Attack Surface Management

You can't protect what you don't know exists. We continuously discover your internet-facing assets — including forgotten ones — and alert you to exposures before attackers find them.

Always-on monitoring LIVE

  • Continuous asset discovery
  • Shadow IT detection
  • Analyst-validated exposures
  • Prioritised remediation

Overview

Forgotten subdomains, test servers and exposed remote-access services are a common starting point for attacks on UK organisations. We continuously map what you expose to the internet, including assets created by suppliers or agencies, and alert you when something new or risky appears.

Attackers scan the entire internet every day looking for exposed services, forgotten subdomains, outdated software and misconfigured cloud resources. Most organisations have more internet-facing assets than they think — created by marketing campaigns, acquisitions, test environments and cloud teams moving fast.

Our Attack Surface Management service continuously discovers domains, subdomains, IP ranges, cloud resources, certificates and exposed services associated with your organisation. Analysts validate each exposure, remove false positives and tell you exactly what to fix first.

ASM findings feed directly into our penetration testing and managed vulnerability programmes, so new assets are tested and monitored as soon as they appear.

How our managed services work for UK organisations

  • Cover through UK nights, weekends and bank holidays, when in-house teams are offline
  • Escalations go to your named UK contacts by phone, email or Microsoft Teams, following agreed severities
  • Monthly service reviews scheduled within UK business hours, with evidence packs for ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials and the NHS DSPT
  • Data processing agreement covering transfers from the UK, using the IDTA or UK Addendum where personal data is involved

Frequently asked questions

How is ASM different from vulnerability scanning?

Vulnerability scanning tests assets you already know about. ASM discovers the assets you don't know about, then monitors them continuously.

Do you scan aggressively?

No. Discovery and assessment use non-intrusive techniques. Deeper testing happens only within an authorised penetration test.

How often is the inventory updated?

Discovery runs continuously, with alerts for significant new assets or exposures.

Can you support UK organisations from India?

Yes. All services are delivered remotely by our team in India. India is 4.5 hours ahead of UK time during British Summer Time and 5.5 hours ahead in winter, so our working day overlaps with yours every morning and afternoon. Testing windows and escalation contacts are agreed around your UK schedule, and 24/7 services run around the clock.

Where is our data processed?

Engagement data is handled by our team in India under NDA, with encrypted storage, least-privilege access and secure deletion at the end of the agreed retention period. We can sign a data processing agreement using the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses where personal data is involved.
