Digital Exposure Monitoring — see changes before someone else does
Your company exposes dozens of signals to the internet: domains, subdomains, certificates, email configuration, open services. Monitoring checks what has changed, classifies the risk, and reports in a language that both executives and IT teams can act on.
How monitoring works
01. Asset inventory
We agree the scope at the start: domains, subdomains, cloud services, IP ranges, and the systems the company wants monitored. We define business and technical owners.
02. Recurring exposure scanning
At the agreed rhythm (weekly or monthly) we scan the publicly visible attack surface: DNS, TLS, HTTP headers, email, visible ports and services, and technology metadata.
03. Change and new-asset detection
We compare the current state with the previous scan. We highlight new subdomains, expiring certificates, configuration changes in email, and other signals that need action.
04. Risk classification and priorities
Each finding is classified by business impact and internet reachability. You receive a report that says what to fix first and what can wait.
05. Report and incident escalation
Findings land in a recurring report. Critical changes (e.g. taken-over subdomain, expired TLS certificate on a production system) are escalated immediately on the agreed channel.
Engagement plans
Starter — monthly monitoring
Once a month: scan and change report for one domain and related subdomains. The report covers new assets, configuration changes, expiring certificates.

Growth — weekly monitoring plus alerts
Weekly scans, alerts on critical changes (new subdomains, taken-over services, expiring TLS certificates on production systems), and a monthly report for management.

Enterprise — continuous monitoring plus escalation
Daily or continuous monitoring, a dedicated incident-escalation channel, integration with company IT processes, and reviews after every infrastructure change.

Before and after
- Before: a new subdomain appears on the vendor side without IT knowing. After: the new asset lands in the report before anyone external notices.
- Before: a TLS certificate expires on the weekend and the production system is down on Monday. After: an alert 30 days before expiry, replacement scheduled in advance.
- Before: SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration changed by a vendor, company email starts landing in spam. After: the change appears in the report, action is taken before the problem escalates.
What this service does not include
- We do not send any requests to production systems — monitoring works only on publicly available signals.
- It is not an authorised vulnerability assessment or penetration test — it detects exposure changes, not attempted intrusion.
- It does not cover internal infrastructure (LAN, Active Directory, on-premise systems) — that is a separate engagement.
- We do not eliminate 100% of risk — we surface changes, classify them, and help set remediation priorities; we do not perform the fixes themselves.
Frequently asked questions
How is monitoring different from an exposure scan?
An Internet Exposure Scan is a one-shot picture: what is visible about the company today. Monitoring repeats the same scope, detects changes, and escalates incidents. A good sequence is: scan first, then monitoring.
How often do scans run?
By default, weekly or monthly. We choose the rhythm based on infrastructure scale and risk appetite. Companies with many subdomains, vendors, and integrations usually pick weekly or continuous.
What happens when monitoring finds a critical change?
We send an alert immediately on the agreed channel (email, phone, Slack). For high-impact changes we escalate the same day. The recurring report contains the full change list and recommendations.
Does monitoring require access to company systems?
No. Monitoring operates only on publicly available signals. It does not require access to the internal network, service accounts, or production systems.

Request exposure monitoring
We define monitoring scope and rhythm after a short briefing: how many domains, how many subdomains, how often infrastructure changes. We return with a cycle proposal and a sample report.
