External attack surface management

See your company the way attackers do.

Add a domain. Attack Surface Scan finds everything you have on the internet, watches it every day, and puts the problems attackers are using right now at the top.

No card required. Nothing to install. From $25/month, flat.

Every check, on every plan.

Plans differ on how many domains are watched and how often, never on what gets looked at. No agents, no network access and no attack traffic: it only reads what the internet can already see, under domains you have proven you own.

Your full inventory

Every internet-facing system under your domains, found from public sources, with where each one is hosted.

Exploited right now

Weaknesses in the software you run, ranked by whether attackers are using them today, so you fix the few that matter.

Exposed services

Databases, remote-access tools and admin consoles that should never answer the internet. You hear about it that morning.

Certificates

Expiring and misconfigured certificates, and any certificate issued for your name by someone you did not authorise.

Email impersonation

Whether your domains can be used to send convincing fake email to your customers, staff or suppliers.

Lookalike domains

New registrations built to phish your customers or staff, watched from public records only. On Growth and above.

Domain ownership

Registrations about to lapse, and domains that could be transferred away without an extra check.

Reputation and privacy

Blocklist listings that usually mean a compromise, plus forms and tracking that leak visitor data.

Findings are ranked from critical to informational and rolled up into a single 0 to 100 posture score. The engineer's version of this list, check by check, is in the checks reference.

Set up in one minute.

Most teams have their first report within minutes of signing up.

01

Add your domain

Takes about a minute. Prove you own it with one of four simple methods; your IT team will know which suits.

02

It checks everything under it

The first report is ready in minutes, then it re-checks on a schedule so you hear about changes, not snapshots.

03

Your team gets a short list

Every finding has a severity, the evidence behind it and the specific fix, ranked so the urgent items are at the top.

Handing this to your IT team? Getting started walks them through it.

Hear about it the morning it happens.

Your estate changes every week. Attack Surface Scan re-checks on a schedule and tells you what moved: a forgotten server, a certificate that stopped renewing, a database that started answering the internet.

New systemsCertificatesExposed servicesLookalike domainsRegistration lapses

Urgent changes are sent the moment they are found; everything else arrives as one weekly digest. Accepted risks are recorded with a reason and a review date, so the digest stays short and the decision is on file for the auditor.

Evidence your auditor will accept.

Dated reports and an evidence pack that show monitoring ran all year, mapped to the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls your auditor asks about and the questions on your insurer's form.

SOC 2ISO 27001PCI DSS 4.0Cyber insuranceVendor reviews

Honest scoping: this is monitoring evidence for a handful of controls, not a compliance program, a penetration test or a PCI ASV scan. Control-by-control mapping is in the audit evidence guide; in a SOC 2 Type 2 window? See SOC 2 evidence.

Attack Surface Scan + AI

Ask your assistant. It runs the scan.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor to your account and ask what is expiring, what changed this week, or for a client's branded report. Same permissions and ownership rules as the app. Every report also hands its fixes to your coding agent as a ready-made prompt.

For MSPs, vCISOs and agencies

Run security for clients? Put your name on it.

Every client estate in one console, and every report goes out under your brand: your logo, your name, your color, your website in the footer. Our name never appears on the page.

  • 25 verified domains across your clients, 250 hosts each
  • Client workspaces with per-client alert routing
  • White-label PDF reports, daily scans, 25 team seats

Defender EASM bills per asset. We don't.

With metered pricing, every forgotten server that discovery turns up makes the bill bigger. Ours is one flat monthly price per plan, with no sales call to get a quote.

What we access

Only what is already public, and only under domains you have proven you own.

  • Read-only: we look, we never change anything.
  • No agents, credentials, VPN or internal network access.
  • No logins, attack traffic or load testing.
  • Ownership is re-confirmed regularly; checking stops if the proof is removed.
  • Our scanner identifies itself to your systems, so your team can recognise it.

How scanning works →

Security and data handling

We hold findings about your public systems and the account details you give us.

  • Hosted on AWS in the United States (N. Virginia).
  • Encrypted in transit and at rest; every customer's data is partitioned by account.
  • Two processors only, one for hosting and one for payments, both named in the privacy policy.
  • No advertising trackers. We never sell your data or your findings.
  • Reports deleted automatically after a year; everything deleted within 30 days of closing your account.

Security questionnaires

Send your vendor security questionnaire to sales@attacksurfacescan.com and a person will complete it. The technical answers most reviewers need (what we scan, how, from which public data sources) are already published in the documentation, and suspected misuse reaches us at security@attacksurfacescan.com.

Billing and contract

  • Monthly or yearly; yearly is two months free.
  • Pay by card or another common payment method at checkout. We never see or store card numbers.
  • 7-day trial of the Starter plan, no card required.

Frequently asked questions.

What is external attack surface management?

External attack surface management (EASM) is the practice of continuously finding and checking everything your organization exposes to the public internet (websites, forgotten systems, certificates, email settings, exposed services) and alerting you when something changes or becomes risky. It looks at your organization the way an outside attacker would: from the internet, with no credentials and nothing installed.

Do we need to install anything or give you network access?

No. There are no agents, appliances or code changes, and no access to your internal network. Attack Surface Scan only looks at what is already public. You prove you own a domain and it starts checking.

Is it safe to run against production systems?

Yes. Every check is read-only and behaves like an ordinary visitor. There are no login attempts, no attack traffic and no load testing, so it cannot disrupt a production system. The full list of what it does and never does is in the documentation.

Can it be pointed at systems we do not own?

No. Each domain passes an ownership check before anything is checked, that proof is re-confirmed regularly, and scanning stops if it disappears. Related domains it discovers are shown to you for confirmation, never checked automatically.

How does pricing compare with per-asset EASM platforms?

Most enterprise attack surface platforms charge per asset, so the bill rises as discovery finds more of your estate. Attack Surface Scan charges a flat monthly price per plan, from $25/month, with a set number of domains and systems included. Exceeding a limit never creates an overage charge. See pricing and our worked comparison with Microsoft Defender EASM's published rate.

Does it find vulnerabilities?

Yes: known, published vulnerabilities in the software your internet-facing systems reveal, ranked by whether attackers are exploiting them now, plus software that is past its vendor's end of support. It does not attempt to exploit anything, so it complements rather than replaces a penetration test.

Can the reports be used for SOC 2, ISO 27001 or cyber insurance?

Yes, as evidence that you continuously monitor your external attack surface. Every scheduled check is kept, any report exports as a dated PDF, and the evidence pack shows monitoring operated across the whole period, with findings mapped to common frameworks. It is not a certification, a penetration test or a PCI ASV scan.

Does it work with the tools we already use?

Yes. Alerts go to email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and Jira, or to any security tool that accepts a webhook. Findings, inventory and change history export to CSV, and Growth plans and above include a REST API. Setup guides are in the documentation.

Can I connect Attack Surface Scan to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. A hosted MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor and other AI assistants run checks, read findings, watch changes and generate reports, only for domains your account has verified. You sign in with your normal account; there are no keys to manage. Setup guide.

Can MSPs or agencies offer Attack Surface Scan to their clients?

Yes. The MSP plan ($149/month) monitors every client from one console, puts your own logo and name on the reports your clients receive, groups domains into client workspaces, and routes each client's alerts to their own channel. It covers 25 domains with unlimited checks and daily scheduling. See the MSP page.

How much does Attack Surface Scan cost?

Plans start at $25/month, with two months free on annual billing. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and no card is required to begin. See the pricing page for what each plan includes.

Where is the technical documentation?

In the help centre: how verification and checking work, every check with its severity and fix, integrations, the REST API and the public data sources used. It is written for the engineer or security reviewer you forward this page to.
