Scantide security visibility

External attack surface assessment without starting a consultancy project

Your public servers, DNS records, mail infrastructure and exposed services tell a story. Scantide helps you read it before attackers, auditors or customers do.

See what your company exposes online

Most companies have more internet-facing exposure than they think. Old servers, forgotten subdomains, weak mail records, missing security headers, expired certificates, exposed services and unclear hosting locations can all increase risk.

A consultant can investigate this manually, but the first step is usually the same: collect evidence, structure the findings and decide what needs attention. Scantide gives IT teams that first visibility layer on demand.

Evidence first

Scantide shows the technical signals behind each finding instead of only showing a red, yellow or green status.

Useful before consulting

Run the first visibility review yourself, then bring in expert help where validation or remediation requires it.

Built for reporting

Findings are structured so they can be shared with management, IT, suppliers or consultants.

Security visibility before the consultancy bill

A traditional assessment is valuable, especially for validation and remediation. But many companies first need a basic answer: what do we expose, where is it hosted, and what evidence supports the risk? Scantide helps answer that before committing to a larger engagement.

What Scantide helps check

These checks are presented as visibility and risk indicators. They help you understand what deserves validation, remediation or deeper expert review.

Public server posture

  • HTTPS and redirect behavior
  • SSL/TLS certificate status
  • Certificate issuer and expiration
  • HTTP security headers
  • Server header evidence

DNS and mail exposure

  • Nameservers and DNS records
  • MX records
  • SPF and DMARC
  • DNSSEC indicators
  • Mail infrastructure location

Risk indicators

  • Open ports and service banners
  • Product/version indicators
  • CVE indicators where matched
  • Hosting jurisdiction
  • GDPR and Cloud Act context

Useful for

Scantide is strongest when a team needs quick, repeatable visibility before a larger audit, consulting project or remediation sprint.

Pre-audit preparation

Gather evidence before a supplier review, customer audit, cyber insurance questionnaire or NIS2 readiness discussion.

MSP customer reviews

Create repeatable reports across customer environments without rebuilding the same checks manually.

Inherited infrastructure

Quickly document public systems after migrations, acquisitions or internal handovers.

Questions teams usually ask

Is this a penetration test?

No. Scantide is positioned as security visibility and evidence reporting. It helps identify exposure and indicators that may deserve deeper validation.

Can I use the report with a consultant?

Yes. The report is useful before consulting work because it shows what was found and gives the consultant a stronger starting point.
