ATTACK SURFACE TESTING
Human Depth Where Automation Stops.
Attackers do not wait for your next test, and they only need one way in. With fully managed Attack Surface Testing, Bishop Fox experts continuously test your external attack surface the way real attackers would. They chain weaknesses, prove what is exploitable, and stand behind every result, so your team knows exactly where to act.

CONTINUOUS INSIGHTS NOT CONTINUOUS NOISE
SECURE YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS WITH CONFIDENCE
A point-in-time penetration test shows where you stood on the day of the test. The threat landscape is constantly shifting, and knowing your exposures before attackers do is critical, even when limited resources and competing priorities stand in the way. Bishop Fox Attack Surface Testing provides continuous testing coverage so you can focus on the risks that matter most.
There are some attacks automated tools will never find on their own. It takes an expert who thinks like an attacker to chain several small weaknesses into one serious breach, or to work out an exploit for an exposure that has no ready-made playbook. That is where our Adversarial Operations Team spends its time, going deep on the misconfigurations, exposed services, vulnerable software, and overlooked entry points most likely to be exploited.
Your team receives only validated, high-impact findings, prioritized by real-world exploitability and business risk. Each finding includes the evidence behind it, the full attack path, detailed technical findings, and a clear business impact summary, all published in real time to the Bishop Fox Portal. Every result is proven by a named Bishop Fox expert, so when you need to show a board, auditor, or major customer that a risk was real and is now closed, you have human-backed proof.

HOW WE DO IT
TECH-ENABLED. EXPERT LED. ALL FOR YOU.
Automation covers ground quickly and gives our experts a running start. Then people do the work a machine cannot, taking the burden off your team while strengthening your security posture.
PROACTIVE VULNERABILITY AND EXPOSURE DETECTION.
Automated testing sweeps your external attack surface, then our experts investigate each surfaced exposure across exposed services, misconfigurations, information disclosures, subdomain takeovers, and more. They also prove whether weaknesses in certificates, DNS, and email are real entry points an attacker can use.
ACCURATE, NOISE-FREE SECURITY INTELLIGENCE
Rather than overloading your team with raw scan results, we apply multiple automated and manual checks to remove duplicates, eliminate false positives, and confirm true negatives. Every lead is triaged and prioritized before hands-on validation, so you get accurate, noise-free security intelligence, with 100% of false positives removed before you ever see them.
FOCUS WHERE IT MATTERS
Our Adversarial Operations Team emulates real-world attack scenarios within your rules of engagement. They chain separate weaknesses into real attack paths, pursue exploits with no ready-made playbook, and take proven exposures far enough to show business impact. Severity is based on actual business impact, not theoretical scoring.
EXPERT GUIDANCE & SUPPORT
You receive validated findings with remediation guidance, evidence of exploitation, and direct access to our testers. When you fix something, request an on-demand retest and an operator confirms it is closed, removing uncertainty about whether an issue has been fully resolved.

BEYOND THE TEST
Built Into Your Workflow and Your Security Program
YOUR RESULTS, WHERE YOU WORK
Clarity Without the Complexity
All findings, attack surface details, and remediation progress live in the Bishop Fox Portal, with findings that flow into Jira and ServiceNow, a public API, and a read-only AI assistant for pulling and questioning your data. The portal also houses compliance-ready reports, audit documentation, and historical trends, making it easier to track success, prove risk reduction, and maintain regulatory confidence. Direct access to our testers means the people who did the work are there when you have questions.
PART OF CONTINUOUS SECURITY TESTING
Test What You Actually Expose
Expert testing is only as good as the surface behind it. Pair Attack Surface Testing with Attack Surface Discovery so our experts always test your live, validated inventory, and with Emerging Threat Testing for fast answers when a new vulnerability makes headlines. Prefer to start with testing? Bring your own asset list and we will test it.
In a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) program, Attack Surface Testing delivers the Validation stage and carries it through remediation with a continuous fix-and-retest loop, so your team knows which exposures an attacker can actually use.

Attack Surface Testing Explained
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Attack Surface Testing?
Attack Surface Testing is a fully managed service in which Bishop Fox experts continuously test your external attack surface, chain weaknesses the way real attackers do, prove what is exploitable, and confirm your fixes.
What does an automated scanner miss that your experts find?
Automated tools rarely chain several small weaknesses into one serious breach or work out an exploit for an exposure with no ready-made playbook. Our Adversarial Operations Team spends its time on exactly that.
Do I need Attack Surface Discovery first?
No. Discovery strengthens testing by keeping the inventory current, but you can bring your own asset list and we will test it.
How do I see and act on my results?
Every result lands in the Bishop Fox Portal, with findings flowing into Jira and ServiceNow, a public API, and a read-only AI assistant. The Bishop Fox experts behind each result are available for questions.
How is Attack Surface Testing different from a penetration test?
A point-in-time penetration test shows where you stood on the day of the test. Attack Surface Testing keeps expert testing running across your in-scope assets, so findings arrive in real time in the Bishop Fox Portal instead of once at the end of an engagement.
How does retesting work?
When you fix a finding, you can request an on-demand retest. An operator retests it and confirms it is closed, so closure is verified, not assumed.
Can I use these findings for audits?
Yes. Every finding is proven by a named Bishop Fox expert with evidence, and the Bishop Fox Portal houses compliance-ready reports and audit documentation.
