findings can become risks, and exposures link to the controls they relate to.
Key capabilities
Sensitive-data discovery
Card data, credentials, cryptographic keys and expired certificates.
Linux & Windows, agentless
Linux and Windows servers are scanned without installing an agent.
Authorisation first
A scan runs only with a valid authorisation for the target.
Signed scanner
Signature and checksum verified before every run.
No raw secrets
Only masked values and fingerprints are ever kept.
Baselines & changes
Track new and resolved exposures; PCI DSS view and reports.
The business case.
Efficiency, multi-framework alignment, reduced complexity and streamlined processes: what Exposure Assessment changes for your programme.
Unknown card data found
Discovering stray card data shrinks PCI scope and breach impact.
Scope confirmation evidence
Documented discovery supports annual PCI scope confirmation.
Less manual discovery
Scheduled scans replace ad-hoc greps and spreadsheets.
Nothing to deploy
Agentless scanning avoids endpoint software rollouts.
Efficiency figures compare the effort of each workflow cycle in RiskVantis with the same work done manually or in a traditional GRC tool. Your result depends on your starting point; we will model it with you in a demo.
From setup to outcome.
Authorise
Record who approved scanning which targets.
Scan
Run a profile on demand or on schedule.
Review exposures
Masked results, baselines and changes.
Remediate
Create findings, link controls and track to closure.
Supports your obligations.
Exposure Assessment contributes evidence and coverage to these frameworks and regulations.
Common questions.
Does RiskVantis store the card numbers or passwords it finds?
No. Only masked values and keyed fingerprints are kept, and nothing raw is ever stored, logged or returned.
Can anyone start a scan?
A scan runs only with a valid authorisation for its target.
What if the scanner has been tampered with?
Its signature and checksum are verified before every run, and any mismatch stops the scan.
