Executive overview
The SCO read-only thesis, pointed at security posture: vulnerabilities, identity, exposure, patching, and incidents - observed across your security and identity systems to surface risk and drift, not to run your defenses.
What this is, and what it is not. A preview of a planned domain, not a live product. In production it would sit read-only on top of your identity, endpoint, vulnerability, cloud-posture, and ticketing systems - reading findings and posture metadata and surfacing exposure, aging, and drift. It is not a SIEM or EDR, does not detect or respond to threats, does not remediate or change anything, and does not read secrets or credentials. It complements your security stack with a posture view; figures here are synthetic.

Open findings by category synthetic
Signals worth attention
Synthetic preview. In production, derived read-only from identity, EDR, scanner, CSPM, and ticketing systems with SHA-256-anchored lineage, as in SCO.
Vulnerability posture
Open vulnerabilities by severity, how fast they are closed, and where the riskiest ones sit.

Open by severity (count)
Vulnerability bridge (TTM) synthetic
Top exposures read-only
| Asset / system | Finding | Severity | Age |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edge VPN appliance | Unpatched CVE (RCE) | Critical | 21d |
| Public web app | Outdated TLS / library | Critical | 14d |
| OSK-03 OT gateway | Legacy OS, unsupported | High | 40d |
| File server cluster | Missing patches (12) | High | 18d |
| Cloud storage | Public read access | High | 9d |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads scanner and EDR findings read-only; severity per CVSS; AssetShop surfaces, it does not patch.
Identity & access
Who and what has access, how it is protected, and where dormant or over-privileged access widens the attack surface.
Identities by type synthetic
MFA coverage by group
Access worth reviewing read-only
| Category | Count | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Stale accounts (>90d inactive) | 42 | 11 with elevated rights |
| Privileged without MFA | 0 | fully covered |
| Service-account keys >1yr | 23 | rotation overdue |
| Orphaned (no owner) | 9 | offboarding gap |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads identity-provider metadata read-only; no credentials or secrets are ever read.
Asset & exposure
What is on the network, what faces the internet, and what is unmanaged or unsupported.
Assets by environment
Exposed & unmanaged read-only
| Category | Count | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Internet-facing services | 36 | 6 unpatched |
| Unmanaged endpoints | 58 | no EDR |
| EOL operating systems | 24 | OT-heavy |
| Shadow cloud accounts | 5 | ungoverned |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reconciles asset inventories read-only across CMDB, EDR, and cloud; OT read passively.
Patch & configuration
How current systems are on patches, and how far configurations drift from the hardened baseline.
Patch compliance by platform
Config drift by area
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads patch and configuration state read-only; benchmark = CIS; AssetShop never changes configuration.
Incidents
Security incidents over time, how quickly they are detected and resolved, and what caused them.
Incidents per quarter synthetic
Recent incidents read-only
| Type | Severity | Detected | Resolved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phishing (credential) | Medium | <1 hr | Same day |
| Malware on endpoint | Medium | 2 hrs | 1 day |
| Misconfig exposure | Low | 6 hrs | 2 days |
| Suspicious login | Low | <1 hr | Same day |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads incident-ticket metadata read-only from SIEM/ITSM; AssetShop reports, it does not respond.
Cloud posture
Misconfigurations and exposure across cloud accounts - the fastest-moving part of the attack surface.
Findings by severity
By cloud account
| Account | Findings | Critical |
|---|---|---|
| Production (primary) | 28 | 2 |
| Data / analytics | 16 | 2 |
| Dev / test | 14 | 1 |
| Shadow / ungoverned | 6 | 0 |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads CSPM findings read-only; AssetShop surfaces misconfigurations, it does not change cloud config.
Third-party risk
How exposed the business is through its vendors - ratings, overdue assessments, and the highest-risk relationships.
Vendors by risk tier
High-risk vendors read-only
| Vendor type | Rating | Issue |
|---|---|---|
| Logistics platform | D | Breach history |
| Marketing SaaS | C | Data access, weak posture |
| Contract manufacturer | C | No recent assessment |
| Payroll processor | C+ | Sensitive data, overdue |
Synthetic, aggregated. Reads vendor-rating and assessment metadata read-only; ratings illustrative.
Compliance & controls
How control coverage maps to the frameworks that matter, and where evidence is stale or gaps remain.
Control coverage by framework
Largest control gaps read-only
| Control area | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor risk management | Partial | 19 assessments overdue |
| Asset management (OT) | Partial | 58 unmanaged endpoints |
| Key rotation | Gap | 23 stale service keys |
| Logging coverage (OT) | Partial | limited plant telemetry |
Synthetic, aggregated. Maps observed controls read-only to frameworks; this is posture mapping, not a certification or audit.
Connectors & data
Where Security Operations would read from, and the posture it would read with.
Read-only, and it never touches secrets. These connectors are scaffolded, not built - each reports 0/12 conformance until a tenant integration is done. In production they read findings, posture, and identity metadata read-only, with SHA-256-anchored lineage. AssetShop does not read credentials or secrets, does not act on systems, and does not replace your SIEM, EDR, or SOC.
Security connectors
| System | Category | Mode | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Okta / Entra ID | Identity | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
| CrowdStrike | Endpoint / EDR | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
| Qualys / Tenable | Vulnerability | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
| Wiz / CSPM | Cloud posture | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
| Splunk / SIEM | Incidents / logs | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
| ServiceNow | ITSM / tickets | Read-only | Scaffolded 0/12 |
How it stays trustworthy
Planned domain. Connectors are scaffolds; functional conformance (12/12) is verified per tenant at integration, never assumed.
Signals & opportunities
