## Overview

ThreatMate is a risk validation platform built specifically for managed service providers (MSPs). Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners that only identify potential issues, ThreatMate combines attack surface discovery, vulnerability scanning, automated penetration testing, and configuration audits to validate which security exposures are actually exploitable—providing documented evidence of real risk.

## Core Philosophy

"Evidence beats vibes. Validate, don't just scan."

ThreatMate transforms security from theoretical alerts into actionable, evidence-based findings that MSPs can present to clients with confidence.

## Key Differentiators

1. Risk Validation vs. Risk Identification: ThreatMate proves what's exploitable, not just what might be vulnerable
2. Built for MSPs: Multi-tenant architecture, inherited settings, PSA integrations, white-label reporting
3. Continuous Testing: Weekly automated pentests, not annual point-in-time assessments
4. Evidence-Based Prioritization: Findings backed by proof-of-concept exploitation, not CVSS scores alone

---

## Platform Capabilities

### 1. Automated Penetration Testing
URL: https://threatmate.com/platform/pentesting

Weekly automated penetration tests that simulate real-world attacks across networks, applications, and cloud infrastructure. Each finding includes:
- Proof-of-concept evidence of exploitation
- Step-by-step attack path documentation
- Prioritized remediation guidance
- Executive-ready reporting for QBRs

Unlike annual manual pentests, ThreatMate provides continuous validation that adapts to changing attack surfaces.

### 2. Microsoft 365 Security Baselines
URL: https://threatmate.com/platform/m365

Automated M365 security configuration auditing aligned with:
- CISA ScubaGear recommendations
- CIS Microsoft 365 Benchmarks
- Microsoft Secure Score optimization

Covers Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Entra ID (Azure AD), and Defender configurations. Identifies misconfigurations like overly permissive sharing, weak authentication policies, and risky app permissions.

### 3. Vulnerability Management
URL: https://threatmate.com/platform/vulnerabilities

Comprehensive vulnerability scanning across:
- Internal networks
- External-facing assets
- Cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Web applications

Prioritization using EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) to focus on vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited in the wild, not just those with high CVSS scores.

### 4. Dark Web Monitoring & User Exposure
URL: https://threatmate.com/platform/dark-web

Continuous monitoring for:
- Compromised credentials in data breaches
- Exposed user accounts on dark web marketplaces
- Leaked corporate data and documents
- Brand impersonation threats

Integrates with identity providers to correlate exposed credentials with active user accounts.

### 5. Windows Config Hardening
URL: https://threatmate.com/platform/endpoint

Read-only Windows security configuration assessment with MSP-scale reporting across customer environments:
- 2,342 active controls across the shipped Windows and Defender catalog
- 1,117 distinct security settings across the catalog
- 449-622 controls evaluated per device depending on operating system
- Client, evidence and technician reports from one assessment
- Covers Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019/2022/2025 and the Microsoft Defender baseline

Microsoft 365 Security Baselines remains a separate capability.

---

## How ThreatMate Works

### Step 1: Connect Surfaces
Link M365 and Google Workspace tenants, add domains and IP ranges, deploy lightweight agents where needed. Setup typically takes hours, not weeks.

### Step 2: Validate Exposures
Continuous scans combined with automated penetration testing surface exploitable risk—not just theoretical findings. Each vulnerability is tested to determine if it can actually be exploited.

### Step 3: Prove Improvement
Generate executive-ready reports showing:
- Current security posture scores
- Trend analysis over time
- Remediation progress tracking
- Evidence of risk reduction for client QBRs

---

## MSP-Specific Features

### Multi-Tenant Architecture
- Centralized dashboard for all clients
- Inherited security policies and settings
- Per-client customization where needed
- Role-based access control

### PSA Integrations
Native integrations with:
- ConnectWise Manage
- Autotask (Datto PSA)
- HaloPSA
- Kaseya BMS

Automatic ticket creation, status sync, and reporting.

### White-Label Reporting
- Custom branding with your logo
- Client-ready executive summaries
- Technical detail reports for remediation
- Trend and progress tracking

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is ThreatMate?
ThreatMate is a risk validation platform for managed service providers (MSPs) that combines attack surface discovery, vulnerability scanning, automated penetration testing, and configuration audits to validate which security exposures are actually exploitable.

### What is risk validation in cybersecurity?
Risk validation goes beyond vulnerability scanning by combining multiple security signals and actually testing whether identified vulnerabilities can be exploited—providing evidence-based prioritization instead of theoretical risk scores.

### How is ThreatMate different from vulnerability scanners?
Traditional scanners identify potential vulnerabilities. ThreatMate validates which ones are actually exploitable through automated penetration testing, providing proof-of-concept evidence rather than probability scores.

### Is ThreatMate built for MSPs?
Yes. Multi-tenant workflows, inherited settings, PSA integrations, and white-label reporting are core to the platform. ThreatMate was designed specifically for MSP operations and scale.

### What is automated penetration testing?
Automated penetration testing uses software to continuously simulate real-world attacks against networks, applications, and systems—validating which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable without manual effort.

### How long does setup take?
Most MSPs are running their first scans within hours. Connect M365 tenants, add external assets, and begin validating security posture quickly. No complex deployments required.

### What PSA systems does ThreatMate integrate with?
ThreatMate integrates with ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA, and more. Tickets, reporting, and workflow automation connect directly to your existing stack.
