External Exposure Reviews for solicitors, hotels & professional firms.
We identify public-facing website, email and data-protection risks before they become client-trust, GDPR or impersonation issues. Plain English. Non-intrusive. No logins. No disruption.
The reality
Your website may look modern. That does not mean the surrounding systems are secure.
Modern professional firms rarely have a single supplier looking after their whole digital presence. The exposure that matters tends to sit in the gaps between providers — not inside any one of them.
Website agencies
Design, content, theme — but not the surrounding hosting or DNS.
IT companies
Endpoints, backups, day-to-day support — but not public-facing posture.
Microsoft 365
Mail and identity, often configured years ago by a different supplier.
DNS / hosting
A separate provider, often with default settings nobody has revisited.
Booking / payments
A SaaS product embedded in the website, with its own attack surface.
Result: small but important exposures get missed. Nobody owns the perimeter between the parties. That's the gap an external exposure review closes.
What we actually check
Four areas. Externally observable. Non-intrusive.
Everything below is information a member of the public could see today. We make it visible to you before someone with worse intent does.
Email & Domain Trust
- SPF · DKIM · DMARC policy review
- Director / partner impersonation surface
- Parked and look-alike domains
- Mail-flow alignment with Microsoft 365
- Brand reputation in receivers' eyes
Data Protection Surface
- Public client or staff exposure
- Booking, intake and contact forms
- WooCommerce / payment risk points
- Tracking scripts & third-party tags
- Metadata leakage in public PDFs and images
Vendor Boundary Validation
- Hosting & DNS provider configuration
- Microsoft 365 alignment & sharing posture
- Booking provider and external plugins
- CDN / WAF posture, if present
- A clear owner mapped to every finding
Dedicated sector
Data protection & external exposure reviews for solicitor firms.
Solicitor firms handle highly sensitive information — medical records, litigation documents, financial details, identity data. Small technical oversights in websites, email systems or DNS configuration can create disproportionate legal and reputational risk.
Microsoft 365 impersonation protection
SPF / DKIM / DMARC enforcement
Website user exposure check
WordPress hardening
Secure form & intake review
Public attack-surface validation
Sample findings
What an actual review looks like. Anonymised.
Real headline findings from recent reviews, with all client identifiers and infrastructure detail removed. Your review remains strictly between us and you.
Solicitor firm — Ireland
Public website exposed administrator usernames and lacked SPF / DMARC protections, allowing potential email impersonation risk for partner correspondence.
Hospitality group — Ireland
Booking infrastructure redirected briefly through insecure HTTP before returning to HTTPS, creating a short window of exposure on guest devices.
Healthcare clinic — Midlands
Patient intake form posted to a third-party processor without an explicit data-processing notice and without TLS pinning on the embedded widget.
Food producer — Tipperary
Microsoft 365 tenant accepted external forwarding by default; a forgotten subdomain published a development site indexed by Google.
Process
Four trust-first steps. Same shape every time.
01
Non-Intrusive Review
No logins. No disruption. No exploitation. We look only at what is already publicly visible from outside your network.
02
Plain-English Findings
A short, business-focused summary that an accountant, partner or hotel GM can read without a technical translator.
03
Remediation Guidance
Clear owner mapping: which item belongs to your website provider, your IT supplier, your Microsoft 365 admin and your DNS provider.
04
Optional Ongoing Monitoring
Quarterly snapshots and exposure tracking — so the posture you fix in March still looks the same in September.
