External exposure assessment

We begin by confirming the in-scope domain, subdomains (if applicable), and application entry points to define the boundaries of the assessment.

Before any testing begins, a formal Rules of Engagement (RoE) document is is signed by both parties which outlines:

• Approved scope and exclusions

• Testing windows

• Legal authorization to perform testing

All testing is performed strictly within the approved scope to maintain compliance with applicable laws and client security policies.

We use a combination of manual techniques and automated scanning to uncover and assess the security of the approved website and in-scope functionality, including:

• Website pages, directories, and exposed endpoints

• Forms, input fields, and user interaction points

• Login portals and authentication mechanisms
  
  

Each discovered endpoint is then manually analyzed to identify weaknesses such as:

• Security misconfigurations within the application

• Outdated or vulnerable technologies

• Publicly accessible admin panels or sensitive log files

We keep you informed throughout the engagement, including a pre-test notification, real-time escalation of critical findings, and confirmation once testing concludes and reporting begins. 

Once testing is complete, we produce a detailed, professional findings report that includes:

• An executive summary for business and non-technical stakeholders

• A technical breakdown of each identified vulnerability

• Severity ratings based on potential, real-world impact

• Clear remediation guidance for developers
  
  

The final report is securely delivered to ensure confidentiality and data protection.
