Network Reconnaissance Service
Helping map your IT network and identify where potential security issues exist
Our network reconnaissance service
One of the fundamental security challenges within an organization is the visibility gap between assumed, or known infrastructure, and what exists. After all, if you can’t see a legitimate device on your network then how can you properly defend it?
Similarly, if you are missing legitimate devices, are you also missing unauthorized ones too? Devices that could provide backdoors into your network and leave your infrastructure exposed.
Whether it’s because of merger activities, personnel changes, or infrastructure changes over time, it is estimated that the average ‘shadow IT’ visibility gap in large organizations is around 40% of the total network infrastructure.
Our network reconnaissance service is designed to provide you with an accurate, 360-degree view of your IT network and the assets within it, helping you make informed decisions when it comes to your security.
Understand your IT network
Our network reconnaissance service provides real-time visibility of connected devices across your entire network and the output can easily be shared with internal tools such as SIEM solutions.
Identify potential weaknesses
We will help you uncover potentially unsecure assets and look to identify potential weaknesses within your network, weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious threats.
Support security improvement
Our job doesn’t finish on delivery of a report, our consultants will be available following our engagement to pass on their wealth of expertise and support your improvement efforts.
What we review
Whether you’re looking for a one-off review or a regular assessment, our network reconnaissance service is tailored to your needs, utilizing both software tooling and security consultancy services to ensure you get the best possible results.
Our service typically consists of two testing phases:
Phase 1: Discovery
The discovery phase uses non-invasive techniques to gather a list of domains, IP ranges, and other assets believed to belong to the organization. Once we have a list, we will confirm ownership of these assets and seek approval to obtain further information.
Phase 2: Active Reconnaissance
During the active reconnaissance phase, network traffic will be sent directly to the approved assets, allowing us to enrich the asset register with details such as the open ports, software versions running, and screenshots of any web applications or services.

4. Reporting

Our job doesn't finish on the delivery of a report. We make our consultants available after your test to provide clarification on findings & pass on their wealth of expertise.
