Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM)

In today’s interconnected environment, your digital footprint grows rapidly. Every device, application and service you deploy adds to your organisation’s attack surface. At Checkdone IT, we recognise that traditional asset management alone is no longer enough. Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) is essential to gain complete visibility and reduce cyber risks across IT, OT, cloud and IoT environments.

CAASM begins with asset discovery. Using automated tools, we continuously detect all connected assets, from servers and cloud services to industrial devices and shadow IT. Every asset is classified and enriched with metadata to provide valuable context.

Visibility is only the first step. Through attack surface assessment, we evaluate risks linked to each asset. This involves analysing configurations, software versions and network exposure, while prioritising vulnerabilities using business impact and threat intelligence.

Our efforts do not stop there. Continuous monitoring and management is vital. With new devices appearing and configurations changing daily, our CAASM solutions integrates seamlessly with existing tools to ensure real-time visibility and automated alerts.

Enforcing policy and governance is fundamental. Our key policies include:

• All assets must be registered and assigned an owner.

• Critical assets are assessed monthly.

• Internet-facing assets undergo quarterly penetration tests.

• Unsupported or unknown assets are isolated or removed.

When security incidents arise, CAASM becomes a vital part of your incident response. By having a unified view of all assets, you can act quickly — identifying affected systems, assigning ownership, and reducing impact.

By adopting CAASM, you ensure no asset remains unseen and no vulnerability unaddressed. This approach strengthens your resilience and helps to maintain a secure, compliant digital environment ready for the future.

External Attack Surface Management (EASM)

In today’s digital landscape, your organisation’s external presence stretches far beyond the traditional network perimeter. From cloud services and web applications to public-facing APIs and forgotten subdomains, every exposed asset represents a potential doorway for cyber attackers. At Checkdone IT, we take this seriously. That’s why we have embedded External Attack Surface Management (EASM) into our core cybersecurity strategy.

EASM starts with discovery and inventory. It continuously scans the internet to identify all assets tied to your organisation, including those unintentionally exposed. This covers domain names, IP addresses, cloud storage, and SSL certificates.

Once visibility is achieved, we conduct exposure analysis and risk assessment. Each asset is evaluated for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated software. Prioritisation is based on potential impact and likelihood of exploitation. This allows you to focus on what matters most.

We enforce strict policies to ensure exposure is controlled:

• New external assets must be registered before deployment.

• Public-facing assets are scanned weekly for vulnerabilities.

• Unused or orphaned assets must be removed or protected.

Our process is completed by continuous monitoring and incident response. Alerts trigger automated workflows, with forms used to log new assets, track remediation tasks, and document incidents for audit purposes.

Through EASM, we ensure no external asset goes unnoticed. In doing so, we reduce risk, prevent breaches, and strengthen our overall security posture.
