🛡️ Think You’re Compliant? Not Without Ongoing Vulnerability Scanning

Why Banks, Healthcare Providers, and Regulated Businesses Must Stay Ahead of Cyber Risks

If your business handles sensitive data—like financial records, health information, or personally identifiable information (PII)—you already know compliance frameworks like HIPAA, PCI DSS, and NIST 800-53 require more than firewalls and antivirus.

They require proof that you’re actively identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities.

And that’s where most businesses fall short.

At Rooted Technology Solutions, we help healthcare providers, financial institutions, and other compliance-driven organizations close the gap between “compliant on paper” and “secure in practice” with our V-Scan Vulnerability Management Service.

🚨 The Threat Is Evolving—Are You?

The average time between a new vulnerability being discovered and being actively exploited is less than 15 days.

Yet many organizations are still relying on quarterly assessments or basic antivirus software to keep their systems secure—leaving dangerous gaps in protection.

If you’re not continuously scanning your environment, there’s a high chance your systems are vulnerable right now. And in regulated industries, that’s not just risky—it’s a liability.

🔍 What is Vulnerability Scanning, and Why Does It Matter?

Vulnerability scanning is the process of automatically identifying known weaknesses in your network, devices, and applications before attackers exploit them.

For regulated industries, it’s not optional.

Regulatory Requirements:

  • HIPAA requires risk analysis and ongoing system evaluation (§164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A))

  • PCI DSS mandates regular internal and external vulnerability scans (Req. 11.2)

  • GLBA & FFIEC guidance recommends continuous monitoring and risk management

  • NIST 800-171 / 800-53 defines vulnerability scanning as a baseline control (RA-5)

Yet compliance aside, the real cost comes from failing to detect and fix weaknesses before attackers do.
