Ongoing Security Monitoring

Security is not a one-off event. Our quarterly monitoring service continuously scans your digital assets, alerts you to new vulnerabilities within hours, and keeps your security posture strong between annual assessments.

Why Continuous Monitoring Beats Annual Audits

< 4hrs

Alert Response

When a critical CVE affects your technology stack, we alert you within 4 hours — before automated botnets begin mass exploitation

Quarterly

Regular Scanning

Automated comprehensive scans every 90 days catch new vulnerabilities, expired certificates, configuration drift, and newly exposed services

73%

Fewer Incidents

Organisations with continuous monitoring experience 73% fewer security incidents than those relying on annual-only assessments

$200/qtr

Affordable Protection

Ongoing monitoring at $200 per quarter costs less per month than a single coffee-a-day habit — while protecting assets worth millions

What Our Monitoring Service Includes

Quarterly Automated Vulnerability Scans

Every 90 days, our AI scanning engine performs a comprehensive sweep of your external-facing assets — websites, email domains, network perimeter, cloud endpoints, and any new services discovered since the last scan. Each quarterly scan includes the same rigour as our standalone assessments: full OWASP testing for web applications, port scanning across your network perimeter, SSL/TLS grading, and email authentication verification. You receive a fresh report after every scan with findings compared against the previous quarter.

Real-Time CVE Alerting

Between quarterly scans, our AI monitors public vulnerability databases — NVD, Exploit-DB, and vendor advisories — cross-referencing new disclosures against your known technology stack. When a critical vulnerability (CVSS 9.0+) is published that affects software running on your infrastructure, we notify your team within 4 hours with the affected asset, vulnerability details, available patches, and recommended mitigation steps. This bridges the gap between quarterly scans, which is when most opportunistic attacks occur.

4-hour notification SLA
Patch availability tracking

Certificate & Domain Monitoring

SSL/TLS certificate expiry is one of the most common — and most preventable — causes of website downtime and security warnings. We monitor all your certificates and alert you 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry. We also watch for unauthorised certificate issuance via Certificate Transparency logs (which could indicate domain compromise), DNS record changes, and new subdomains appearing in your zone — all potential indicators of compromise or misconfiguration.

Attack Surface Change Detection

Your attack surface changes constantly — new cloud services spun up, test servers left running, third-party integrations exposing new endpoints. Our continuous discovery engine maintains an up-to-date inventory of your external-facing assets and flags any changes since the last scan: new ports opened, services added, subdomains created, or cloud resources deployed. This catches shadow IT and accidental exposure before attackers discover it.

Security Posture Trending

Each quarterly report includes trend analysis showing how your security posture has evolved — vulnerabilities found vs remediated, mean time to fix, recurring issues, and overall risk score movement. This data helps you demonstrate security improvement to your board, satisfy compliance auditors with evidence of continuous monitoring, and identify systemic issues (like a development team that consistently introduces the same class of vulnerability) that need process-level intervention.

Rapid Re-Testing After Remediation

When your team fixes a vulnerability identified in a quarterly scan, you do not need to wait 90 days for the next cycle to confirm the fix. Submit a re-test request through your monitoring dashboard and we validate the remediation within 48 hours — updating your security posture score and closing the finding in your tracking report. This ensures fixes are actually effective and provides immediate confirmation for compliance evidence.
