Securing your website is more important than ever, but getting started doesn’t have to be overwhelming. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our Quick Security Audit. It provides a fast, convenient way to scan your site for common vulnerabilities, delivering results after a few minutes so you can take action to protect your website.
What Does Our Tool Do?
The Quick Security Audit is designed for those who want to assess their website’s security. It checks for common issues like outdated software, data leakage, DNS protection, and more. It’s a perfect first step toward better site security and gives you an overview of the potential vulnerabilities you should be aware of. We’ve added a button to our top menu so you can get started immediately or click the button below.
The Technical Challenges of Automated Audits
Website security auditing isn’t one-size-fits-all. A lot of time, expertise, and experience are required to know what to look for and what to highlight in the reports. Automating this process comes with its own set of challenges but thankfully we’ve been working on it for a long time within our monthly platform and audits.
There are numerous content management systems (think WordPress, Drupal, Joomla) and installations (custom-built, e-commerce) out there and each has its quirks and security issues. It’s not just about the CMS though, security is built up in layers so to get a full picture of how well a site is secured, you need to look at DNS protection, server protection, the web application itself, and how they all work together.
Takeaway: Security is built up in layers. You need to look at DNS protection, server protection, web application protection, and how they all work together.
Our checker looks at all these layers and gives you an easy-to-read result so you can get a basic idea of whether your site is at risk.
Addressing the Potential for Misuse
We understand that any automated audit tool has the potential for misuse. For this reason, we’ve been careful about the level of detail provided in our free reports. While we want to empower website owners with information to fix vulnerabilities, we also recognise the risk of these audits being used by malicious actors to exploit those same vulnerabilities.
How do we manage this balance? The free report provides a high-level overview of the security risks, but we deliberately limit the specific details to prevent it from being a roadmap for attackers. For those who need more details, we offer the opportunity to book a follow-up meeting so you can get the information you need to resolve the issues.
