External Exposure Change Monitoring for Managed Infrastructure

Know what changed across the infrastructure you manage.

SurfaceDiff helps hosting providers, MSPs and managed cloud teams detect changes across public-facing domains, hosts, ports, services, DNS and TLS - with timestamped evidence and host-level correlation.

Infrastructure changes. Public exposure changes with it.

A temporary port opened for testing can remain exposed after the work is complete.

A staging subdomain can become publicly reachable.

A DNS update can redirect traffic unexpectedly.

A service running on an existing port can change without anyone noticing.

SurfaceDiff creates recurring external snapshots and shows what changed between them.

New public port

A port opened for a deployment or a test can remain reachable long after the work is done.

New or changed subdomain

A staging or development subdomain can become publicly reachable without anyone deciding it should be.

DNS change

A DNS update can redirect traffic to different infrastructure than the team expects.

Service fingerprint change

A service running on an already-open port can change without triggering any alert on its own.

Built for teams managing many domains and shared infrastructure.

See the change, not only the current state

Traditional scanners show what is exposed now. SurfaceDiff shows what appeared, disappeared or changed since the previous scan.

Reduce repetitive investigation

Correlate domains with shared infrastructure so one host-level change does not create dozens of repeated investigations.

Keep timestamped evidence

Each incident includes the previous state, current state, timestamps and supporting evidence.

Start without installing agents

SurfaceDiff observes verified domains externally, without requiring software installation across customer servers.

Where SurfaceDiff fits

Managed hosting providers

Monitor changes across customer domains after provisioning, migrations, maintenance and configuration work.

MSPs and MSSPs

Add recurring external change monitoring to managed security and infrastructure services.

Managed WordPress and agency platforms

Detect unexpected exposure across production, staging and development environments.

Cloud and data centre operators

Maintain an independent external view of changes across managed customer infrastructure.

Guided 14-Day External Exposure Assessment

Validate SurfaceDiff on a representative part of your real environment before deciding whether continued monitoring makes sense.

  • Guided selection of up to 20 verified domains
  • Shared-infrastructure mapping
  • Initial external exposure baseline
  • 14 days of recurring monitoring
  • Detection of changes across ports, services, subdomains, DNS and TLS
  • Review of detected incidents
  • Final findings summary
  • No card
  • No automatic subscription

At the end of the assessment, your team receives a clear record of what was exposed initially, what changed during the monitoring period and which findings require further review.

How the assessment works

1

Select representative domains

We help choose up to 20 domains that reflect your hosting or managed infrastructure environment.

2

Verify ownership

Domains are verified before scanning to ensure SurfaceDiff only monitors authorized infrastructure.

3

Establish the baseline

SurfaceDiff records the initial public exposure across hosts, ports, services, DNS, subdomains and TLS.

4

Monitor changes

Recurring scans compare each new snapshot with the previous state.

5

Review the findings

We review detected changes with your team and provide a final summary.

Designed for controlled and authorized monitoring

  • Only verified domains are monitored
  • No agent installation is required
  • Access is role-based
  • Incidents retain evidence and activity history
  • Monitoring is limited to authorized external infrastructure
  • SurfaceDiff does not attempt to exploit detected services
  • Application data is hosted on infrastructure located in the European Union
  • All traffic to and from SurfaceDiff is encrypted with TLS

What SurfaceDiff is not

SurfaceDiff is not a vulnerability scanner, firewall or traffic-blocking system.

It does not replace internal monitoring, SIEM or endpoint security.

It provides an independent external record of what changed across the public-facing infrastructure you manage.

Use SurfaceDiff as part of your managed service

MSPs, MSSPs and hosting providers can use SurfaceDiff to extend their existing monitoring and security services with recurring external exposure change detection.

Partner and multi-domain deployments can be discussed during the guided assessment.

FAQ

Does SurfaceDiff scan unverified domains?

No. Domains must be verified before monitoring begins.

Does SurfaceDiff exploit detected services?

No. SurfaceDiff identifies externally visible changes and supporting service information. It does not attempt to exploit discovered services.

Is SurfaceDiff a vulnerability scanner?

No. SurfaceDiff focuses on changes in external exposure rather than CVE detection.

Can it monitor shared hosting environments?

Yes. SurfaceDiff can correlate domains with shared infrastructure to reduce repetitive host-level findings.

Is the assessment free?

The initial guided assessment is currently offered without payment details to selected hosting providers, MSPs and managed cloud teams.

What happens after 14 days?

We review the results with your team. You can then decide whether continued monitoring or a wider deployment makes sense.
