Continuous, in practice

The useful question:
what changed?

A result tells you where things stand. A comparison with the previous check tells you where to look next.

An improvement in one area can sit alongside a new concern elsewhere. Keep both in view.

Fictional firm, findings and comparison. Shown to explain the view.
The individual detail

Understand the organisation.
Not just the score.

Your external attack surface is the part of your digital presence that can be seen from outside the organisation.

Soterius begins with a known regulated entity, connects it to the websites and domains associated with the business, and shows the external security findings that sit behind the result.

Organisation identity

The regulator record provides the starting point. Associated domains and websites connect the legal organisation to its visible digital presence.

Email protection

See how the organisation protects its domains against impersonation, with the observation behind each finding.

Websites and domains

Review public website security, encrypted connections and browser protections across the associated estate.

A growing EASM view. Email and website security form the current foundation. The model can broaden as further external assets and checks are added, while preserving the link back to the organisation and its sector.

The result gives a conversation with your IT team or provider somewhere concrete to start: what was observed, where it was found, and why it matters.

What sits behind the current breakdown?
Email protection

SPF identifies authorised senders. DKIM supports checks on signed messages. DMARC sets a policy for messages that fail authentication.

Website security

HTTPS/TLS supports encrypted connections. Security headers instruct browsers on protective behaviour. A security.txt file provides a contact route for reporting security issues.

Some checks have discovery limits. Read the finding alongside its evidence before drawing a conclusion.

From findings to decisions

Know where to
look next.

Soterius turns an external observation into something you can use: a specific issue, an organisation it belongs to, and a meaningful comparison with its peers.

01

Prioritise the review

See which organisations and findings deserve attention first, rather than treating every result as equally important.

02

Ask a better question

Take a clear observation to an internal team or technology provider and ask what has changed, what is intended and what should happen next.

03

Judge it in context

Understand whether the organisation is ahead of, close to or behind comparable firms—and whether that position is moving over time.

The whole-sector advantage

Your result has a context.

A result becomes more useful when you can compare it with similar firms. Use the wider sector to understand where each organisation stands.

One firm.
Your portfolio.
The wider market.

Look closely at the organisations that matter to you, while keeping the sector in view.

The peer group matters as much as the headline result.
Organisation

One firm, its external security breakdown and its position alongside relevant peers.

Portfolio

Your chosen collection of firms, brought together so you can see where to focus a review.

Market

The wider sector: the foundation for selecting peers and understanding the comparison.

SRA

FCA

Financial services

Starting with firms across the Financial Conduct Authority register.

Source registers establish the sector population. Available technical observations vary by firm.

A few useful answers

Before you choose.

What is free?

The proposed free Snapshot is an online overview for an individual firm: headline findings and relevant peer position. The paid PDF brings the detailed findings, evidence and comparison together in a format you can keep and share.

Why pay for the PDF?

Use it for a management review, a discussion with your IT provider or a record of the findings at a particular time. Preview the report to see the extra detail before deciding.

When would I choose Continuous?

When you want to follow changes after the Snapshot: new findings, improvements and movement against peers, for one organisation or a portfolio.

What is a portfolio?

A collection of organisations you want to review together—for example, suppliers or businesses you work with.

Which sectors do you cover?

We are starting with legal and financial services, using the SRA and FCA registers as the foundation.

What does a benchmark tell me?

It shows where a firm stands against relevant peers. Its position can move as other firms change, even when its own findings stay the same.

The picture at a glance.

Example firm · firm.example

The illustrative findings show an email authentication policy in place and website settings that warrant a closer review.

Where the firm stands

Email sits above the peer midpoint in this example. Website security sits below it. These are separate areas to discuss with the team responsible.

A peer comparison puts the findings in context. It does not establish that a firm is secure or compliant.
