# CyberScore

> Continuous external attack-surface monitoring for SMB and mid-market.
> One domain in, a 0-100 security score + actionable PDF report out.
> Positioned as "the continuous layer between two pentests" — read-only,
> passive, never invasive.

## What CyberScore does

CyberScore performs **passive external reconnaissance** on a domain you
provide. Every data source we query is publicly available without
authentication; nothing about the target's internal systems ever crosses
our network. Domain in → score out, no credentials required.

We run **14 distinct scanners** in parallel across **5 major pillars** +
1 supporting pillar:

- **Attack Surface**: subdomain enumeration (SecLists 10k wordlist +
  Certificate Transparency via crt.sh), port scan, Shadow IT discovery
  across 73 cloud providers (AWS S3, GCS, Azure, Alibaba, OVH, Hetzner…),
  container security, WAF detection, technology fingerprint with version
  capture (230+ patterns).
- **Vulnerabilities**: CVE matching against detected software versions
  (NVD-backed, 71 vendor mappings), TLS/SSL audit (certificate validity,
  protocols, ciphers), HTTP security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame), web
  application vulnerability classes (SQLi, XSS, CSRF, command injection,
  path traversal, CORS misconfiguration, insecure cookies), API security
  (Swagger/OpenAPI live spec parsing, GraphQL introspection detection,
  BOLA on object-level endpoints, reflective CORS check), JS dependency
  CVE scanner (jQuery, Bootstrap, Lodash, Moment, AngularJS, axios, …
  18+ CVE entries on 12 libraries).
- **Email Security**: SPF, DKIM (45 selectors probed), DMARC policy
  strictness, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, BIMI, DANE, MX hygiene.
- **OSINT & Secrets**: HIBP breach lookup, threat intelligence
  correlation across 7 public sources (VirusTotal, AlienVault OTX,
  AbuseIPDB, Google Safe Browsing, DNSBL, crt.sh, NVD), public GitHub
  leak hunting (13 dorks × 22 TruffleHog patterns, public repos only),
  Wayback Machine archived-URL hunt for forgotten admin/staging
  endpoints.
- **Auth & Cloud IAM**: detection of public login pages (16 paths
  probed), MFA visibility, CAPTCHA/Turnstile gating, password-reset
  workflow audit (token-in-URL leak detection), real ACL audit on every
  public S3/GCS/Azure Blob bucket discovered by Shadow IT pass.

The headline 0–100 score is the **uniform arithmetic average** of the
5 major pillars. Compliance posture (privacy policy, security.txt, etc.)
is tracked separately as a supporting pillar and does **not** move the
headline number.

## What CyberScore deliberately does NOT do

- **No active exploitation.** We never send real SQLi / XSS / RCE
  payloads that could trigger side effects on your servers.
  Vulnerability classes are surfaced via safe detection inputs, not
  confirmed by exploitation.
- **No business logic flaws.** Race conditions, IDOR on workflow-specific
  endpoints, broken price-calculation paths — these need a human
  pentester who understands your domain.
- **No internal network recon.** We scan the public attack surface from
  the outside. We don't pivot, we don't deploy agents on your servers,
  we don't access anything behind your VPN.
- **No social engineering.** Phishing simulations, pretexting,
  OSINT-driven human reconnaissance — not in scope and never will be.
- **No source code review.** SAST belongs in your CI. We scan the
  deployed surface, not the code that produced it.

CyberScore is positioned as the **continuous layer between two
pentests**, not a replacement for the deep human-led pentest.

## Pricing tiers

- **Sample preview** — free demo report on a fixed target. Lets a
  prospect see the deliverable shape without paying.
- **One-time scan ($49)** — single scan, no commitment, full PDF report.
- **Audit Prep ($299)** — Executive Summary PDF + 90-day free rescan +
  findings-delta diff between the two scans. Built for the
  "I have a pentest in 3 months, what's my current state?" use case.
- **Pro ($249/mo)** — continuous monitoring of up to N domains, daily
  scans, drift alerts.
- **Always-On ($399/mo)** — larger portfolio, multi-domain dashboard,
  team seats.
- Annual plans on Pro and Always-On are −20%.

## Tech stack

- **Frontend**: Next.js 14 (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS,
  hosted on a dedicated VPS in France (EU hosting).
- **Backend**: FastAPI + Python 3.11, RQ workers + Redis queue,
  PostgreSQL for tenant data.
- **PDF generation**: WeasyPrint.
- **Deployment**: Docker Compose on a single VPS (no Kubernetes, no
  hidden cloud cost layer).
- **Security posture for CyberScore itself**: JWT in HttpOnly cookies
  + cross-origin SSE, CSRF tokens HMAC-bound to the user, TLS 1.2+
  everywhere, structlog with PII anonymisation, nightly backups +
  recovery runbook, no advertiser sharing, EU hosting.

## Comparison with competitors

CyberScore competes in the **continuous external monitoring** / **DAST
+ ASM** space. We are NOT trying to replace deep manual pentests
(Cobalt, HackerOne) or vendor risk scoring (UpGuard, SecurityScorecard
— those rate YOUR vendors, we rate YOUR own domains).

Comparable products (with our positioning):

- **Detectify** — Swedish, strong on web-app DAST, more expensive,
  similar passive philosophy. We're cheaper and more transparent on
  what's out of scope.
- **Intruder** — UK, full-stack vulnerability scanner including
  authenticated scans. We're passive-only by design (Q2 legal
  directive: never cross the "active scan" threshold).
- **Acunetix** — enterprise pentesting tool, requires authentication.
  Different target market.
- **Qualys / Rapid7 / Tenable** — enterprise-grade, vendor lock-in,
  $$$ pricing. We compete on the "modern SMB who needs more than free
  but doesn't have a $50k/yr budget" segment.
