External Security Analysis
We examine the company’s infrastructure from an internet perspective. We identify domains, IP addresses, hosts, open ports, available services, applications, and remote access systems. We analyze their configuration, potential vulnerabilities, and information that could facilitate an attack.
What might an external analysis reveal?
How it works?
From an External Assessment to a Security Plan
Determining the Scope
First, we define the scope of the analysis, the organization’s known resources, and the guidelines for conducting active testing. We also determine which actions can be performed without additional approval and which require prior approval.
Identification and Verification of Resources
We compile information from a variety of publicly available sources and verify which of the resources we find are actually associated with the organization. We distinguish between the company’s infrastructure and services provided by third-party vendors, and select the elements that require further analysis.
Assessment of the Severity of Detected Issues
Not every finding requires the same response. We assess issues in the context of the system’s purpose, its level of exposure, and the potential impact on the organization to determine which ones require immediate action.
Report and Action Plan
We provide a comprehensive report describing the issues detected, assessing their severity, and outlining recommended actions. Based on this report, we can also implement the recommended technical changes and then re-evaluate the environment to confirm the effectiveness of the security measures implemented.
Frequently asked questions
We explain the process of designing, implementing, and maintaining network infrastructure, as well as the solutions we can tailor to an organization’s needs.
Can an audit disrupt a company's operations?
+
We determine the scope and method of testing in advance. Potentially sensitive activities are performed only after approval.
Do we need full network documentation?
+
No. If the documentation is incomplete, we treat it as part of the audit and help reconstruct the environment.
Will we receive specific recommendations?
+
Yes. The report includes a description of the problems, priorities, and recommendations for action for IT and management.
Do you help implement changes?
+
Yes. After the audit, we can help you plan and implement the most important improvements.
First, we analyze the current network, the number of users and devices, the services in use, and the performance and security requirements.
Based on this, we develop a plan for the changes, select the equipment and determine the network segmentation strategy, and then plan the implementation in a way that minimizes the impact of the work on the company’s day-to-day operations.
Not always. We can plan most projects in phases or carry them out outside of standard business hours.
If a network outage is necessary, we determine its scope and duration in advance. We also prepare a migration and testing plan to restore full service availability as quickly as possible.
Yes, as long as the environment configuration and your licenses allow it.
Monitoring may include, but is not limited to, unusual logins, permission changes, administrative account activity, account takeover attempts, and email and data access events.
Not always. First, we check whether current devices and systems can transmit the data needed to detect threats.
We only recommend replacement if a solution is no longer supported, does not provide the required information, or prevents effective incident response.
First, we verify the alert and determine whether it indicates an actual threat. Then, we assess its source, scope, and potential impact on the company's operations.
Further action depends on the previously established procedure. It may include notifying designated individuals, locking the account, isolating the device, restricting access, or initiating incident remediation.
The method and timing of notification depend on the threat level and the established escalation path.
Critical incidents that may impact data security or business continuity are immediately escalated to designated individuals. Lower-priority incidents may be described in a periodic report along with recommendations.

External reconnaissance. We identify domains, subdomains, IP addresses, hosts, certificates, and other resources associated with the organization.
Vulnerabilities and Configuration. We check for known vulnerabilities, outdated systems, misconfigurations, and services that are more widely accessible than their intended purpose requires.
Data and external exposure. We check public repositories, data leaks related to the company's domain, and other data that could be exploited during an attack.
Ports, services, and technologies. We check which systems are accessible from the Internet, which ports are open, and which services and technologies are running behind them.
We Assess What Your Organization Exposes Externally
We analyze publicly available resources, services, configurations, and information to secure the elements that require a response.
