## Government Services Draw Sites Built to Imitate Them.

Ministries, agencies and municipalities run permit, tax, benefit and utility services on infrastructure that spans several technology generations. Each of those services is also a template for impersonation.

The Deepinfo Platform keeps an inventory of what the institution exposes, ranks vulnerabilities by exploitation signal so small teams fix the right things first, and finds lookalike domains aimed at citizens.

### Public Services Make Public Targets.

Sprawl

#### Nobody Holds the Full List

Departments, sub-agencies and municipal companies each run their own sites, often through different suppliers. The central team inherits the result.

Seasons

#### Impersonation on a Calendar

Tax filing, benefit enrollment, permit renewals and disaster response each bring lookalike portals that collect payments and personal data.

Capacity

#### Small Teams, Long Queues

Security teams are small next to the surface they cover. Which finding gets fixed first matters more than how many are found.

Suppliers

#### Services Run by Others

Software vendors, hosting providers and service contractors run systems under the institution’s name. Their exposure reads as yours.

### Fix What Attackers Are Using.

CVSS says how severe a vulnerability could be. It doesn’t say whether anyone is exploiting it, and a small team can’t patch every critical at once.

The platform enriches each CVE on your assets with EPSS, the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, and with CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Exploited and likely-to-be-exploited issues on exposed assets go to the top of the queue.

[Risk Scoring](https://www.deepinfo.com/platform/easm/complete-risk-scoring/)

- **CVSS**: How severe, in theory
- **EPSS**: How likely to be exploited in the next 30 days
- **CISA KEV**: Known to be exploited
- **vDeep**: Deepinfo’s own CVSS scoring layer

### From Finding to Verified Fixed.

Each issue carries its evidence and moves from state to state. A fix a department marks as resolved becomes verified resolved only when a rescan confirms it, and if the signal returns, the issue reopens as reappeared.

### Evidence for the Framework That Applies.

Public-sector security frameworks differ by country and level of government, and none of them is a platform classification. What the platform keeps is the record your auditors ask for.

| What an auditor asks | Where the answer comes from |
| --- | --- |
| Which findings fall under OWASP Top 10 2021? | A filter on the mapped classification. The other mapped frameworks work the same way. |
| What was open on a given date, and when did it close? | Issue history and states, including accepted risks and false positives |
| What changed on this asset? | Per-layer snapshots of DNS, WHOIS, SSL, ports, web data and HTTP |
| How is the institution doing overall? | The EASM Executive Summary report, on demand or on a schedule |

### From One Inventory to Takedown Requests.

#### [Attack Surface Management](https://www.deepinfo.com/solutions/use-cases/attack-surface-management/)

One inventory across departments, sub-agencies and municipal companies.

#### [Vulnerability Management](https://www.deepinfo.com/solutions/use-cases/vulnerability-management/)

CVEs ranked by CVSS, EPSS and CISA KEV, so the exploited ones go first.

#### [Phishing Detection and Prevention](https://www.deepinfo.com/solutions/use-cases/phishing-detection-and-prevention/)

Lookalike tax, benefit and permit portals caught when the domain first appears.

#### [Managed Takedown Services](https://www.deepinfo.com/solutions/use-cases/managed-takedown-services/)

Removal requests filed with registrars and hosts, with the evidence attached.

#### [Third-Party Risk Management](https://www.deepinfo.com/solutions/use-cases/third-party-risk-management/)

The suppliers that run services for you, scored on your scale.

#### [Credential Exposure Management](https://www.deepinfo.com/solutions/use-cases/credential-exposure-management/)

Staff addresses in known breaches and staff devices in infostealer logs.

#### [Subsidiary Oversight](https://www.deepinfo.com/solutions/use-cases/subsidiary-oversight/)

Each agency or municipal company as a portfolio, compared on one scale.

#### [Compliance and Audit Readiness](https://www.deepinfo.com/solutions/use-cases/compliance-and-audit-readiness/)

Evidence kept as issues are raised and closed, not collected before the audit.

### The Data Is Yours to Use Too

The index under the platform is also sold as data. Teams that build their own tooling query it through the API or take it as bulk feeds, and Internet Insights shows what it sees each day.

### Questions About Deepinfo in Government

**We have a small team. How does the platform keep the queue manageable?**

Vulnerabilities are ranked with CVSS, EPSS and CISA KEV together, so the queue starts with what is exploited or likely to be. Notifications can arrive as they happen or as an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly digest, and filter-driven bulk actions handle many records in one step.

**Can the platform find fake tax or benefit portals?**

[Brand Risk Protection](https://www.deepinfo.com/platform/brp/) matches newly seen domains against the names of your institution and its services, down to lookalike characters from other alphabets. Confirmed domains go to Managed Takedown, where Deepinfo’s team files the removal request.

**Can we be alerted when a lookalike portal appears?**

Yes, once it is confirmed. A new fraudulent domain, approved by your team or by a rule set to auto-approve, is a notification event, emailed to the team members a rule names the moment it is detected or in an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly digest.

**What does the platform need from us to start?**

A list of your primary domains. Asset Discovery proposes related subdomains, IP addresses and domains from there, and your team approves what belongs to the institution. No agent or network access is involved, because everything is read from the internet.

**Is the scanning intrusive?**

No. Standard monitoring runs no load tests, no exploit attempts and no authenticated scans. Port scans and web requests reach only what a host already exposes to the internet.
