# Navigation menus and icons

The NetSPI Platform’s landing page invites you to launch into the modules and dig into the findings, assets, and data
views that help you manage your organization’s security.

![Platform landing](/static/platform_landing_01.png)

The NetSPI Platform's simple navigation is broken into three sections:

[**1:** Left Navigation:](#1-left-navigation) For exploring your NetSPI modules (PTaaS, EASM, and BAS)

[**2:** Top Navigation:](#2-top-navigation-main-netspi-platform-navigation) For accessing your high level dashboards,
findings, assets, and managing your platform experience

[**3:** Workspace Area:](#3-workspace-area) For viewing all the data based on your selection from the left and top
navigation

## 1. Left navigation

The left navigation pane is where you choose the security module: [PTaaS](/ptaas/), [EASM](/easm/), [BAS](/bas/), and
[CAASM](/caasm).

The top menu is also where you access your organization’s [Findings](/findings/findings-in-the-platform/),
[Assets](/inventory-assets/working-with-assets/), [Administrative settings](/start/quick-start/notifications/), and
[preferences for the Platform](/general-navigation/navigation-menus-and-icons/) (dark/light mode, notifications

If you have more than one organization on the NetSPI Platform (subsidiaries, etc.), you can view data for each
organization's data by selecting it from the Organization drop-down list.

![Organization selector](/static/top_dash_icon_of_question2.png)

The Organization selector also supports freeform text entry so you can search for a specific organization by typing
its name in the drop-down list field.

#### Attack Surface Scanning

The Attack Surface Scanning icon is a quick status indicator of your scanning status for the EASM module.
Selecting the icon displays the time since your last attack surface scan, and it shows if the workflows (scans) are
currently running so you have an idea of what is happening behind the scenes. See the [EASM](/easm/) section for
more information on the External Attack Surface Management module.
