VeilScan is built for companies that need External Attack Surface Management (EASM) but lack the internal security resources to do it continuously. The typical customer is a B2B SaaS or fintech company with 5 to 200 employees — large enough to have customers whose data needs protecting, small enough that there is no dedicated AppSec function.
Use cases span startups preparing for their first security audit, scale-ups managing infrastructure sprawl, and companies that need documented security evidence for enterprise customer due diligence or regulatory compliance.
SaaS startups accumulate attack surface fast. Every new service, subdomain, and integration adds potential exposure. Most early-stage teams do not have a formal process for tracking what is externally visible or checking whether it is configured securely.
VeilScan gives SaaS founders a continuous external view: what subdomains exist, which ports are open, where TLS is misconfigured, and whether any sensitive files are accidentally exposed. The Business Impact Score translates findings into language a CTO can report to the board without security expertise.

Fintech startups face regulatory requirements that demand documented evidence of security controls. ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and GDPR all require ongoing vulnerability management — not just a one-time pentest.
VeilScan produces signed PDF reports with a compliance mapping table showing which findings affect which controls in ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR Article 32, and PCI DSS v4.0. These reports are structured for audit submission and demonstrate a continuous, documented vulnerability management process rather than a one-off point-in-time assessment.

Annual penetration tests are valuable but produce a snapshot. In the 11 months that follow, teams deploy new code, spin up new infrastructure, and change configurations. Each change can introduce new vulnerabilities that the pentest never saw.
VeilScan fills this gap. Scheduled rescans run the full pipeline on your verified domains on a weekly or monthly cadence. Delta reports highlight what changed since the last scan — new findings introduced, and old findings fixed. When a new Critical or High finding appears, Slack alerts notify the team within minutes, not at the next quarterly review.

No. VeilScan complements a penetration test — it does not replace one. A manual penetration test covers internal systems, requires human creativity, and goes deeper into any single vulnerability chain than an automated scanner. VeilScan covers external attack surface continuously and automatically, catching regressions between tests. See VeilScan vs manual penetration testing for a full comparison.
VeilScan is primarily designed for companies at the 5–200 employee stage. Larger enterprises typically have dedicated security teams and internal tooling. That said, VeilScan's external scanning pipeline and proof-based findings are relevant regardless of company size. Contact hello@veilscan.net for enterprise-specific requirements.
No. Domain verification requires DNS access. Beyond that, VeilScan is designed to be usable by a CTO, technical founder, or senior engineer without security expertise. Every finding includes plain-language description, remediation guidance, and business impact context.
