An ongoing vulnerability management program that scans from the inside, ships events in real time, and surfaces what's actually exploitable. Not just what scores high on paper..
Authenticated scanning from inside your network. It is the only way to see what's actually exploitable.
Every device on your network is identified, including ones your IT team may not have mapped. Nothing is assumed invisible.
The scanner authenticates to each machine using admin credentials, the same way your IT team would. This exposes the full picture: software versions, patch gaps, running services, registry configuration.
Every finding is checked against the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Any match is immediately classified P0: confirmed active exploitation in the wild.
Findings are ranked by actual exploitability, not just severity score. A medium CVSS with active exploit code in the wild ranks above a critical CVSS with no known exploitation.
Findings are delivered as a ranked action list with named owners, SLA deadlines, and specific remediation steps, not a raw export of CVE IDs.
No finding is marked closed without a rescan confirming the fix. Every remediation is verified, not assumed.
Security events from your machines, reviewed every morning.
A lightweight agent is installed on Windows machines. It reads system security event logs and ships them in real time via an encrypted tunnel to Northstar's monitoring platform.
Authentication events, privilege changes, new admin accounts, PowerShell execution, after-hours access, all collected and stored with a 90-day minimum retention window.
Structured detection rules fire on behavioral patterns that indicate compromise, insider activity, or policy violations. Rules are tuned to reduce noise. You are notified when something warrants attention, not on every event.
Every morning, a Northstar advisor reviews the previous 24 hours across all monitored environments. Anything suspicious is investigated the same day, not held for the monthly report.
Full internal scan: every asset, every patch gap, every service. Cross-referenced against the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on every run.
Findings ranked by exploitability with named owners, SLA deadlines, and specific remediation guidance. Not a raw findings export. It is a program document.
Walk through the top findings directly with your advisor. What changed, what is still open, what to address first. Quarterly business reviews track trend data.
