Your attack surface changes every day. We watch it continuously.
A point-in-time scan won't catch what changes after it runs. The gap between scans is where risk accumulates.

Continuous Monitoring — EASM
New assets appear. Configurations change. Previously safe systems develop new exposures.
What is Continuous Monitoring?
BlackstoneOne monitors your external attack surface on a scheduled basis, alerting you when new assets appear or existing exposures change. Your external attack surface doesn't stay static — and a point-in-time scan won't catch what changes after it runs.
How does BlackstoneOne help?
Every update is logged automatically, giving you a documented audit trail for NIS2 and DORA compliance requirements. Every change to your external attack surface is recorded — without creating additional work for your team.
How it works
Scheduled scanning
Automated — not once a year
Change detection
New assets and exposures flagged
Alerting
Team notified on every change
Audit trail
NIS2 and DORA compliant logging
The problem with point-in-time scanning
The gap between scans is where attackers operate.
Compliance support
Meets both NIS2 and DORA requirements..
NIS2 Directive
Continuous monitoring and automated audit logging supports your NIS2 obligation to monitor, detect, and document cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis.
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)
For financial sector organisations, DORA requires continuous ICT risk monitoring. BSO automated change logging provides the documented evidence trail DORA demands.
From the 2025 State of Vulnerability Management Report
Why continuous monitoring matters.
#1
Software supply chain failures ranked as the top external vulnerability for two consecutive years — driven largely by components that fall out of date between assessments. Regular automated monitoring closes that gap.

What gets monitored
Any new internet-facing asset connected to your organisation flagged the moment it appears.
Previously safe systems that develop new vulnerabilities caught between scheduled scans.
Third-party and vendor-supplied software monitored continuously — the #1 risk source two years running.
Every change logged automatically. Documentation supports your NIS2 and DORA compliance obligations without additional work.
The difference it makes
✗ Point-in-time scanning
✗ Risk accumulates unseen between scans
✗ New assets undetected until next cycle
✗ No audit trail between assessments
✗ Supply chain gaps widen between scans
✓ With BlackstoneOne
✓ Continuous monitoring — no blind spots
✓ New assets flagged the moment they appear
✓ Automated audit log for NIS2 and DORA
✓ Supply chain monitored around the clock

Frequently asked
How often does monitoring run?
Continuous and scheduled — not annually. New assets and changed exposures are flagged automatically as they occur.
How are we notified when something changes?
Alerts triggered automatically when new assets appear or existing exposures change. Everything logged with timestamps and context.
Does this support NIS2 and DORA compliance?
Yes. Both require ongoing monitoring and documented evidence of risk management. BSO automated audit trail provides exactly that.
What is the difference vs. a vulnerability scan?
A scan is a point-in-time snapshot. Continuous monitoring watches for changes between scans — new assets, shifting configurations, emerging vulnerabilities.
