External Attack Surface Assessment

The Problem

Most organisations lose track of their digital footprint as they grow. Forgotten subdomains, exposed development servers, expired SSL certificates, and misconfigured public cloud storage buckets are common.

Attackers actively scan the internet looking for these forgotten, vulnerable assets. If you don't know an asset exists, you aren't patching or monitoring it.

Who It's For

• Companies that have undergone rapid growth or acquisitions.
• Organisations heavily reliant on cloud infrastructure and web services.
• Companies looking to understand their external visibility from a hacker's perspective.
• IT teams that want to regain control over shadow IT and rogue deployments.

What's Included

This assessment is performed entirely externally, simulating the reconnaissance phase of a real-world cyberattack. (All testing is performed within authorised scope).

• Asset Discovery: Mapping domains, subdomains, and associated IP addresses.
• Service Identification: Identifying exposed services (e.g., RDP, SSH, databases) on discovered assets.
• Certificate Review: Identifying weak, expired, or misconfigured SSL/TLS certificates.
• Public Data Leakage: Searching for publicly discoverable sensitive information or configuration indicators.
• Security Configuration Indicators: Checking for basic missing headers or misconfigurations.

Final scope is confirmed based on your primary domain and known infrastructure footprint.

What You Receive

• A detailed inventory of discovered external assets.
• Technical report detailing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations found.
• Severity classification for each finding.
• Remediation recommendations for securing the attack surface.

Why This Matters

Gaining visibility is the first step in defence. By discovering and securing exposed assets before attackers do, you significantly reduce the likelihood of a successful opportunistic breach and improve your overall operational security.
