External footprint mapping
Build a clearer view of in-scope domains, public services, certificates and related infrastructure signals.
Attack surface contextBring authorized public-source research and external attack-surface intelligence together to map relevant digital footprints, connect signals and give security teams a clearer basis for action.
Map domains and public records that are in scope for the review.
Large volumes of public data are difficult to interpret on their own. We organize relevant findings around your approved scope, explain how sources connect and identify signals that merit follow-up.
Build a clearer view of in-scope domains, public services, certificates and related infrastructure signals.
Attack surface contextCorrelate approved organization identifiers with relevant public records and source-backed relationships.
Relationship analysisSurface public indicators that may warrant validation by the appropriate security or incident response team.
Prioritized signalsUseful intelligence connects observations to entities, timeframes and sources. We distinguish reported information from validated observations and show where further confirmation is needed.
Domains, subdomains, certificates, public code references and other approved organization identifiers.
Public service indicators and technology references that help teams review their external footprint.
Source-backed links between entities, brands, systems and relevant public records, with uncertainty called out.
Public mentions or exposure indicators organized to support triage and determine whether validation is needed.
Available information can be incomplete, outdated or incorrectly attributed. Research should connect records to the right organization and preserve enough context for teams to judge whether a signal deserves follow-up.
Review relevant domain, DNS, certificate and service references associated with approved organization identifiers.
Use official sites, public documentation, reports and filings to clarify products, ownership references and known services.
Consider publicly indexed repositories, advisories and media references when relevant to the agreed security purpose.
A repeatable process keeps research relevant, transparent and easier for security teams to act on.
Agree the subject identifiers, research purpose, boundaries, sources and handling requirements.
Review appropriate public information connected to the approved organization or external footprint.
Connect records carefully, preserve source context and distinguish evidence from inference.
Explain confidence, relevance and recommended validation or remediation owners.
Deliverables connect the research to security workflows, with source context and clear limits so teams can distinguish actionable findings from leads that need more validation.
Show relevant identifiers and relationships within the approved scope.
Record where signals came from and whether they were independently validated.
Identify owners and next steps for review, validation or remediation.
ASINT/OSINT research can support different security activities when the subject, source types and intended use are defined up front.
Help security teams understand public-facing identifiers and plan deeper authorized testing where useful.
Security postureOrganize relevant public signals and timelines to help authorized response teams assess next steps.
Incident supportMap selected public dependencies and supplier references to inform vendor risk discussions.
Supply chain contextResearch quality depends on the scope, sources and intended security use. Here are a few common questions about the work.
Here, ASINT refers to attack-surface intelligence: organizing information about an organization’s public digital footprint. OSINT is research using appropriate, publicly available sources. The exact scope and terminology are confirmed for each engagement.
No. Public-source research can identify signals and potential exposure, but it does not automatically validate a technical weakness. Active testing requires separate authorization and a defined scope.
Findings retain source context and are described with appropriate confidence. Conflicts, attribution limits and items that need independent validation are called out in the report.
Work is scoped around a legitimate, authorized security purpose and minimizes personal data collection. Any people-related research requires explicit justification, appropriate authorization and agreed handling boundaries.
Provide the organization identifiers you control, the question you need answered, any excluded subjects and how findings should be handled. We confirm boundaries before research begins.
Tell us the identifiers in scope and the security question you are trying to answer. We can shape a source-aware intelligence review around your needs.
