Capability architecture
Scope Management: context, validation and evidence.
This capability contributes to the same platform outcome: understanding realistic attacker exposure and proving what matters.
01Why it matters
- Offensive automation without strong scope controls creates risk.
- Teams need clear inclusion, exclusion and environment boundaries before scans or tests run.
- Scope decisions should be auditable and easy to update.
02ThreatCanary approach
- Support domains, wildcards, IPs, CIDR ranges, subdomains, exclusions and imported scope where appropriate.
- Evaluate scope before discovery, scanning and validation actions.
- Log scope changes and enforce boundaries across workflows.
03What it validates or reveals
- Authorised targets.
- Out-of-scope exclusions.
- Scope drift, conflicts and approval requirements.
04Evidence and outputs
- A clear explanation of the exposure, affected assets and likely attack path.
- Reproducible evidence suitable for analysts, developers and risk owners.
- Prioritisation based on exploitability, business impact, sensitive data and chainability.
- Owner, remediation and workflow context that can move into Jira, Slack, SIEM or reporting.
