Security & Trust Surface
External security exposure indicators with the evidence behind them, plus authorized scanner verification inside a scope you declare.
About Security & Trust Surface
Trust Surface reads what your site exposes to anyone on the internet: TLS and header posture, third-party scripts, storage keys, and client-rendered surfaces reached by a headless pass. Findings are normalized, scored by category, trended, and carry the evidence they were derived from. The positioning is deliberately narrow: tiers 1 to 3 are passive external exposure indicators, not penetration testing and not confirmed vulnerabilities, and every surface that shows a finding says so. Tier 4 is the only active layer — authorized verification with Nuclei, OWASP ZAP in passive mode, and TLS auditing via sslyze — and it runs only against domains you declare, only after you accept an explicit consent statement. Verified findings are labelled apart from passive indicators so a report cannot blur the two into one claim. An OWASP coverage matrix shows which categories the checks touch without implying a full OWASP program. Authenticated crawling can map surfaces behind a login using role sessions, with tenant isolation checks.
Use Cases
Review external exposure indicators with the evidence behind each one
Run authorized scanner verification inside a declared scope
Keep verified findings distinct from passive observations in a report
Map what is exposed behind a login using role sessions
Show which OWASP categories the checks actually cover
