PILLAR 05 // WEB SECURITY & DATA HYGIENE

Public Exposure & Data Leak Audit (PEDA).

Companies accidentally leak internal spreadsheets, client lists, .env files, and PDF metadata on public servers. Google indexes them. We find these exposures, warn your team, and remediate the gaps within 24 hours.

Security & Hygiene Scope

Public Exposure Scan Spectrum

Search Engine Exposure

Advanced Google Dorking Scan

Deep search engine querying to identify indexed internal URLs, unlinked subdomains, staging environments, and confidential admin portals.

Secret Leak Scan

Exposed .env & Credential Audit

Passive internet scanning for exposed environment configuration files (.env, config.json), hardcoded API keys, and database passwords.

Data Hygiene

Unindexed Spreadsheets & Client Lists

Locating publicly accessible Excel (.xlsx), CSV, and PDF documents containing confidential customer PII, pricing structures, and financial ledgers.

Anti-Spoofing Security

Email Spoofing & DMARC/DKIM Audit

Auditing domain DNS records for missing DMARC, DKIM, and SPF enforcement to prevent phishing attackers from impersonating your executive emails.

Cloud Storage Hygiene

Open Cloud Storage & Bucket Exposure

Identifying publicly accessible AWS S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage objects, and public FTP directories leaking proprietary files.

24h Remediation SLA

24-Hour De-Indexing & Hardening SLA

Immediate execution of emergency Google Search Console de-indexing requests, robots.txt hardening, and server-side access rule enforcement.

Confidential Remediation Records
