Threat Hunting Readiness
Evaluate hunting hypotheses, ATT&CK-mapped scenarios, required event sources, retention, triage quality and response handoffs.
04 / EXPOSURE REDUCTION & OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE
Reduce exposure.Strengthen resilience.
From findings to sustained improvement.
Connect recurring technical exposure, remediation governance and critical-service recovery readiness so security risks are actively addressed and operational controls can be relied upon.
THE ENGAGEMENT OBJECTIVE
From findings to sustained improvement.
Turn technical exposure into prioritised remediation and stronger detection, response and recovery readiness.
Exposure managementRemediation governanceRansomware readinessSOC effectiveness
Common reasons to engage
✓Recurring vulnerabilities remain unresolved after testing
✓Critical services have unproven incident and recovery arrangements
✓Limited visibility into business-critical attack paths and suppliers
✓Existing SOC or MDR investment lacks independent effectiveness validation
Typically for: CISO, SOC leader, IT operations, BCM and technology resilience owners
HOW TO ENGAGE
Four clear ways to begin.
Select a focused assessment or combine specialist modules under a defined statement of work.
OPTION 01
Recurring Attack Surface Management
Agreed periodic discovery, change tracking and internet-facing exposure prioritisation.
Discuss this scopeOPTION 02
Vulnerability & Remediation Assurance
Recurring risk review, owner tracking, technical retest coordination and ageing of material findings.
Discuss this scopeOPTION 03
Cyber Resilience & Recovery Review
Critical-service dependencies, ransomware scenarios, backup and restoration readiness.
Discuss this scopeOPTION 04
SOC Effectiveness & Threat Hunting Review
Detection coverage, alert investigations, ATT&CK-mapped scenarios and readiness of the existing SOC.
Discuss this scopeSTREAM A / EXPOSURE MANAGEMENT
Prioritise and reduce exploitable risk.
Visibility, validation, remediation ownership, agreed reassessment and accountable risk closure.
STREAM B / CYBER RESILIENCE
Prepare critical services for disruption.
Incident readiness, detection effectiveness, ransomware scenarios and evidence of recovery.
CAPABILITIES
Capabilities & Assessment Scope
Explore the modules relevant to your environment. Each module is selected against objectives and competencies confirmed during scoping.
01External Attack Surface Management (ASM)
Periodic or agreed recurrent discovery of authorised internet-facing domains, subdomains, infrastructure and services, with change detection, ownership mapping, exposure prioritisation and follow-up.
02Continuous Threat Exposure Management
Asset and exposure context, attack-path prioritisation, threat-informed validation and planned reassessment cycles.
03Vulnerability Remediation Governance
Finding consolidation, ownership, exception controls, closure oversight, ageing and risk-prioritised dashboards.
04External Attack-Surface Reviews
Internet-exposed assets, services, cloud and shadow IT exposure, with recurring assessment as agreed.
05Critical-Service Cyber Resilience
Important business services, technology dependencies, disruption scenarios and resilience control effectiveness.
06Ransomware, Backup & Recovery Readiness
Backup protection, recovery permissions, immutable copies, restoration evidence and recovery scenario review.
07Incident & Executive Crisis Preparedness
Playbooks, escalation paths, communication arrangements, tabletop exercises and response governance.
08SOC & Detection Effectiveness Assurance
Detection coverage, SIEM/XDR use cases, alert triage, response procedures, purple-team evidence and provider oversight.
09Recovery and Continuity Assurance
DR design, recovery objectives, testing evidence, service transition and operational dependency validation.
10Threat Hunting Readiness & Detection Coverage Review
Assessment of hypotheses, logs, telemetry availability, ATT&CK-mapped detection coverage and hunting process maturity; live managed threat-hunting operations separately scoped.
11Threat Hunting & Detection Readiness Assessment
Evaluate existing blue-team threat-hunting processes, logging and telemetry, ATT&CK coverage, response hand-offs and readiness for threat-led exercises. Operational hunting is separately contracted when delivery capacity permits.
DELIVERY APPROACH
How We Deliver
Defined scope and evidence standards make the specialist work useful to both technical owners and senior management.
01Identify critical services
Agree key assets, failure scenarios, owners and relevant exposure sources.
02Prioritise what matters
Correlate technical evidence with business impact and exploitability.
03Validate readiness
Review controls, exercise playbooks and verify recovery evidence as scoped.
04Track improvement
Assign actions and report risk reduction and unresolved exposure over time.
CLIENT OUTCOMES
Outcomes & Deliverables
✓Reduce the backlog of unmanaged high-risk exposures
