Attack Surface & Vulnerability Management

Continuous discovery and scanning of exposed assets with fixes prioritised by real risk.

Annual testing leaves fifty-one weeks of unknown. Attack surface management fills the gap: continuous discovery of what you expose to the internet, scanning for new vulnerabilities and a monthly view of what to fix first. It catches the forgotten subdomain and the newly published exploit before someone else does.

Prioritisation is the point. We rank by exploitability and business impact, so the team fixes what matters rather than everything the scanner lists.

How we're different
  • Findings are validated by an analyst before they reach your team, so no chasing false positives.
  • New exposures trigger an alert within the day, not at the next monthly report.
  • The service links to our testing practice, so a serious finding can be verified by hand quickly.
Who this is for
  • A global group with many brands, many domains and no register of what is on the internet.
  • A retailer or airline whose marketing teams launch microsites and campaign domains every month.
  • A company with an annual test and a growing gap between tests.
Signals you need this now
  • A forgotten subdomain or staging server was found by a researcher or an attacker.
  • A critical vulnerability was published and it took days to know whether you were exposed.
  • Scanner output is long, unvalidated and ignored.
  • Acquired companies brought assets nobody has inventoried.
Scope of work

What is included.

  1. 01

    Asset discovery

    Domains, subdomains, IP ranges, cloud resources and third-party services found and inventoried.

  2. 02

    Continuous scanning

    Vulnerability and misconfiguration scanning across the inventory with new assets picked up automatically.

  3. 03

    Triage and prioritisation

    Findings validated by a person and ranked by exploitability and impact.

  4. 04

    Remediation tracking

    Tickets, owners and deadlines tracked to closure.

  5. 05

    Monthly exposure report

    What changed, what was fixed and what remains.

Method

Four steps, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Build the initial inventory from seeds you provide and what we find.

  2. 02

    Scan

    Continuous scanning with tuned coverage and schedules.

  3. 03

    Triage

    Analyst validation and prioritisation with context.

  4. 04

    Track

    Remediation tracked and reported monthly.

How the engagement runs

From first meeting to steady state.

  1. 01Weeks 1 to 3

    Discover

    Initial inventory built from seeds you provide and what we find, with owners assigned.

  2. 02Weeks 4 to 6

    Scan and tune

    Continuous scanning configured, coverage tuned and noise removed.

  3. 03Month 2 onwards

    Operate

    Analyst triage, alerting on new exposures, remediation tracking and monthly reporting.

What we measure
  • Time from a new exposure appearing to it being known and owned.
  • Validated findings open by severity and age.
  • Share of internet-facing assets with a named owner.
  • Time from a published vulnerability to confirmed exposure status.
Who is on the engagement
  • Security analyst
  • Vulnerability management lead
  • Penetration tester on call
  • Service manager
Deliverables
  • External asset inventory.
  • Continuous scanning coverage.
  • Validated, prioritised findings feed.
  • Remediation tracker.
  • Monthly exposure report.
Engagement terms

Attack surface management runs as a monthly retainer sized by the number of assets, with a twelve-month initial term. Onboarding and initial discovery are a fixed-scope project of two to three weeks.

FAQ

Attack Surface & Vulnerability Management, in plain terms.

A test is deep and point in time. This is broad and continuous. Most organisations need both: this to catch what appears between tests, and tests to find what scanners can't.

A combination of commercial and open-source tooling, tuned per client. The tool matters less than the validation and prioritisation on top.

Yes, with an internal scanning agent. The core service focuses on what is exposed to the internet, which is where most opportunistic attacks start.

We track and advise as standard, and our engineers can remediate on request or under a managed IT arrangement.
