Things we find

This is your recon engine

Assets appear, vendors change, configurations drift, and attackers adapt. Our recon is a continuous cycle: find what’s new, understand how close it sits to your critical systems, validate resilience, and monitor for shifts in security postures.

What Supply Chain Discovery  actually does

Discovers inherited infrastructure from vendors, contractors,  and forgotten tooling

Maps digital proximity to show which vendors are deeply embedded  in ops

Scores vendors based on exposure + business criticality

Identifies outdated logins, exposed test tools, insecure APIs

Prepares GRC-ready reports

Tracks changes over time with continuous scans

Introducing Digital Proximity™
(Patent Pending)

Any tool can map what’s out there. We show you
how close it sits to your core.

ThingsRecon’s signature metric Digital Proximity™ (Patent Pending) measures how deeply a third-party or asset is integrated into your digital surface — technically, operationally, and contextually.

If a vulnerability rated as medium by CVSS sits on a public-facing asset that’s tightly integrated with a high-value business system… it’s critical to you.

A shared login page, a forgotten app, a misconfigured script, an unseen redirect... if it touches your ecosystem, we’ll show you how, where, and why it matters.

Shadow SaaS discovery

Find the vendors you didn’t know were
in your stack.

Employees often introduce tools outside the approved process — whether for analytics, chat, or productivity. ThingsRecon surfaces embedded third-party scripts, DNS entries, and integrations to reveal shadow SaaS that could pose compliance or security risks.

Supply Chain Risk Monitoring

Track third-party exposure before it becomes
your breach.

Your digital surface changes constantly. So does your vendors’. We monitor and prioritize suppliers based on their live exposure across the internet, helping you respond fast to new vulnerabilities or exposed assets.

M&A cyber due diligence

Assess third-party risk during mergers
and acquisitions.

When acquiring or merging with another company, understanding inherited third-party risk is critical. ThingsRecon maps both direct and indirect vendor exposure, helping you avoid surprises during integration.

Cyber regulations compliance

Prove supply chain visibility with evidence-based reporting.

Regulations like NIS2, DORA, and the SEC disclosure requirements demand continuous oversight of supply chain risk. Our discovery-first model helps you demonstrate proactive vendor monitoring with mapped connections.

Use cases that deliver results

How security teams use supply chain discovery.

We were surprised by the level of ‘things’ discovered—far greater than any other solution we have used  or tested.

ThingsRecon helps Northumbria NHS focus our security approach based on evidenced exposure. And they have worked with our team really closely to quickly prioritise and address risks.”

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about ThingsRecon Supply Chain Discovery.

What is supply chain discovery?

Supply chain discovery is the continuous process of identifying, mapping, and monitoring your digital exposure through third-party vendors, services, and integrations. It helps you understand where your organization might be vulnerable through external connections.

Why does supply chain security matter?

Modern organizations rely on a web of suppliers, SaaS tools, and service providers. Each one adds potential risk. Without visibility into how those connections expose you, it's nearly impossible to manage third-party risk effectively, let alone comply with regulatory requirements.

How does ThingsRecon’s Supply Chain Discovery work?

ThingsRecon analyzes domains, scripts, APIs, and IPs to detect supplier-linked assets and exposures. Using proprietary proximity and context insights, we discover your extended ecosystem and show you which suppliers are most integrated—and therefore riskiest.

What is digital proximity?

Digital proximity is our way of measuring how closely a supplier is embedded into your environment—technically, operationally, or through shared infrastructure. This helps you prioritize based on real exposure, not just theoretical risk.

Can this help with compliance?

Yes. Supply Chain Discovery helps meet regulatory expectations under frameworks like DORA, NIS2, and SEC incident reporting, by giving you continuous visibility and defensible, risk-based assessments.

How often is the data updated?

Our platform performs continuous discovery and monitoring. Unlike solutions that sacrifice speed for depth, our AI-driven algorithms pivot across multiple datasets, enabling us to discover more without slowing down. Supplier-linked exposures and changes in your extended surface are surfaced in near real-time.

Does this require installation or agent deployment?

No. ThingsRecon is completely agentless and non-intrusive, meaning no installs or internal access are needed to start mapping your supply chain exposure.

What types of third parties does ThingsRecon detect?

From marketing tech and cloud service providers to hosting infrastructure and niche software tools—if a supplier touches your digital surface, we’ll show you where and how.
