Platforms
Continuous monitoring between engagements.
Point-in-time testing tells you where you stand today. The HackingByte platforms keep watch the rest of the time — continuous coverage so new exposure surfaces as it appears, not at the next test.
- Senior-led delivery.
- Vendor-independent.
- Evidence-driven reporting.
Our platforms
-
Vulnerability management
Continuous scanning and tracking of vulnerabilities across your in-scope assets, prioritised by what they actually expose rather than raw severity counts, and tracked from discovery to retest.
-
Attack-surface monitoring
Ongoing discovery and change detection across your internet-facing surface — domains, hosts, and services — including the shadow assets no one remembers standing up.
-
Dark-web monitoring
A continuous watch across criminal marketplaces and forums for leaked credentials, exposed data, and mentions of your organisation — surfaced with the context to act.
The platforms complement senior-led testing — they don’t replace it.
How it works
How the platforms work with an engagement.
The platforms aren’t a separate product line — they extend the senior team that runs your engagements. The model is deliberate:
-
Continuous coverage runs. Each platform watches the assets, surface, or exposure it’s scoped to, the whole time — not just at the next test.
-
A senior triages what matters. A finding that needs judgement — a chain, a business-logic issue, real exposure versus noise — is reviewed by a practitioner, never left as a raw alert feed.
-
It feeds the next engagement. Where a finding warrants depth, it becomes the starting point for a point-in-time test or assessment — so monitoring and testing inform each other.
Pricing. The platforms run as a continuing subscription scoped to the size of your estate or surface, deployed on-premises or in the cloud — separate from the fixed-price, banded engagements. We sell no third-party tooling and take no vendor commissions, so the monitoring carries the same agenda as the testing: telling you what’s true.
Frequently asked questions
Do the platforms replace a penetration test?
- No — they’re continuous coverage between engagements. A point-in-time test still proves exploitability and depth; the two are built to inform each other.
Who reviews the findings?
- The same senior team that runs your engagements. Anything that needs human judgement is triaged by a practitioner, not left as a raw feed to interpret.
Do you resell scanning tools?
- No. We sell no tooling and take no vendor commissions, so the monitoring has no agenda beyond accurate signal.
Can we start with one platform?
- Yes — each is scoped independently. Many programmes start with attack-surface or vulnerability coverage and add the others as the need becomes clear.
