Digital Footprint

A digital footprint is the complete set of externally observable digital assets associated with an organization: IP addresses, domains, subdomains, DNS records, open ports, web applications, and cloud infrastructure. Establishing an accurate digital footprint is the first step in any outside-in vendor risk assessment, as it defines the scope of what is monitored. Black Kite establishes a vendor's digital footprint from a single top-level domain, automatically discovering associated assets before assessing them.
