SECURITY FOR GROWING BUSINESSES

Your Startup Is Growing. Is Your Security Keeping Up?

Startups move quickly. New infrastructure, software updates, cloud services, and product launches can introduce security weaknesses that go unnoticed. External vulnerability scanning helps engineering teams identify known vulnerabilities across internet-facing systems before those weaknesses become larger security risks.

When Should Your Startup Run a Scan?

Before a Product Launch

Assess your public-facing infrastructure before releasing a new website, platform, or service.

Before Enterprise Customer Onboarding

Identify vulnerabilities before responding to customer security reviews or vendor assessments.

Before Security Audits

Review external security exposure while preparing for SOC 2 or other security assessments.

After Infrastructure Changes

Check for vulnerabilities after introducing new servers, services, or significant infrastructure updates.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXTERNAL EXPOSURE

What Should Your Startup Include in a Vulnerability Scan?

Start by identifying the internet-facing infrastructure your business operates or is authorized to assess. For startups using cloud hosting, SaaS platforms, or dedicated servers, understanding which systems are publicly accessible is an important first step.

Public-Facing Servers

Internet-accessible servers and operating systems supporting your business.

Cloud-Hosted Infrastructure

Public IP addresses and network services associated with cloud-hosted environments.

Websites & Hosted Services

Authorized public-facing targets supporting your website or online services.

Remote Access Infrastructure

Internet-facing VPNs and other remote access services used by your team.

IDENTIFY SECURITY WEAKNESSES

What Could Your External Scan Reveal?

Even small engineering teams can accumulate security vulnerabilities as infrastructure evolves. A professional external vulnerability scan helps identify known weaknesses that should be investigated and addressed.

Outdated Software

Known vulnerabilities affecting externally identifiable software and operating system versions.

Exposed Network Services

Publicly accessible services that may introduce unnecessary security exposure.

Vulnerable Remote Access

Known security weaknesses affecting internet-facing VPNs and remote access infrastructure.

Configuration Weaknesses

Externally detectable security configuration issues affecting supported systems and services.

Identifying vulnerabilities early helps your team prioritize remediation and maintain a stronger security foundation as your business grows.
