Qualys expertise, delivered as a managed service.
Qualys is one of the most capable vulnerability and risk platforms on the market. Combined with Secure Chain's managed reporting and remediation, it becomes a measurable, business-aligned defence — not just another scanner.
Qualys VMDR — visibility, prioritisation and response in one place.
Qualys Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response (VMDR) has evolved from a traditional scanner into a unified risk platform. It continuously discovers every asset across hybrid estates, identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, prioritises them against real-world threat intelligence, and integrates patching and workflow automation in the same console.
For UK SMEs and regulated firms, that means one trusted source of truth for the board, the auditor, the cyber insurer and the IT team — instead of five tools that disagree with each other.
- • 10,000+ customers worldwide, including a third of the Forbes Global 500.
- • 25+ years of vulnerability research and signature engineering.
- • Six sigma scanning accuracy (less than 0.003% false positives).
- • Cloud-native architecture — no on-premise infrastructure required.
- • 200+ integrations including ServiceNow, Jira, Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel.
One platform, every surface.
Qualys covers the surfaces attackers actually use — not just servers behind the firewall. That breadth is what makes it suitable for an entire business, not a single team.
Continuous discovery
Agent, agentless and passive sensors map every asset — on-premise, cloud, OT and remote — without waiting for a scan window.
TruRisk prioritisation
Qualys TruRisk scoring blends CVSS, threat intelligence, exploit maturity and asset criticality to surface what actually matters.
Cloud & SaaS posture
Native coverage for AWS, Azure, GCP and Microsoft 365 — misconfigurations, identity risk and compliance drift in one console.
Container & Kubernetes
Image scanning, runtime protection and registry integration shift vulnerability management left without slowing delivery.
Endpoint & mobile
Lightweight Cloud Agent covers Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile estates — including roaming users that never touch the office network.
External attack surface
EASM continuously monitors internet-facing assets, shadow IT and exposed services from an attacker's perspective.
Patch & configuration
Qualys Patch Management deploys fixes directly from the same platform — closing the gap between detection and remediation.
Compliance reporting
Mapped evidence for Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, DSPT and the FCA operational resilience expectations.
Why companies of every size choose Qualys.
One platform, one source of truth
No more reconciling spreadsheets from five different scanners. Qualys consolidates discovery, vulnerability, configuration, EDR and compliance data into a single asset record.
Scales with the business
From a 25-seat law firm to a 5,000-endpoint healthcare group, the same platform — and the same managed service wrap — grows without re-architecting.
Risk reduction you can prove
TruRisk trend reporting lets boards, auditors and insurers see measurable risk reduction month on month — not just a count of patches applied.
Faster mean-time-to-remediate
Combined with Secure Chain's managed service, typical clients see critical-vulnerability MTTR drop from weeks to days within the first quarter.
Constantly pushing the envelope.
Qualys reinvests heavily in research and engineering. The platform we deploy today is materially more capable than it was twelve months ago — and the roadmap keeps pace with attacker tradecraft.
- TruRisk Eliminate — risk-based remediation that recommends compensating controls when patching isn't viable.
- Enterprise TruRisk Management — unifies findings from Qualys and third-party tools into one risk fabric.
- Qualys Flow — low-code automation for triage, ticketing and remediation workflows across ServiceNow, Jira and Teams.
- FixIT and PatchIT — agent-driven patching for Windows, macOS, Linux and 200+ third-party applications.
- Continuous innovation in AI-assisted detection, mobile threat defence and OT/IoT visibility.
The platform is powerful. The service is what makes it work.
A scanner only reduces risk when someone acts on the output. Secure Chain wraps Qualys with a UK-based managed service that turns findings into fixes — and findings into board-ready evidence.
Deploy & tune
We deploy Cloud Agents and scanners, baseline your environment and tune authenticated scanning so findings are accurate from day one.
Triage & prioritise
Our analysts review every critical and high finding, suppress noise, validate exploitability and align remediation to your change windows.
Remediate or advise
We can hand findings to your IT team with clear guidance, co-manage remediation, or take the work end-to-end through our patching service.
Report & govern
Monthly executive reports, board-ready risk trends and audit evidence packs — mapped to Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001 controls.
