In the past, I have used VIGILANTe SecureScan. They are a subscription
based vulnerability assessment service. For an annual fee, you can
execute scans as often as once per day. Their reports are quite detailed
(i.e. whois lookups, findings, severity levels, w/corresponding
advisories/fix actions). From what recall, they are based on ISS, Nmap,
a few other hacking tools, and home grown scripts. In addition to their
service, they offer software too. I'm probably not doing them justice,
if you are interested, please refer to their site
(http://www.vigilante.com).

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact
me. Thank you.
