FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
How much does a website security scan cost?
The free Exposure Check costs nothing. It runs 14 of 61 checks and emails you a score, finding titles and severity.
The full Site Report is $149, one payment: every finding with proof, a fix and an effort estimate, plus one retest at 30 days. Complete is $749, one payment, and adds the e-commerce, endpoint and AI-surface checks, four retests, an hour of fixing and a year of Proof Maintenance.
If you want us to do the fixes, each one is priced by effort, from $149 to $749. Proof Maintenance after the first year is $29/mo or $279/yr. There is no subscription unless you choose one.
What does the free check cover?
It runs 14 of 61 checks, all passive or single-request, every one marked on the published list: your SPF and DMARC records, your certificate, HSTS, your redirect chain, mixed content, your content security policy and cookie flags, and a light crawl of about 12 pages for exposed emails, .git/.env/backup files and third-party scripts, plus whether AI agent endpoints are exposed.
You get a score and the title and severity of each finding. The proof and the fix are in the paid report.
What is the Fixed & Proven certificate?
It is issued only after a retest shows a fix worked, never from a first scan. It carries a certificate ID, your domain, the before and after scan IDs, the check-set version, dates, and a public verification page.
Its state is public: PROVEN, EXPIRED when the drift window passes, or REVOKED if the work was refunded. Proof Maintenance is what keeps it current.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, on the terms of the guarantee. If the report has no actionable finding, it's free. If a fix we estimated at 1 hour or less takes more than 2 hours, you get a refund.
A refund revokes any certificate tied to that work, and its public page says so.
What do you never do?
We never run a paid scan before you prove you control the site, with a DNS TXT record or a file at /.well-known. We never run aggressive tests (fingerprinting, path brute force, login attempts) without your per-asset opt-in. We never take over a subdomain to prove a point; we report the risk.
We never put you on a marketing list unless you tick that box, and the box starts unticked. Free-check emails are about your report and your domain, nothing else. We never sell your data, and we never use a report to cold-pitch you.
Is this a subscription?
No. Reports are one-time payments. Proof Maintenance is the only recurring item; it is optional and you can cancel it anytime. On Complete, the first year is included and the price after month 12 is printed before you buy.
Will a scan disrupt my site?
The free check sends single requests and reads public DNS. Paid scans use the Safe Profile by default: low rate, no flooding, nothing aggressive without your opt-in, and we stop within 4 hours of your request. Our scanner names itself on the scanner identity page.
