Scans and runs

A scan checks the targets you authorise, on demand or on a schedule, and Tasks › Runs lists each time it ran.

In the app: Tasks › ScansWho can do this: Contributor or above

Add a scan

Scan typeWhat it does
Attack SurfaceMaps what your domains expose to the internet. Outside Custom Configuration, tick either review below under Configuration reviews to run it over what the scan finds.
Dark Web DiscoveryLooks for leaked credentials tied to your domains, in breach data and on the dark web.
TLS & cipher configurationReviews which TLS versions and cipher suites a service accepts, and its certificate.
HTTP security headersChecks the security headers your web services send.
  1. Open Tasks › Scans and select New Scan.
  2. Enter a Scan Name, then choose a Scan Type and a Run Mode: On Demand or Scheduled. To switch run mode later, delete the scan and create it again.
  3. For an Attack Surface scan, Scan Preset Type sets how far it goes: Passive Scanning, Active Scanning, Deep Scanning or Custom Configuration. A preset outside your plan shows a lock.
  4. Add the targets. Dark Web Discovery takes Monitored Domains and, optionally, Monitored Emails.
  5. Tick the box confirming your organisation is authorised to scan the targets, then select Create Scan.

If asked to prove you control a target, select Go to Domains and follow Verify another target.

Run a scan

Open the scan's row menu in Tasks › Scans, choose Trigger Scan, then Yes, Trigger. An Attack Surface scan opens Live Scan; a Dark Web Discovery scan opens Dark web › Exposures.

When a scan is blocked, Trigger Scan is greyed out with the reason beneath it, and the next item opens the fix.

Repeat a scan on a schedule

  1. Select New Scan and set Run Mode to Scheduled.
  2. In Schedule, choose Daily, Weekly or Monthly; the platform picks the run time. Custom (advanced) takes a cron expression.
  3. Select Create Scan. For the next run time, turn on the Next Run column from View.

Paid plans include scheduled scans, and the frequencies depend on your plan; see pricing.

Watch a scan live

Live Scan shows an Attack Surface scan's progress as it runs. Paid plans include a discovery graph and the names of what it finds; see pricing. Both also need a verified domain.

Review the results

Open Tasks › Runs and expand a scan to see its runs, or choose View Result from the scan's row menu in Tasks › Scans. Paid plans include the detail of what each run found; see pricing. It also needs a verified domain.
