See yourself from the outside—before someone else does.

BrutClad keeps checking what an attacker can see and reach from the internet, every time your exposure changes.

The operating questionWhat is exposed today?

Not only at the annual check

Threat exposure / 01

A small external gap can become a route to the core.

6TBReported data loss in one public Saudi case reviewed
01Internet entry

A public-facing system provided the reported starting point.

02Credentials

Staff login credentials were reportedly taken from the network.

03Core access

The path reached machines supporting wider operations.

04Data removal

Ordinary transfer tools were reportedly used to copy data out.

Public reporting is incomplete and not every claim is independently confirmed. This example illustrates why connected attack paths matter; it does not imply BrutClad would have prevented a past incident.

What we test / 02

Test what attackers actually find from the outside.

What goes wrong

Exposed websites and databases
Open admin and remote-access doors
Forgotten systems and drifting settings
Weak app-to-app permissions
Small gaps that link into a path
Connected devices, where authorised

What BrutClad tests

Leadership reporting
Clear scope boundaries

Outside-in testing covers only the internet-facing assets you authorise. Visibility depends on scope, timing, test accounts, rate limits and agreed quiet periods. It sits alongside internal monitoring, incident response and audit work; it does not replace them.

How it works / 03

One cycle that repeats—
instead of one report a year.

01

Discover

Build an outside view from public internet records and confirm what belongs to you.

02

Test

Perform authorised testing within agreed timing, rate limits and stop rules.

03

Chain

Join separate weaknesses into credible paths toward important systems.

04

Prioritise

Rank confirmed exposure by real risk, supported by reproducible proof.

05

Verify

Re-check completed fixes and preserve evidence of what changed.

06

Monitor

Review new sites, services and exposure changes in the next cycle.

scope
Each cycle / 04

Proof for technical teams.
Clarity for leadership.

01 / Surface

Visible asset inventory

A current view of the internet-facing systems discovered within agreed scope.

02 / Findings

Confirmed technical evidence

Repeatable findings, practical fixes and context showing how gaps may connect.

03 / Change

Exposure alerts and rechecks

Visibility when new services appear and verification after priority fixes.

04 / Decisions

Leadership-ready reporting

A concise risk view plus a summary letter describing scope, dates, methods and limits.

Getting started / 05

Start with one baseline.
Then keep it current.

Step 01

We map it.

Build the initial public view, then confirm with you which systems are yours.

Step 02

You set the rules.

Agree what may be tested, how hard, quiet periods, stop rules and contacts.

Step 03

First full check.

Onboarding begins in week one; the baseline is planned for weeks two to four.

Step 04

Then it repeats.

Re-test changes, verify fixes and review newly visible systems first.

The first decision

See what your organisation looks like from the outside and agree a safe first baseline.
