Overview
You cannot protect what you cannot see
Every organisation's attack surface is made up of the systems, services and people an attacker could use to get in. That includes your internet-facing websites and cloud services, the suppliers you rely on, shadow IT spun up outside official channels, and the forgotten or misconfigured systems that quietly drift out of view.
Attack surface management is the ongoing discipline of finding those entry points, understanding the risk each one carries and steadily reducing it. Because your environment changes week by week, a single snapshot is never enough. We give you a continuous, expert-reviewed view of your exposure instead.
Our service is delivered in partnership with Rootshell Security, a CREST and CHECK accredited provider, and combines automated discovery and scanning with human analysis and a dedicated platform for managing what we find.
What's included
What our attack surface management covers
We look across your digital estate and beyond it, combining discovery, vulnerability insight and live monitoring.
Asset discovery
We catalogue known, unknown and shadow assets, including third-party and subsidiary systems, to remove blind spots from your inventory.
Vulnerability management
Discovered assets are assessed for weaknesses so your team can prioritise the fixes that reduce the most risk.
Typosquat and subdomain monitoring
We watch for lookalike domains and unexpected subdomains that could be used for phishing or impersonation.
Port and protocol change alerts
Changes to the ports and protocols exposed on your public IP addresses are flagged so new exposures do not go unnoticed.
Credential leak detection
We check for leaked credentials linked to your organisation, with optional data breach checks available as an add-on.
Threat intelligence
Insight into emerging threats feeds directly into the process, keeping prioritisation aligned with what attackers are actually doing.
How it works
How the service works
-
Discover
We map your internet-facing footprint, from known and shadow assets to third-party systems and rogue or malicious items such as phishing sites and leaked data.
-
Analyse
Assets are categorised and assigned owners, then checked for misconfigurations, outdated software and open ports, with each issue scored by how likely it is to be exploited.
-
Remediate
High-priority exposures are fixed or retired, unmanaged tools are brought under policy, and wider controls such as MFA and least privilege are rolled out.
-
Monitor
Continuous scanning and alerting keep pace with your environment, so new assets and new risks are picked up as they appear.
Benefits
Why organisations choose us
Fewer blind spots
A living inventory of your exposed assets means unknown and unmanaged systems are found before an attacker stumbles across them.
Expert-triaged results
Tailored scans are reviewed by specialists, so you receive clear, triaged findings rather than raw tool output.
One place for all your data
Attack surface, penetration testing and vulnerability data sit together in a single platform, and you can bring in results from your existing suppliers.
Compliance support
Clear reporting and continuous monitoring help you evidence good security practice to auditors, customers and regulators.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why does attack surface management matter?
Modern IT environments change constantly as new cloud services, applications and suppliers are added. Attack surface management finds unknown, unmanaged and third-party assets before attackers can take advantage of them, giving you the chance to secure or remove them first.
How is external attack surface management different?
External attack surface management focuses on the internet-facing assets anyone can see without credentials. Broader attack surface management can also take in internal systems, configurations and insider risk, giving a more complete picture of your exposure.
What counts as part of my attack surface?
Typically it includes public domains and subdomains, IP addresses and servers, APIs and endpoints, cloud services and their configurations, and components in your third-party supply chain. Physical hardware and human factors such as phishing susceptibility also contribute to overall risk.
Who in my organisation benefits from this service?
Security teams, including SOC, red and blue teams, use it to focus their efforts. IT operations gain a clearer asset inventory, while compliance and risk teams benefit from consistent reporting and monitoring.
How is the service packaged?
Attack surface management is delivered on a 12-month contract with access to the Rootshell Platform, tailored scans, triaged results, reporting and continuous monitoring. Periodic typosquat detection and data breach checks for leaked credentials can be added as options.
