01Confirm permission for the exact domain and relationship being assessed
Begin here when you need to understand collection, interpretation and reporting. Stay with the domain, relationship or service state named on the page; the task does not widen silently into a different security or product claim.
02Collect bounded DNS, TLS, HTTP, email, service and catalogue evidence without exploitation
The assessment uses direct protocol observations and passive intelligence but stops before exploitation, authentication attempts, brute force and fuzzing. Open the relevant report evidence when you need to verify the source, observation time, attribution or qualification behind it.
03Separate customer-attributed observations from shared, managed and unresolved context
Complete the step shown on the page, then check the resulting state before moving on. Unknown, unavailable and not-applicable outcomes remain distinct, so absence is never presented as a successful or reassuring result.
04Turn the recorded evidence into actions, ownership, monitoring and useful exports
Turn the recorded evidence into actions, ownership, monitoring and useful exports. Record the resulting owner, evidence or recovery state where the product provides it, so another person can verify what happened without repeating the task.
