Continuous vulnerability management SaaS
Schedule OpenVAS, ZAP, Nuclei, and Nmap; track findings with attack narratives; close the loop with Vanta - lighter continuous VM for SaaS, SMB, and MSP teams than Qualys VMDR or InsightVM, from $25/month.
The continuous VM loop
Discover, scan, prioritize, remediate, prove - on a schedule that matches SOC 2 Type 2 and customer expectations.
1. Schedule multi-engine scans
Recurring OpenVAS, ZAP DAST, Nuclei, and Nmap against your external (and Pro plan internal) targets.
2. Track vulnerabilities
Central dashboard with severity, history, and remediation guidance so findings do not die in a one-off report.
3. Attack narratives
Context on how issues can be exploited helps engineers and auditors prioritize what matters.
4. Vanta evidence loop
Optionally auto-upload timestamped scan evidence to Vanta for continuous compliance workflows.
Explore external attack surface monitoring, Qualys alternative, Rapid7 alternative, and Vanta vulnerability scanning.
Lighter than enterprise VMDR platforms
Built for teams that need continuous scanning without Qualys VMDR or InsightVM complexity.
| Need | Qualys VMDR / InsightVM | Panoptic Scans |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Enterprise quotes | From $25/mo |
| Deployment | Agents, appliances, collectors | Cloud-hosted + optional internal script |
| Audience | Large enterprise VM programs | SaaS, SMB, MSP |
| Engines | Vendor proprietary platforms | OpenVAS, ZAP, Nuclei, Nmap |
Panoptic Scans does not offer SAST or dependency/SCA scanning and does not replace penetration testing.
Evidence over time
Historical scans for Type 2 programs
SOC 2 Type 2 and customer questionnaires ask for operating effectiveness - not a single scan. Retain scheduled results, show remediation progress, and export auditor-ready reports.
Surface visibility
Pair with external attack surface monitoring
Continuous VM starts with knowing what is exposed. Combine scheduled vulnerability engines with ongoing port and service discovery for internet-facing assets.
Turn on continuous scanning in minutes.
Multi-engine SaaS VM from $25/month.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is continuous vulnerability management?
Continuous vulnerability management is the ongoing cycle of discovering assets, scanning for weaknesses, tracking findings, remediating, and retaining evidence over time - not a one-off PDF. Panoptic Scans supports scheduled multi-engine scans and historical results.
How does Panoptic Scans compare to Qualys VMDR or Rapid7 InsightVM?
Qualys VMDR and InsightVM are full enterprise vulnerability management platforms with broader asset ecosystems and quote-based packaging. Panoptic Scans is a lighter SaaS for SaaS/SMB/MSP teams: hosted OpenVAS, ZAP, Nuclei, and Nmap with narratives and public pricing from $25/month.
Which scanners run on a schedule?
You can schedule OpenVAS network scans, ZAP DAST, Nuclei template scans, and Nmap discovery according to your plan and targets.
Does continuous scanning replace penetration testing?
No. Continuous automated scanning supports ongoing identification and monitoring. Penetration testing remains a separate, human-led control.
Can findings upload to Vanta?
Yes. Panoptic Scans can automatically upload vulnerability evidence to Vanta for SOC 2 and related programs. Other vendors may also integrate with Vanta.
