What Saepio does

Saepio is a London-headquartered, US-incorporated (Saepio LLC) cybersecurity boutique that sells a "Risk Reduction as a Service" platform to organizations with complex external attack surfaces. The service is delivered as a four-step process — Discovery (OSINT-driven asset enumeration of internet-accessible resources), Attack Surface Assessment (passive DNS mapping, open-port and service identification, security misconfiguration and public vulnerability detection, surfaced through an interactive 3D visualization), Domain Management (DNS cleanup, registration consolidation, managed DNS, safe-parking of non-production domains, and sunsetting), and DMARC Management (SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration, aggregation, abuse reporting, and continuous threat monitoring). The flagship differentiator is the 3D Attack Surface Visualization, which frames risk from an adversary's perspective and is repeatedly highlighted in customer testimonials.

The business is a subscription-based, enterprise-focused practice with a quote-based pricing model for OSINT Discovery and a freemium tier for Ongoing Reviews. Go-to-market is direct field sales with a demo-led funnel; the website exposes "Book a Demo" and "Contact Us" entry points, supported by a LinkedIn presence and a newsletter. Reported outcome metrics include 150M+ discovered assets tracked, a 97% increase in customer email deliverability, and 254,000+ impersonation attempts prevented. The named team is minimal — Dan Ward as Founder and Spencer Hatch as Partner — and the company has signaled an M&A-led growth strategy, executing its first acquisition of UK-based offensive security specialist Ruptura in November 2025, with management indicating further acquisitions are expected.

Products and services

• OSINT Discovery Researches an organization and curates a list of internet-accessible resources that trace back to that organization, providing comprehensive external reconnaissance. Aimed at security leaders needing visibility into public-facing assets.
• Attack Surface Assessment Passive assessment that includes DNS mapping, open ports and services enumeration, security misconfigurations and findings identification, and public-facing vulnerability detection. Targeted at organizations with complex external infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management: Microsoft Defender EASM, part of the Defender security portfolio, provides external attack surface discovery for Azure and Microsoft-ecosystem customers. It is broadly comparable to Saepio's ASM offering but distributed as part of a much larger enterprise security stack.
• Wiz: Wiz is a cloud security platform whose cloud-based attack surface and exposure capabilities compete with traditional EASM for enterprise security budget. While cloud-focused, Wiz increasingly overlaps with external attack surface use cases that Saepio addresses.
• Tenable Attack Surface Management: Tenable ASM is the external attack surface module within Tenable's broader vulnerability management and exposure platform. It targets enterprise customers and overlaps directly with Saepio's attack surface assessment, though Tenable's footprint is much broader.
• CrowdStrike Falcon Surface: CrowdStrike's Falcon Surface is an EASM module within the broader Falcon platform, offering external attack surface discovery and monitoring for enterprise customers. It overlaps Saepio's core attack surface offering but is bundled into a much larger endpoint and XDR suite.

Direct peers

• Censys: Censys is a direct attack surface management platform that maps internet-exposed assets and supplies ASM data feeds to enterprises and governments. It competes head-on with Saepio's OSINT Discovery and Attack Surface Assessment modules, serving security teams needing external visibility.
• CyCognito: CyCognito is an external attack surface management platform focused on discovering and prioritizing exposed assets for mid-market and enterprise customers. It is a direct competitor in the same EASM category as Saepio's Attack Surface Assessment.
• Detectify: Detectify offers external attack surface and continuous automated pen-testing, helping organizations discover exposed assets and vulnerabilities. It is directly comparable to Saepio's combined OSINT, ASM, and offensive-security positioning, especially after the Ruptura acquisition.
• Valimail: Valimail is a DMARC, SPF, and email authentication platform that automates domain impersonation and BEC prevention. It directly overlaps Saepio's Email Hardening / DMARC Management module, with a more productized and automated approach.
• Bishop Fox: Bishop Fox is an offensive security consultancy offering penetration testing, red teaming, and attack surface services to enterprise clients. It becomes a direct peer post-Ruptura acquisition, competing for the same offensive-security service wallet as Saepio's expanded portfolio.
• dmarcian: dmarcian provides DMARC deployment, monitoring, and managed services for organizations implementing email authentication. It is a direct competitor to Saepio's DMARC management offering, particularly for mid-market buyers.
